Contraception

Non-interventional, real life study on satisfaction with LNG-IUS in Spanish young women (18-30 years old) with different parity status and menstrual bleeding pattern

Trial purpose

The aim of this non-interventional study (NIS) is to assess, under real-life conditions, woman’s satisfaction with Levonogestrel IntraUterine System (LNG-IUS) in a young (18-30 years old (y.o.)) Spanish population taking into account their parity status.
Furthermore, the study is aimed to evaluate the impact of: menstrual bleeding pattern and satisfaction with it at baseline, LNG-IUS chosen, previously used contraceptive method and reasons for change to/ choice of a LNG-IUS on overall satisfaction with LNG-IUS use.
