The widespread usage of modem contraceptive methods has predominantly been driven by govment family planning policies in efforts to mandate reduced total fertility rates.1 In particular,the high prevalence of long-acting contraception usage can be attributed to the mandatory requirement in the early 1980s for women with one child to have a copper intrauterine device (IUD) fitted and for sterilization for those with two or more children,2and more recently through financial incentives for married couples to use long-acting contraceptive methods.1 The levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) has been available in China since 2000 for contraception and treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding.Little is known about the profile of the Chinese women opting to use the LNG-IUS and the type of information they received before intrauterine system placement.We undertook this survey to profile the Chinese women choosing to use the LNG-IUS in clinical practice.
