Types of intrauterine device
There are several types of intrauterine devices, because they have different purposes:
- For the purpose of contraception (spirals with silver, copper or gold thread).
- For therapeutic and contraceptive purposes (Jaides and Mirena systems containing the hormone). They have high therapeutic effectiveness.
Pay attention! The choice of the intrauterine device, its insertion and removal is carried out only by a doctor! The installation of the intrauterine device involves regular preventive examinations.
Advantages and disadvantages of the intrauterine device
The advantage is the lack of daily monitoring (compared to birth control pills or other medications).
Disadvantages of the intrauterine device:
- frequent change of partners increases the risk of inflammatory changes and ascending infection (inflammation of the uterus, appendages, fallopian tubes and, as a result, an increased risk of ectopic pregnancies);
- risk of spiral displacement (expulsions) with significant physical exertion (as a result – unwanted pregnancy).
