Therefore contraception is the utilization of various and sundry surgical procedures, devices, practices, agents, or drugs with the intention of preventing conception or impregnation (pregnancy).

ABSTRACT

Although allergic reactions to copper are rare, skin disorders may appear or worsen during the perimenstrual period.

This paper presents the case of a 41-year-old user of a copper-containing IUD who presented with a history of

recurrent, self-healing skin eruption associated with abdominal pain. The eruption followed a cyclical pattern,

appearing 3-7 days before menses and improving spontaneously with the onset of bleeding. Patch testing revealed a

positive reaction to copper sulfate and nickel sulfate. After the IUD was removed, abdominal symptoms subsided at

the next cycle and progressive resolution of the dermatitis was observed. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT2T 28-
