- Abstract
The intrauterine device (IUD) has corresponding side effects including reproductive tract infectious diseases, irregular vaginal bleeding, menoxenia, lower abdominal pain, pain in the lumbosacral region and ectopic gestation. A prior study conducted by Bhatia and Cleland reflected that contraceptive usage was one of the factors that influence the occurrence of RTIs in South India. Although many studies have been conducted in various parts of different countries with the aim to document the prevalence of RTIs and its risk factors, there remains a lack of sizable literature for Chinese women who use specific IUDs. Therefore, we conducted an analysis on the relationship of IUD type and processing period with the occurrence rate of RTI.
