How Convenient Is It To Use An IUD To Prevent Pregnancy?

According to several sources an IUD or an intrauterine device was introduced for the first time in in it’s current from in the 1970s and as an effective protection against the risk of pregnancy it became popular almost immediately. However, since introduction of the combined oral contraceptive pills, there has been a sharp decline in popularity of this birth control method. The current reports suggest that almost 4% of the entire adult female population in the UK use an IUD or an intrauterine device as an effective birth control method and globally this number is around120 million. Quite in contradiction to the current notion that an IUD functions by releasing synthetic oestrogen and progestogen hormones in a woman’s body to reduce the risk of pregnancy, it actually releases copper in a user’s body and makes the necessary changes that would stop sperm from entering the womb.

Despite the fact that an IUD coil doesn’t use synthetic hormones, quite similar to the natural ones that your body produces to protect you from unwanted pregnancy, the copper delivered by it works in a similar way to synthetic progestogen. Synthetic progestrogen cannot stop ovulation or release of an egg from the ovary but it can introduce necessary changes in the womb environment by thickening cervix fluid (the mucous at the neck of the cervix) and changing the womb lining. The copper performs the same changes in a woman’s body. It has been clinically proven that a contraceptive copper coil is almost 100% safe. However, when it comes to use the coil, you need to make sure that it is properly fitted and due to this reason a specially trained doctor or nurse should complete the process. In some cases a woman’s womb size may not be fitting enough for the coil. Due to this reason your physician may perform a couple of tests to find out whether the device would suit you or not.

• Effective protection against unwanted conceptive immediately


• Completely reliable when it comes to enjoying long-lasting contraceptive cover


• Once your physician removes it, your fertility should return to normal


• Relief from taking oral contraceptive on a regular basis


• You will experience your menstrual cycles normally


• Complications from serious side effects reduce considerably as the contraceptive coil doesn’t contain any hormones


• If you have any underlying health conditions it is less unlikely that you would experience any problem while using a copper coil compared to a hormonal contraceptive pill

It is easy to get a contraceptive coil fitted properly in your womb with the help of an expert physician and it doesn’t take more than 15 to 20 minutes to do so. The coil is inserted in a woman’s body with the help of a medial instrument. To make the entire process an easy one the coil can be folded like a drinking straw. The straw-like structure is then inserted in the vagina and the coil is ejected and it is left in a manner that allows the coil fit perfectly. The entire process has often been considered painful for many women who have opted for it; however, compared to the benefits, taking this much of risk may not be such a bad idea after all. You may order your pill from any online clinic in the UK, where you can get information on this contraceptive device and other methods.
