Women who used progestin-only IUDs were 22% less likely to have a stroke than those who did not use hormonal contraception and no more likely to suffer a brain bleed.
Women who used levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine devices were 22% less likely to have a stroke than those who did not use hormonal contraception, new research suggested.
The new study was a large-scale investigation of all reproductive-age women in Denmark that compared stroke risk in those who used the progestin-only IUDs with those who didn't use hormonal contraception. It also examined the risk for intracerebral hemorrhage, which had not been previously studied. During the study period, 2916 women had an ischemic stroke, and 367 experienced intracerebral hemorrhage.
The researchers urged caution in interpreting the apparent higher risk for brain bleeds in younger women, noting that the overall number of events was low, resulting in wide CIs.
