The IUD is safe and effective in women who have not given birth. There may be a bit more cramping during insertion for a woman who has not had a vaginal delivery.
Whether birth control or IUD is easier depends wholly on what you think. Taking birth control might be easier for some people, if they can remember to take a pill daily.
IUD insertion is a form of birth control available to people looking to avoid getting pregnant. The most common type of IUD is a copper IUD which acts as a spermicide when in the uterus.
No, an IUD can't be inserted right after birth, but can be inserted around the 6 week postpartum exam.
An IUD is a choice of birth control.... I dont think you take antibiotics for birth control... you take antibiotics for infections.
The IUD is an artificial method of birth control. Some IUDs are hormonal, and others are non-hormonal.
Birth Control pills, ring, patch, DepoProvera and the IUD are not barriers.
Any woman interested in a long-term, reversible, highly effective method of birth control can get an IUD. There are two on the market in the US right now, and they have some differences in mode of action and patient selection criteria. In general, a woman who is a good candidate for an IUD has no allergies to the components of the IUD, and has a uterus long enough to accommodate the device.
Abstinence then IUD.
Immediately.
While the hormonal IUD can't be relied on for birth control after its removal date, there is no harm in leaving the IUD in place after its removal date.
IUD stands for "intrauterine device" which is a structure placed into the uterus, most commonly to provide birth control.
The Mirena IUD contains levonorgestrel. This is the same hormone found in many birth control pills and morning after pills.
