After the initial visit, how often should a woman with an IUD be seen for a check-up if there are no issues?

Every 3 months
Every 6 months
Every 12 months
Every 18 months

The correct answer is: Every 12 months

For a woman with an intrauterine device (IUD), the standard recommendation for routine follow-up visits, assuming there are no complications or issues, is typically once every 12 months. This annual check-up allows the healthcare provider to ensure that the IUD is still properly placed and functioning as intended, as well as to monitor the woman's overall reproductive health. Regular annual visits can also help in addressing any potential concerns the patient may have, such as menstrual changes or discomfort, and provide an opportunity for education on contraceptive options and family planning. While some women may benefit from more frequent visits based on individual circumstances or specific health needs, the guideline for healthy individuals without issues stands at yearly check-ups. This approach balances adequate monitoring with convenience for the patient.
