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).

TITLE

Gonorrhoea and the intrauterine contraceptive device.

AUTHORS

Statham R; Morton RS

SOURCE

British Medical Journal 4: 623-625. December 7, 1968.

ABSTRACT

The authors observed 7 women having gonorrhea with an IUD in situ in a period of 18 months. 3 of these cases

developed salpingitis that was complicated by the IUD. Although pelvic inflamatory disease is not common with the

IUD, when it occurs, gonorrhea should be suspected. For proper treatment, the IUD should be removed before

antibiotic therapy is begun. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT9T 1068-06)
