Copper IUD's were associated with less episodes of "PID". It was assumed that the intense inflammatory effect and the enormous millions of polys resulting from the copper effect protected by killing sperm and gc/Chlamydia. I believe the rep may be mixing his product with some other one although a thick mucus plug from the standard pill is also protective. sAm -----Original Message----- From: ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net [mailto:ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net] On Behalf Of Gold, Ingrid Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2007 2:06 PM To: Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L Subject: lost IUD I have been told by a Mirena rep that the PID risk is actually less than with no IUD, as a result of the mucous plug formed in the cervix and its role in preventing ascending infection.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
