What Is an IUD?
An IUD is a small, T-shaped device that is inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy. There are two main types:
- Hormonal IUDs, which release a small amount of hormone to prevent fertilization.
- Non-hormonal (copper) IUDs, which create an environment that is toxic to sperm.
Both types offer long-term protection ranging from 3 to 10 years, depending on the device.

IUDs are an excellent option for women seeking:
