Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Women with a history of pelvic inflammatory disease or current sexually transmitted infections like gonorrhea may be at heightened risk for complications if an IUD is inserted. Therefore, Jessica should avoid using an IUD as a contraceptive method. The other options (diaphragm, oral contraceptive, and spermicides) may be suitable for her, but she should discuss her medical history with her healthcare provider to determine the best choice for her.
