“…The number of studies investigating the effect of contraceptive methods on sexual function is quite limited in the literature. There was no significant difference in terms of sexual dysfunction in the study of Koseoğlu et al (14) comparing the women who use IUDs and who do not use any methods. It is known that every contraceptive method may have different characteristics that affect the sexual function (pelvic pain in the use of IUD, tension, and anxiety in the use of COCP and etc.)…”

“…According to the literature, the frequency of female sexual dysfunction in Turkey ranges from 40 to 60% (7,14). In the study of Oksuz et al (7), the frequency of female sexual dysfunction was found to be 48.3% and in Koseoğlu et al's (14) studies, it was 57.1%. In the world, female sexual dysfunction is seen with a frequency of 30-60% (15,16).…”

Aim: Sexual function is a complex process that is influenced by physical, biological and emotional factors. The use of contraception is very common among women and can affect women's sexual functions in various ways. The aim of this study was to investigate of factors affecting sexual functions and contraceptive method preferences of women. Material and Methods: The study was planned in cross-sectional descriptive pattern and women between the ages of 18-49 who were not in menopause and who used contraception were included in the study. Sociodemographic data form and Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) were used to collect data. The independent effects of different determinants on sexual dysfunction were evaluated by logistic regression analysis model. Results: In this study, 45.5% of women were found to have sexual dysfunction (FSFI score <26.55). Logistic regression analysis of sexual dysfunction revealed that using modern contraceptive methods (OR= 0.393, 95% CI 0.191-0.808) and considering that the income was adequate (OR= 0.405, 95% CI 0.211-0.780) were found to be protective factors, while presence of chronic disease (OR= 2.639, 95% CI 1.074-6.481), vaginal discharge (OR= 2.121, 95% CI 1.130-3.937) and self-decision on method of contraception by herself (OR= 3.331, 95% CI 1.471-7.543) were found to be risk factors. Conclusion: The use of modern contraceptive methods can protect women from sexual dysfunction when compared to traditional contraceptive methods. If the method of contraception used by women is learned and the directions they need are made, their sexual life and quality of life can be improved.

Intrauterine devices (IUDs) represent one of the most important methods used for contraception. The methods vary in terms of efficiency, acceptability, costs, and potential complications. Early methods have been improved, and ultrasound (US) evaluation has become an important tool to diagnose the clear majority of IUDs complications. This chapter presents a comprehensive and up-to-date status regarding the use of intrauterine devices (IUDs) for birth control and family planning. The topics discussed in the manuscript will involve the current knowledge on the history, types, mechanisms, health benefits, and risks. More, the present paper presents the medical techniques for inserting and removing a IUD, and the role of US to confirm proper IUD placement. Also, this chapter offers practical guidance in managing problems of continuing users and discusses the clinical circumstances that require reconsideration of the contraception methods.

“…2 Furthermore, it has been reported that > 40% of the women complain of 1 or more sexual problems. 1,2 The possible impacts caused by a contraceptive method in the QOL and sexual function of women may influence their choice for a method or be the cause for its premature discontinuation. 3,4 Long-acting reversible contraceptive (LARC) methods (intrauterine contraceptives [IUCs], including copper intrauterine device [Cu-IUD] and levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system [LNG-IUS], and subdermal implants) are highly safe, costeffective, suitable for all reproductive ages, and well accepted, 1,5 especially because they do not require the constant attention of the user.…”

Objective To compare sexual function and quality of life (QOL) among intrauterine contraceptive (copper-intrauterine device [Cu-IUD] or the 52-mg 20 µg/day levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system [LNG-IUS]) users. Methods This was part of a cross-sectional study. Women aged between 18 and 49 years old, in a heterosexual relationship, reporting sexual intercourse in the previous 4 weeks, using Cu-IUD (Group 1) or LNG-IUS (Group 2) responded to a questionnaire with sociodemographic information, to the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), to the World Health Organization QOL Questionnaire Abbreviated Version (WHOQOL-BREF), and to a questionnaire about the contraceptive method used. The Student t-test, the Pearson χ2 test or the Fisher exact test, and the Mann-Whitney test were used for the analysis. For the adjusted comparison, we have used the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). A multiple regression analyzing factors related to FSFI ≤ 26.55 was done. Significance was established at p < 0.05. Results A total of 347 women in Group 1 (mean age of 32.3 ± 7.5 years old) and of 298 in Group 2 (mean age of 32.7 ± 6.4 years old) completed the questionnaires. Most women had ≥ 8 years of schooling, were in a monogamous relationship, and had had ≤ 2 pregnancies. A total of 122 Cu-IUD and of 87 LNG-IUS users scored ≤ 26.55 on the FSFI. Significant lower scores in physical, environmental, and overall QOL domains in the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire were found in Group 1. More women using the Cu-IUD were not satisfied with the method. Conclusion We did not find significant differences in sexual function; there was a lower score in some domains of QOL among women who used the Cu-IUD. It was not possible to ensure that those differences were related to the contraceptive method.
