Intrauterine device/contraceptive

The 2 types are a hormonal IUD or copper IUD.

It is a T-shaped device that is inserted through the cervix and placed in the uterus. It releases a chemical substance that damages sperm in transit to the uterine tubes and prevents fertilization.

Contraindications: active pelvic disease, abnormal uterine bleeding, severe uterine distortion, and for the copper IUD patients with Wilson’s disease and copper allergies.
