TL;DR: The LNG-IUD is a long-acting reversible contraceptive method for 5 years with a pregnancy rate comparable to female sterilization and the incidence of PID is low even in young women, and the positive health effects such as decreased menstrual blood loss and increased blood haemoglobin concentration make it a favorable combination of hormonal and intrauterine contraception.

TL;DR: The levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine contraceptive device was the only form of treatment to reduce mean menstrual blood loss below 80 ml per menstruation, the upper limit of normal menstrualBlood loss was reduced by all three forms of treatment.

TL;DR: In this article, a survey comprised 50 consecutive perforations occurring with intrauterine devices (IUD) reported to the National Patient Insurance Scheme Register during 1990 to 1993, and concluded that lactating women seem to be a risk group for perforation.
