An IUD/intrauterine device is a small, plastic, T-shaped device that is placed into the uterus by a trained professional, as a form of birth control. An IUD is a long-term, yet reversible, form of contraception, which means that you can have it removed anytime you want. In simple terms, an IUD helps prevent the sperm from fertilizing the egg. IUDs are one of the most functional forms of reversible contraception and can last between five and 10 years. Insertion of an IUD can take place at any time during the menstruation cycle, given the woman is not pregnant.
Typically, there are two types of IUDs: copper IUDs and hormonal IUDs. The copper IUD is wrapped in copper, creating a hostile environment for the sperm by affecting its mobility. The hormone-releasing IUD administers the hormone progestin, which also creates a barrier to sperm penetration. According to the Planned Parenthood website, copper IUDs are the most effective form of emergency contraception available. You can get it within five days of having unprotected sex, and it is 99.9% effective at preventing pregnancy.
A nurse or doctor can insert an intrauterine device. The procedure goes as follows:
