All methods of contraception are associated with the risk of pregnancy and complications. Although there is extensive literature on complications associated with the use of IUD, there are some aspects of IUD use that require further study including pelvic actinomycosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and tubal infertility. Each of these are reviewed briefly. Ways in which the use of currently available IUDs may be made safer are discussed.
