Iud Intrauterine Device
An intrauterine device (IUD) is a type of long-acting reversible contraceptive that consists of a small T-shaped plastic or copper device inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy. IUDs work primarily by preventing fertilized eggs from implanting in the uterus and have an effective use period of 3 to 10 years, depending on the specific type. They are highly effective, with failure rates as low as 0.6% per year, and can also provide additional health benefits like light menstrual bleeding or potential hormonal variations to aid menstruation relief. Safety measures, regular checks with healthcare providers, and proper insertion techniques are essential for successful use.
