Relative contraindication

Some clients can use IUCDs with caution. If a woman comes to you for an IUCD and she has diagnosed valvular heart disease, a past history of PID (not active PID), abnormalities of the uterus resulting in a distorted cavity, a history of ectopic pregnancy, or a lowered immune response, you should advise her to first see a doctor for further examination.
