Long-lasting birth control brings both freedom and reliability. IUD insertion gives patients a simple way to protect their reproductive health for years.
At Rosh Maternal & Fetal Medicine, we present advanced contraceptive options in a welcoming setting so patients can feel confident in their decisions. Our team works closely with each individual to discuss goals, answer questions, and recommend a method that fits their lifestyle.
IUD Insertion: What to Expect
IUD insertion involves placing a small, T-shaped device inside the uterus during a brief office visit. Our providers perform the procedure with gentle technique and attention to comfort. Most appointments are short, and patients can return to normal activities soon after.
Two main types of IUDs are available
- Hormonal IUDs: Release a small amount of progestin to prevent pregnancy and may reduce menstrual bleeding and cramps.
- Copper IUDs: Use copper to prevent pregnancy and contain no hormones.
Both options deliver highly effective protection and last for several years, depending on the type selected.
What Is an IUD?
An intrauterine device (IUD) is a small contraceptive device placed inside the uterus to prevent pregnancy. A thin string extends into the vaginal canal so a provider can remove the device when needed.
IUDs rank among the most reliable birth control options available. Many patients choose them because they require little maintenance and provide long-term protection. Once placed, the device works continuously without daily pills or frequent appointments.
Why Choose an IUD?
IUDs present several advantages for patients who want dependable contraception.
- Long-term protection: Many IUDs last between three and ten years, depending on the type.
- High effectiveness: IUDs rank among the most effective reversible birth control methods available.
- Low maintenance: Patients do not need to remember to take a daily pill or to refill monthly.
- Hormone-free option: Copper IUDs deliver birth control without hormones for those who prefer a non-hormonal method.
- Potential menstrual benefits: Hormonal IUDs often reduce cramping and bleeding over time.
IUD Removal
IUD removal takes only a few minutes during a routine office visit. Our providers gently pull the string to remove the device from the uterus. Most patients experience minimal discomfort during removal.
Patients may request removal at any time, especially when they plan for pregnancy or want to switch birth control methods. Fertility usually returns quickly after removal.
