The IUD stands for
Intrauterine Device. It is a small T-shaped device, which is made of flexible
plastic material. A doctor inserts IUD into a woman’s uterus to prevent
unwanted pregnancy. The IUD device prevents sperm to meet with an egg. If there
is no fertilization, there will not be any conception.
IUDs are very effective
in preventing unwanted pregnancy. However, it is important to note that IUDs
cannot prevent a person from STD (Sexually Transmitted Disease) infections. So,
if a person is having multiple partners then other methods need to be used to
prevent STDs.
Soon after an IUD is
placed inside the uterus, she can indulge in any sexual activity. Once a woman
gets her IUD, she needs to consult with a doctor after her first period. This
checkup is important to ensure that the IUD is placed properly. IUDs can be
replaced or removed anytime; the procedure is very simple. Visit a hospital and
the health care provider will remove or change IUD. However, women should never
try removing IUDs of their own.
