Guest guest Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Has anyone seen any major issues with the copper IUD and endometriosis / blood stasis? I have read in passing that it may be a concern. Also, has anyone seen any solid research on this.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 IMO, Actually, there is probably less blood stasis. IUD users have a lower incidence of endometrial cancers. And the heavy bleeding really moves the blood. The mirena IUD, which has progestin in it, which over time causes the menses to become scantier and scantier may be problematic- but that is only projection.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Cara - Isn't there a long term problem with scarring however? Most of the reading I have done indicates that there is often more scarring, perhaps due to low grade inflammations when the IUD is in, that make eventual pregnancies more difficult.
