Additional Information for Contraceptive Intrauterine Device
Contraceptive Intrauterine Devices (IUDs) are a type of birth control method that is inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy. They are classified under the supply class "Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies" in the supply group "Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies."
IUDs are small, T-shaped devices made of flexible plastic or copper. They are inserted into the uterus by a healthcare professional and can provide long-term contraception for several years, depending on the type of IUD.
There are two main types of IUDs:
1. Hormonal IUDs: These IUDs release a small amount of progestin hormone into the uterus, which thickens the cervical mucus, making it difficult for sperm to reach the egg. Hormonal IUDs can also thin the lining of the uterus, making it less receptive to implantation. They are effective for 3-5 years, depending on the brand.
2. Copper IUDs: These IUDs do not contain hormones. Instead, they have a copper wire wrapped around the stem of the device. The copper ions released by the IUD create an environment that is toxic to sperm, preventing fertilization. Copper IUDs can be effective for up to 10 years.
IUDs are considered to be highly effective forms of contraception, with a failure rate of less than 1%. They are reversible, meaning that fertility returns quickly after removal.
It is important to note that IUDs should be inserted and removed by a healthcare professional. They require a prescription and a medical examination to ensure they are suitable for the individual. Additionally, IUDs do not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs), so it is recommended to use barrier methods, such as condoms, in addition to an IUD for STI prevention.
Please consult with a healthcare professional for more information and guidance on the use of contraceptive intrauterine devices.
