Polished but pointless? Assessing the potential of gold and silver-alloy IUDs versus copper-only devices in a large multinational cohort (EURAS-LCS12)

Abstract

We did not observe any differences in the clinical outcomes PID and unintended pregnancy between copper-only, copper-silver and copper-gold IUDs. However, copper-gold IUD users experienced more PTC.
