ABSTRACT

The intrauterine device should be taken as the first line in the contraceptive plan for adolescent women.
Among the noncontraceptive effects are: the management of dysmenorrhea, endometriosis or dysfunctional uterine bleeding.
Its effectiveness does not change according to the age or parity of the user.There is no evidence that increases the risk of uterine perforation, pelvic inflammatory disease or difficulty at the time of insertion that serves as an excuse to exclude nulliparous adolescents from their use
