/Contraception - June 2018
May 21, 2018 - Published
IUD self-removal is an option that some patients may be interested in. Addressing concerns about safety may make self-removal more appealing to some patients. Addressing physicians' concern about "hasty" removal may require additional training so that providers are better able to support patients' decision-making around contraceptive use. Implications: The option of self-removal could have a positive impact on reproductive autonomy and patient-decision making.
