This paper is a literature review that investigates whether there is a link between copper IUD use and the development of endometriosis, framed in the context of “iatrogenic endometriosis” (endometriosis occurring after gynecological or obstetric surgical procedures). It aims to assess what is known about endometriosis developing in patients with a copper IUD and no prior history, and it also discusses the potential social cost of an increase in endometriosis cases attributable to iatrogenic causes. A key limitation is that, as a literature review, it does not present new primary clinical data and depends on the quality and availability of prior reports. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it specifically focuses on the claimed relationship between copper IUDs and endometriosis and iatrogenic mechanisms.
