Abstract:
To study the effect of using a steel stainless intrauterine device(IUD) on the incidence of anemia and iron deficiency and thus to find a suitable way to prevent or cure it, the serum ferritin level of 176 women bearing such an IUD was determined (FER-IRON kit, Ramco laboratories, USA). As compared with the control group which was composed of 163 women having been performed with tubal sterilization, no distinct difference in hemoglobin levels and red cell counts was observed, but the serum ferritin level in IUD-bearing group decreased markedly (26.6?1.4 vs. 36.3?2.2 ng/ml, pears). When treated with ferrous sulfate (0.3 g, t.i.d.) for 7 days, the ferritin level of the group of these IUD users raised up to that of the control group rapidly. It was suggested that the supplement of iron in time for the IUD users suffering from menorrhagia was necessary and efficient.
