Is a little ‘T’ shaped plastic device with copper round it, which it fitted into the womb by a trained nurse or doctor and then lasts for 5 or 10 years. The fitting is a bit like having a smear test with some period cramps at the same time. It has the advantages of minimal known health risks, no affect on when periods come and is very reliable. The disadvantage is that periods are normally a bit heavier and longer with an IUD. Very rarely women may find it uncomfortable, it may move, or it may be difficult for a doctor or nurse to remove it when needed. SameDayDoctor uses the most reliable devices.
