IUDs

IUDs Types

IUDs

As a woman, it is always wise to discuss your family planning options with your husband or partner. 

Family planning discussion will give you an idea about where you both stand on having kids. 

Moreover, if in this discussion you decide not to have kids for a few years, you can explore your birth control options. 

One of the most popular birth control options that women choose is Intra-Uterine devices (IUDs). This is the most effective birth control option that will last for about 12 years. 

But there is a major myth associated with IUDs. Some women think if they get IUDs, they will be choosing IUD for abortion

But the truth is far from that. IUDs do not prevent pregnancy by causing abortion.  

Instead, they prevent the pregnancy by either killing the sperms that enter the uterus or prevent the egg release from the ovary. This reduces the chances of fertilization to minuscule levels.

So, no fertilization, no pregnancy!

Now that we have got this myth busted, let us tell you about the two categories of IUDs you can choose from.

  • Non-Hormonal IUDs: In this category, a plastic T-shaped structure is wrapped with copper around it, hence copper IUDs.

Sperms hate copper because it changes the way they can swim thus preventing its meet with the egg. No fertilization, no pregnancy! 

  • Hormonal IUDs: In this category, a plastic T-shaped structure releases the hormone progestin in your body. 

Progestin is very much like natural progesterone released in your body. Hormonal IUDs prevent pregnancy in two ways.

These IUDs make the mucus of your cervix thicker making the entry of sperms difficult. Or else, they prevent the release of the egg from the ovary. 

Again, no fertilization, no pregnancy!
