 What you need to know about IUD and IUS?                                                  

What is an IUD/IUS?

The coil, also known as an Intra-Uterine Device (IUD) or an Intra Uterine System (IUS), is a small, T-shaped device made of either plastic or copper that is inserted into the uterus and used as a form of contraception.

 It inhibits the sperm of the male from accessing the egg, making your uterus unsuitable for conception. One of the most effective contraceptives is the IUD. It has a ten-year lifespan. You have the option of removing the IUD from the doctor at any time. As a result, you'll be able to conceive again right away.

IUDs/IUS is an excellent contraceptive option for couples who wish to put off having a child for a few years or who don't want any more children. The IUD is a hormone-free form of contraception. The most frequent IUD adverse effect is painful and prolonged menses, which may return to normal after a few months.

The main difference between the IUD and the IUS is that (IUD) releases copper and (IUS) releases hormones.

Both are inserted by a doctor or nurse and last anywhere between three to ten years, depending on which type or brand you get. It can easily be removed at any time.




How does IUD/IUS work?

Both the IUD and the IUS work in similar ways to prevent pregnancy.

IUD

The IUD is a copper coil that prevents pregnancy by stopping sperm from reaching the egg by releasing tiny amounts of copper into the body, which is toxic to sperm and eggs. The sperm dies in a copper-rich environment, and the egg can’t move properly. The copper alters the cervical mucus, meaning it changes the make-up of fluid in the womb and fallopian tubes, preventing the sperm from fertilizing the egg. The copper coil can also delay the egg from reaching the womb and prevent the egg from implanting in the womb.

IUS

The IUS is a hormonal coil that prevents pregnancy by releasing the hormone progestogen into the womb to thicken the cervical mucus and prevent sperm from meeting the egg. The coil can also delay the egg from reaching the womb and prevent the egg from implanting in the womb. The IUS can also stop ovulation for some people, while for others ovulation will continue as usual.

During sex, most men will not be able to feel easy with IUD or IUS, however, the strings will soften over time. Some women may have more discharge blood, but this is not dangerous. Very rarely the IUD may fall out in the first few months of use if this happens contact your doctor immediately. As you're not protected from pregnancy the IUD and IUS do not protect against HIV or other sexually transmitted diseases. So if you're worried about this, use a condom at the same time.

Just to clear up some myths the IUD or IUS does not move around your body it can't swim and doesn't have legs, it sits inside your womb as a baby would during pregnancy, and just as the baby doesn't move anywhere except out when it's ready to be born. The IUD can't either unless it's removed by a provider.
