Pain from copper intrauterine device insertion: Randomized trial of prophylactic ibuprofen
Article Abstract:
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial is conducted to determine whether 400 mg of prophylactic ibuprofen can alleviate pain from insertion of an intrauterine device (IUD) and to measure level of pain with improved techniques. The pain from IUD insertion is found to be very less and prophylactic ibuprofen as used in this protocol does not reduce IUD insertion pain.

Treatment of nonatypical and atypical endometrial hyperplasia with a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system
Article Abstract:
A frameless intrauterine drug delivery system can be used to treat a uterine disease called endometrial hyperplasia, according to a study of 12 women. It consists of a knotted thread attached to a fiber that releases 14 micrograms of levonorgestrel every day. The knot is surgically implanted at the top of the uterus, and the fiber hangs down and is completely flexible.

Article Abstract:
The case of a 33-year-old woman is presented who had a hydrosalpinx that was caused by an intrauterine device (IUD). A hydrosalpinx is an enlarged Fallopian tube that is usually caused by infection.
