Abstract
Introduction
Over the last two decades, intrauterine device (IUD) usage has significantly increased [1]. IUDs are among the most reliable reversible contraceptives, appealing to women across various age groups. Hormonal birth control methods, including IUDs, have been linked to side effects, such as headaches, nausea, breast soreness, vaginal yeast infections, spotting, and hypertension [2]. Among the lesser-documented side effects of IUDs is the potential onset of rosacea. Rosacea is characterized by facial redness, flushing, discomfort, and acne-like lesions, predominantly affecting women aged 30 to 50 [3]. Although its exact cause is unclear, factors such as genetics, environmental triggers, blood vessel abnormalities, and immune dysfunction have been implicated. Recent studies suggest a potential link between hormonal factors and rosacea [4]. The objective of this study is to investigate the role of IUDs in the onset of rosacea.
