The IUD is an artificial method of birth control. Some IUDs are hormonal, and others are non-hormonal.
If you're using a hormonal IUD then yes, it can cause irregular bleeds. As hormonal birth control stops your menstrual cycles in order to stop ovulation it can stop menstruation, instead you can experience withdrawal bleeds and it is normal for these to be a little irregular.
Yes, a hormonal IUD can reduce vaginal moisture - a copper IUD will not. This is common across all forms of hormonal birth control, vaginal dryness is a common side-effect.
An IUD can be left in for years without causing problems. A hormonal IUD will lose effectiveness, though.
10 year IUD is better, it's less hormonal. The 5 year IUD makes ou gain weight because you rarely get our period with the 5 year IUD
An expired hormonal IUD may not prevent pregnancy effectively. Other than that, an IUD past its life span does not affect the body.
If you continue the hormonal IUD past its useful life, you may be at risk of pregnancy. There are no other side effects from leaving an IUD in the uterus.
If your hormonal IUD is past its useful life, you may not have complete protection. The copper IUD may continue to provide protection. Other than that, there are no special dangers in leaving an expired IUD in the uterus.
The copper and hormonal IUDs are equally safe in terms of side effects and pregnancy risk. You can choose based on your preference for continuing your current pattern of menstruation, or choosing no periods with the hormonal IUD.
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.
There are no health consequences to leaving the IUD in longer than five years, but a hormonal IUD may not be effective past its useful life span.
Hormonal IUD is an effective contraceptive method. The IUD (levonorgestrel intrauterine device) is a hormonal method. It is a small, T-shaped piece of plastic. The IUD is put into the uterus. Once there, it makes the lining of the uterus thinner and thickens the mucus of the cervix. This prevents the sperm from fertilizing the egg. IUDs offer 3, 4 or 5 years of protection (depending on the type). If you want to get pregnant, you can have the IUD removed. IUD are one of the most effective methods. 99 in every 100 individuals using this method will manage to prevent pregnancy. To know more visit findmymethod.org website.
