Will I Get Pelvic Inflammatory Disease if I Use an IUD?
Although Pelvic Inflammatory Disease has been associated with IUD use in the past, modern science has shown that there is no relationship between the two. PID is more commonly caused by sexually transmitted diseases.  However, IUDs can allow the sexually transmitted disease to travel up into the upper genital tract.

How PID and IUDs are Connected
Women who are at risk of getting Pelvic Inflammatory Disease while using an IUD are those whom have a high risk of getting a sexually transmitted disease.  Women who have chlamydia or gonorrhea are at a high risk of Pelvic Inflammatory Disease if they have an active case at the time of insertion of an IUD.  Treatment should be completed for sexually transmitted diseases before the insertion and use of an intrauterine device to minimize the risk of Pelvic Inflammatory Disease.

Early research done in the 1970s led to an association that resulted in the decline of IUD usage in the United States.  An IUD known as the Dalkon Shield was poorly tested and highly marketable which caused many medical problems as well as becoming associated with Pelvic Inflammatory Disease.  The mainstream media jumped on this story and began falsely associating all sorts of reproductive issues with IUDs, including Pelvic Inflammatory Disease.  

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease risk can rise during the first 20 days of an insertion of an IUD due to the insertion process.  The risk is still small, in the 0 to 5 percent range compared to 0 to 3 percent range for women without an IUD.  The process of the insertion of an IUD increases the chance of the STD traveling from the lower genital are into the upper genital tract which causes Pelvic Inflammatory Disease.

When You Shouldn’t Use an IUD
If you have already been diagnosed with a sexually transmitted disease, an IUD may not be the safest form of contraceptive for you.  Although the risk is minimal of getting Pelvic Inflammatory Disease from the insertion, it is still higher than not using an IUD.  Most doctors will have a woman tested for Pelvic Inflammatory Disease as well as sexually transmitted diseases before the insertion of an IUD.  This is to protect the woman and also to allow her to know what is going on in her body at that time.  In many cases, if the doctor finds that a sexually transmitted disease is present, especially gonorrhea or chlamydia, the doctor will recommend a different type of contraceptive to reduce the associated risks.
