Chlamydia and gonorrhea are important preventable causes of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and infertility.

Many women with fibroids have no symptoms. If you do have symptoms, they may include heavy or painful periods or bleeding between periods , feeling 'full' in the lower abdomen, urinating often, pain during sex, lower back pain, reproductive problems, such as infertility, multiple miscarriages or early labor.

IUD is used by some women for regular birth control, but you can also have a doctor or other trained clinician insert it up to five days after sex to prevent pregnancy. As emergency contraception, the Copper-T IUD is much more effective than either type of emergency contraceptive pill (or “morning after pill”).
