“…At the present time, and in light of the available data, we believe that the inert plastic IUDs do not have any neoplastic effect on the cervical epithelium. The more recently developed copper-bearing IUDs have had only a limited evaluation in this respect (1,7,11) and require further long-term investigations.…”

A case-control study was undertaken to investigate the effects of intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUDs) on the histology of cervical epithelium. Ninety-one women who had used IUDs for 2--13 years were case subjects and were compared with the same number of women who had never used any form of contraception (control subjects). Two subgroups were investigated, group A and group B. Group A consisted of 53 IUD users and 53 controls coming to family planning and gynecology clinics, and group B consisted of 38 IUD users and 38 controls from dysplasia clinics. Cervical cytology and colposcopically directed cervical biopsies were taken in all women. There was no difference between IUD users and control subjects in the proportion or the severity of dysplasia in either group A or group B. There was no evidence of an increase in the prevalence or severity of dysplasia with prolonged IUD use.
