Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are a form of long-acting reversible contraception that are inserted into the uterus

Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are a form of long-acting reversible contraception that are inserted into the uterus. They are small, T-shaped devices made of plastic and copper or hormonal materials, which are effective at preventing pregnancy for up to 3-10 years depending on the type. The IUD works by preventing fertilization of the egg by sperm, and by making the uterine environment inhospitable to implantation of a fertilized egg. IUDs are a popular contraceptive option for those who want a low-maintenance and highly effective method of birth control.

IUD insertion is a relatively simple procedure that can be performed in a healthcare provider's office. The provider will first conduct an exam to ensure that the patient is a suitable candidate for the IUD, and may provide local anesthesia or medication to help with discomfort. They will then insert the device through the cervix and into the uterus, where it will remain until it is removed. There may be some mild cramping or spotting after the procedure, but most patients are able to return to normal activities shortly after insertion. It is important to follow up with a healthcare provider to ensure that the IUD is properly in place and functioning correctly.

IUDs are a highly effective and long-lasting form of contraception that can provide peace of mind for those looking to prevent pregnancy. While the insertion process may cause some discomfort, the benefits of the IUD make it a popular choice for many individuals. It is important to talk to a healthcare provider about the best contraceptive options for each individual's needs and lifestyle.
