Pain and heavier than normal menstrual flow are the most common side effect associated with the copper intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD). At one year after insertion, five to 15 percent of IUCD users will have had the device removed because of increased menstrual pain or bleeding. Most often these concerns can be minimized with the use of non steroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDs).
