Patient discussions
Strict adherence to contraception is advised after completion of treatment.[3][34][54] Most methods of contraception, including oral contraceptives, can be safely used after treatment for GTD and can be started immediately after uterine evacuation.[55][56] However, intrauterine devices (medicated or not) are contraindicated in women with active, invasive tumours or persistently elevated hCG levels because of the risk of uterine perforation.[54]
