Although quite comprehensive, this page could do with a WP:CITE, especially the statistic that use of IUS has halved the incidence of hysterectomy. JFW | T@lk 17:18, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

It is perfectly possible to directly measure menstrual flow. It is incorrect to say that in practice it is never done. It has been done and it seems likely that it will be done in the future.

"although in practice this is never directly measured by patients or doctors" - does not claim can not be done, it is just that this tends to be a research tool. It is never in my experience used in routine clinical setting of any gynaecology outpaients that I have ever encountered in UK. David Ruben ^Talk 00:53, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
