IUD usage is on the rise in U.S.August 31st, 2010 - The Philadelphia Inquirer

Aug. 31, 2010 (McClatchy-Tribune Regional News delivered by Newstex) -- After two decades of being about as popular as chastity belts, the intrauterine device is catching on again in this country.

IUD use nearly tripled in just six years, growing from 2 percent of birth-control users in 2002 to about 6 percent in 2008, according to the latest federal survey. That translates to 2.1 million women -- and the kind of market growth not seen since sales peaked in the 1970s.
