Intrauterine Device – IUD
For your life plan, use a safe and effective contraceptive method.
What is it?
The Copper T is the most well-known Intrauterine Device (IUD). It’s a highly effective contraceptive method that provides protection for up to 12 years, although a woman can request its removal at any time, immediately restoring her fertility. It’s an ideal method for women who wish to delay or space out pregnancies over a long period.
Since the Copper T is made of plastic and copper, it’s recommended for women who should avoid hormonal methods.
This device is thin and T-shaped, and it must be inserted into the uterus by a qualified healthcare professional. Once inserted, it works on its own, making it the most cost-effective method, as it doesn’t require recurring expenses.
There are also hormonal IUDs, which contain one of the two main hormones normally produced by the ovaries. These are called hormonal intrauterine devices or endocervical systems.
Available products:
- Copper T:
A plastic device that also contains copper. It provides contraceptive protection for up to 12 years without any hormonal load. Its contraceptive effect works by reducing the viability and motility of sperm, preventing them from reaching the egg and thus avoiding fertilization and pregnancy. - Hormonal Intrauterine Device (IUD) or Endocervical Device:
A T-shaped plastic device that contains a hormonal compound inside. It causes changes in the uterus that weaken sperm, preventing them from meeting the egg. Additionally, it helps reduce menstrual bleeding and alleviates menstrual pain in women who usually experience it.
