Clinical evaluation of U-coil progesterone releasing device versus inert U-coil IUD

ABSTRACT

Seventy six patients were randomly selected to be fitted with U-Coil intrauterine device. The inert U-Coil device was inserted in 39 patients and the progesterone releasing U-Coil device was inserted in 37 patients. Patients fitted with both types of device were followed up for 12 post insertion months. The present paper evaluates the efficacy and the side effects of the U-Coil progesterone releasing intrauterine device versus Inert U-Coil device. The effect of both types of device on menstrual blood loss was discussed in a previous publication
