Question

In which woman would an IUD be contraindicated?

A. Nulliparous woman in a monogamous relationship
B. Woman with a history of ectopic pregnancy
C. Woman with heavy menstrual bleeding
D. Woman who desires long-term contraception

Answer 1

An intrauterine device (IUD) is contraindicated in a woman with a history of ectopic pregnancy, despite being suitable for long-term contraception and other scenarios.

Step-by-step explanation:

An intrauterine device (IUD) is contraindicated in a woman with a history of ectopic pregnancy. An IUD is a highly effective form of reversible contraception that has less than a one percent failure rate. The device, which can be of a hormonal or copper variety, is inserted into the uterus by a physician and can stay in place for an extended period. Although IUDs can increase menstrual bleeding and cause more painful menstrual cramps, they are often suitable for long-term contraception and are not contraindicated in nulliparous women, women with heavy menstrual bleeding, or those who desire long-term contraception.
