HEALTH - Intraurin or IUD contraception is one of the many methods of birth control approved by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
"Intraurin is an alternative contraceptive methods is very good to be selected by young women until the 50's" says Julie Strickland, M.D., M.P.H., professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. Here's why:
Totally safe
In the early days of its appearance, the IUD is associated with complications such as fertility problems and pelvic infections. However, it has been passed since 1960. When the IUD was reintroduced, there are some provisions about who is eligible to use intraurin.
"In the 1980s onwards, the World Health Organization has loosened the restrictions. The doctors monitor patients very closely to reduce the risk of pelvic infections caused by IUDs and IUD does not affect fertility after you release it," said Strickland.
The installation may be a bit of a pain, but they can be overcome
Although the process is quick, technically IUD including minor surgical procedures. The doctor uses a speculum to find the cervix, then stretch it and insert the IUD through the cervical canal and set them in the womb. Most women will experience cramping, similar to when they were menstruating.
"Usually, we asked patients taking ibuprofen pain reliever beforehand. In rare cases, we provide anesthesia as you get if you go to the dentist. However, in general it is unnecessary," said Strickland.
There are also prescription medicines that can soften the cervix and makes it easier to expand. However, studies that there are still pros and cons of whether this drug is effective or not.
You can wear them even do not have kids
There are no restrictions based on age or if the woman already has a child or not. IUD insertion is easier for women who have given birth because their cervix has widened.
"However, women who have never given birth and want to use an IUD, of course you can," said Strickland.
detachable
"The IUD is effective only when it is in your body," said Strickland. IUD is shaped like the letter T is flexible, to help adjust to the shape of the uterus and is also excluded. Once out, the hormonal cycle will return to normal.
If you use a non-hormonal IUD, your fertility will be back in about a month. If you are using a hormonal IUD, fertility usually you will go back in time up to three months.
Your partner will not feel
The bottom of the IUD fitted with a string. "As the warmth of the string into the same body temperature, IUD will soften and curl around the cervix. Your partner will not be able to feel it," said Strickland.
However, if you think the IUD bother you or your partner, immediately consult a physician.
IUD can change your menstrual periods
For women with painful menstrual periods, hormonal IUD choice has additional benefits.
Low-dose hormone in the IUD can shorten menstrual periods and reduce cramping. In fact, in some women, the IUD can stop menstruation altogether.
Types of non-hormonal IUD has the potential to induce severe bleeding and pain. But, if you do not fit in with the Pill, non- hormonal IUD is a good choice for you. Plus, the side effects will fade over time.
Very effective
IUDs have a level of more than 99 percent effectiveness. Compare this with the failure rate of the pill, which if you do not drink it according to the provisions, the risk of pregnancy will increase the risk of pregnant nine percent.
"In contrast to the pills that require you to be disciplined and not to forget every day, after IUD insertion, a woman does not need to do anything else to prevent pregnancy," said Strickland.
