Which condition is a contraindication to insertion of an intrauterine contraceptive device?
Correct answer: A. Current pelvic inflammatory disease
- A. Current pelvic inflammatory disease
- B. History of uncomplicated vaginal birth
- C. Mild menstrual cramps before insertion
- D. Previous use of oral contraceptive pills
Explanation
An active pelvic infection should be treated before an intrauterine device is inserted because insertion may worsen or spread the infection. A previous vaginal birth, mild cramps, and past pill use are not by themselves contraindications.
