Abstract There are two types of commonly used IUDs including the Multi Load CU 375 IUD and Copper T 380A IUD. The former was originally approved by the U.S. FDA in 1984, and the latter invented by the Dutch in 1974. Several multi-center randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have been performed to compare the effectiveness and safety of TCu380A and MLCu375. Both MLCu375 and TCu380A are generally acknowledged as safe and effective, and are strongly recommended by the WHO on that basis. We aimed to compare between two types of copper IUDs different in shape and size (Cu375) & (Cu380Ag) regarding bleeding pattern our randomized controlled clinical trial conducted at family planning outpatient clinic on 220 patients divided into two groups with insignificant differences between two groups as regard age p-value 0.934. |
