ParaGard insert says contraindicated with a *history* of PID, no time frame. Contraceptive Technology (*THE* contraceptive authority IMO) says only contraindicated if PID occurred within last 3 months.

Pt wants an IUD, is a candidate but all other estimations except she had PID 7 years ago........do you put it in?

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.
