HEALTH,INSIGHTS

An intrauterine device (IUD) is a small, T-shaped device that is inserted into the uterus as a form of long-acting reversible contraception.

An intrauterine device (IUD) is a small, T-shaped device that is inserted into the uterus as a form of long-acting reversible contraception. IUDs are highly effective at preventing pregnancy, with a failure rate of less than 1%. They are also convenient, as they do not require daily attention like other forms of birth control, such as pills or patches.

The process of getting an IUD typically involves a healthcare provider inserting the device into the uterus during a routine office visit. There are two types of IUDs: hormonal and non-hormonal. Hormonal IUDs work by releasing progestin, a hormone that thickens the cervical mucus and prevents sperm from reaching the egg. Non-hormonal IUDs, on the other hand, use copper to create an inflammatory response that is toxic to sperm, preventing fertilization.

Overall, IUDs are a safe and effective option for women looking for long-term contraception. They can be used for up to 3-10 years, depending on the type of IUD, and can be removed at any time if the woman wishes to become pregnant. If you are interested in getting an IUD, it is recommended to talk to your healthcare provider to determine if it is the right choice for you.
