Use of the levonorgestrel releasing-intrauterine system in nulliparous women--a non-interventional study in Sweden.

Objectives: To evaluate the insertion procedure and continuation rates of the levonorgestrel releasing-intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) in nulliparous women who, due to fear of complications, are often denied this very effective contraceptive method.

Methods: A non-interventional study of 224 nulliparous women attending family planning services for insertion of a LNG-IUS.

Results: There were only six unsuccessful insertions.
