A member asked:
I've heard that having an iud (and the insertion procedure) is not recommended/so safe for young women who've never had a child. is this true?

No: IUD can be safely use by nulliparous women. You may consult this site for info: https://www.verywell.com/iud-use-in-nulliparous-women-906759

Old practice: We don't now use mustard poultices or do formal blood letting on patients. That idea was pretty common for many years but today it is routine to put an IUD in teens and other young women who have never had kids.
