Zusammenfassung:	In this review paper some guidelines for IUD use are presented that if followed should reduce the incidence of IUD-related complications. Recent IUD developments are discussed including the levonorgestrel-releasing T, a new variation of the Multiload, and IUDs designed for postpartum insertion. Since significant improvements in IUD safety will most likely result from a better understanding of IUD-related side-effects and adverse reactions, the paper includes recommendations for future IUD research that could enhance the safety, effectiveness and acceptability of available IUDs.
