The IUD is a flexible plastic intrauterine device that can protect you from an unwanted pregnancy. Usually it has the shape of the letter T, but it can also be in the shape of the letter U, double S, spherical, like a ball or cylindrical. Great attention! The device can only be mounted by the gynecologist, deep enough in the uterus, so that the penis cannot reach it and, therefore, it does not cause any discomfort during sexual intercourse, neither for the woman nor for the man. The mounting maneuver is simple and painless. The device is equipped with some control threads that reach the level of the vagina and that allow the doctor to make sure that it is in the correct position or to remove it.
It is important to note that the IUD cannot be fitted or worn by anyone. Before its installation, the gynecologist makes sure that the patient has no damage to the cervix, does not suffer from uterine neoplasia or pelvic inflammatory disease, is not pregnant, and the uterus has no malformations. At the same time, the patient must not be allergic to copper or have coagulopathy. In these cases, fitting the IUD is absolutely contraindicated. There are also situations where the contraindication is relative or temporary: vaginitis, unbalanced diabetes, use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), uterine scars, valvular heart disease, age younger than 20 or older than 45. However, the IUD protects you from an unwanted pregnancy, but not from sexually transmitted diseases
