  • Description
Description

It is an effective contraceptive option to prevent pregnancy and ovulation in females. It is also called a birth control device that has a T shape structure.

Types of Intrauterine Device

It is of two types which are as follows:-

1. Hormonal 

  • It is levonorgestrel IUD which may have long-term and short-term forms to prevent pregnancy. After putting it into the uterus releases female hormone that thickens the line of the uterus and prevents sperm from reaching the fertilized eggs. 

2. Nonhormonal 

  • It is also called copper IUD which is a thin wire of copper that wraps the T shaped device. It releases the copper in the uterus slowly to prevent pregnancy. It is a cost effective option for females and can be used for up to 10 years. It may be an alternative option of hormonal IUD.

  • It can be easily removed if you planned to get pregnant
  • Its success rate is about 99%
  • No need to take birth control pills 
  • Any medications do not alter its working
  • Pregnancy can delay and avoid for many years

How Does Intrauterine Device Work?

The copper and hormonal IUDs working are the same in preventing pregnancy. It is because the releasing of hormones inhibits sperm from reaching the uterus.

Procedure of Intrauterine Device Placement

  • Now the doctor will open up your vagina with the use of the speculum.
  • Sterilized packet of the IUD is carefully inserted into the uterus.
  • After placing it properly, its strings get trimmed to an appropriate length. It is because a woman can check its presence and it can be easily removed in future.
  • After the Procedure

Women can feel mild discomfort, pain and with light bleeding and spotting which remain for a while and go away in a short duration. A healthcare expert will avoid intercourse for a few days and follow up regular check-ups to make sure that the IUD is properly placed.
