Data are reported on the use of the Gyne-T Cu 380-A IUD in 200 women in Novi Sad, Yugoslavia, between 1981-84. 112 women were aged 25-29 years, 74 were 30-34, and 13 were 35-40. The mean age was 29.4 years. None of the women had ever had a spontaneous or illegal abortion, a premature birth, an ectopic pregnancy or a hydatidiform mole. The mean number of births was 1.92 and the mean number of legal abortions was 2.16. Each patient was followed for about 32 months, and 6400 woman months of use were observed. No problems occurred in insertion of the devices. Minor side effects were reported by 15% of the women, including 9 cases of mild pelvic pain during the 1st 7 days after insertion which disappeared without treatment, 14 cases of spotting lasting 4-5 days which also disappeared without treatment, and 7 cases of mild pelvic pain and spotting. Complications occurred in 3 cases: 1 IUD was expelled 24 hours after insertion, an intrauterine pregnancy of 6-7 weeks was diagnosed 3 months after insertion, and a patient who had also become pregnant while using an ML Cu 250 and later an inert Yugoslavian IUD called the Intragal became pregnant 11 months after insertion of the Gyne-T. Based on 6400 woman months of use, the Pearl index is .37. No other secondary effects or complications were observed, but clinical and laboratory research is continuing.
