Outside of the United States, the IUD is an exceptionally popular form of birth control, and countries where the IUD is no. 1 (even among women without children) show a low incidence of risk associated with the IUD. It's one of the safest, most effective, cost effective forms of birth control. Why are doctors in the US so paranoid? We have a malpractice-oriented, sue-happy society. They HAVE to warn you about all possible side effects, no matter how far-fetched.
I'm going to be looking into getting an IUD shortly.
