Abstract :

Objective. To assess the safety, comfort and satisfaction with the use and continuation of LNG-IUS in our population. Material and method. A prospective observational study conducted at a private clinic of gynecology, obstetric and reproductive medicine services. All healthy women aged 18-40 years old with regular menses requesting contraception were recruited. Participants who decided to use the LNG-IUS were included. A survey was given and complimented at 1 week, 1 month, 6 months and a year after placement of the LNG-IUS. A different survey was filled in case of retirement of the LNG-IUS. Results. A total of 114 women participated in the study. After a whole year of use, 95% of women were satisfied of choosing the LNG-IUS as their contraceptive method and more than 90% of all women stated that they wouldn�t choose other contraceptive method with a 95% of women willing to recommend its use. Conclusion. The LNG-IUS is a good and safety option for contraceptive method in women despite their parity and age.
