Influence of intrauterine dispositive in human papillomavirus clearance

An important inverse relation between IUD use and risk of cervical cancer has been proved. Women who used IUD had half the risk of developing cervical cancer. The mechanism how IUD is a protector factor is still unknown. Could be improving the clearance of HPV infection or stopping progression to cancer from preneoplasic lesion.The aim of the study is to check if IUD increases HPV clearance, that is, checking if after 1  year HPV infection disappears in more patients using IUD than those not using it.
