What is an IUD?

IUD is an abbreviation for Intrauterine Device. This is a little T-shaped device that is implanted within the uterus by a professional. Copper is discharged from these devices, causing the cervical mucus to change. This makes it harder for the sperm to access the egg and survive. It can also prevent a fertilized egg from implanting itself. It is a reversible, long-acting kind of contraception. If you want to start a family, you can have it removed and your fertility restored. IUD's do not protect against STI transmissions.
