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.
