What is IUD ?
An intrauterine device (IUD) is a small device that your doctor inserts into your uterus to prevent pregnancy. Many people suffer from IUD side effects, especially in the first weeks and months after implantation.
There are two types of spirals. One secretes hormones and the other contains copper. The hormone secretion coil releases the synthetic hormone progestin, while the copper option prevents sperm from fertilizing an egg.
In addition to contraception, an IUS can help reduce painful or heavy menstrual bleeding.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved her IUD as a safe contraceptive, but some people experience nasty side effects. In this article, learn about the side effects of each type of her IUD and when to see a doctor.
Most IUD side effects occur within the first few months after the IUD is inserted.
Some ways to treat side effects are:
- Take an over-the-counter (OTC) pain reliever such as ibuprofen, acetaminophen, or naproxen to relieve pain.
- Apply warm, moist heat to the pelvis just below the navel to relieve cramps and discomfort.
- Wear loose, comfortable clothing during IUD insertion and for the first few days after surgery.
- Wear panty liners or pads to absorb excess blood or stains.
