In this article we have reviewed the specific implications of NSAIDs in obstetrics, gynecology and infertility. These medications were found to be effective not only in pain management, but also had additional beneficial influence such as decreasing menstrual bleeding, preventing premature ovulation in natural IVF cycles and serving as tocolytics in preterm labor.

Key words: diclofenac, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, obstetrics and gynecology.
