| | Examples of Misconceptions: Intrauterine Device - IUD |
| | There is no need to remove an IUD after a certain period of time, such as two years, unless medical problems occur or the woman wishes to have it removed. | | | Generally speaking, the effectiveness of the IUD is said to increase the longer it is retained. | | | "Copper T" IUDs are being investigated in some centres and preliminary experience suggests that they have greater effectiveness and fewer side effects than conventional devices. |

| | IUDs are as effective at preventing pregnancy as sterilization and begin to work immediately after insertion. | | | If you are prescribed physical therapy for any reason while you have the ParaGard IUD in place, it is important that you do not have a type of treatment known as short wave diathermy. | | | The IUD is very effective in preventing pregnancy. |

| | Contraceptive Methods: Intrauterine Devices |
| | Careful screening of IUD candidates and sterile insertion technique were suggested as more cost-effective interventions to control IUD-related PID than use of expensive antibiotic therapy (Farley 1992). | | | Although all the modern IUDs are very effective at preventing pregnancy, this long-term comparison found that the Copper T380A was nearly twice as effective as the Multiload-375, with reported pregnancy rates of 3.4 versus 5.4 percent after 10 years (WHO 2002). | | | The most definitive review of IUD safety, particularly regarding PID, is the World Health Organization review of 12 studies involving nearly 23,000 IUD users around the world (Farley 1992). |

| | The results of this research suggest that the practice of scheduling frequent revisits for IUD users aids in the detection of situations requiring medical interventions, and a four-visit regimen is about twice as beneficial as a two-visit regimen. | | | Clinicians' recommendations to IUD users may reflect either their institution's guidelines or their own sense of what represents appropriate health care. | | | The third variable necessary for analysis of health outcomes was whether the visit was scheduled or unscheduled, which we determined by asking each woman the purpose of her visit. |

| | Although doctors claim they aren't quite sure how the IUD works, it is clear that the IUD does not prevent ovulation, which means that the woman's body will still produce an egg during her monthly cycle. | | | This is not necessarily painful to the woman, but it can have negative effects on a tiny human being. | | | Abortion is an act of direct killing that takes the life of a tiny human being-a life that begins at fertilization. |

| | If IUD use is to increase, program planners need to understand the factors influencing clients' motivations to use the method and providers' motivations to encourage its use, as well as their skills in providing it. | | | While the simulated clients reported that the IUD was discussed in many of their visits, they often had to request the information; typical family planning clients would probably not take this initiative, particularly if they have already heard negative stories about the device. | | | Among IUD users, factors of particular interest included women's reasons for choosing the method, their experience with it and why they liked or did not like it. |
