Abstract
Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are safe, highly effective, reversible contraception and come in 2 varieties in the United States: nonhormonal (copper) or levonorgestrel hormonal (LNG) IUDs. There are few absolute contraindications, making them appropriate birth control for most patients. Patients are more likely to select an IUD when counseled about IUD removal and factors that are important to them. IUD insertion and removal are uncomplicated office procedures that can be offered by primary care providers.
