AKURAT.CO, Currently there are many contraceptives that you and your partner can use to delay pregnancy. One of them, namely the IUD KB.
KB IUD is a contraceptive made of plastic that has a shape like the letter ‘T’ and is installed in the uterus to prevent pregnancy.
IUD stands for intrauterine device or it can also be known as spiral KB. KB IUD is divided into two types, namely the non-hormonal IUD.
Although both are IUD contraception, the two types of spiral contraception have different ways of working in preventing pregnancy.
Reporting from the Kids Health page, the non-hormonal IUD is a copper-coated spiral contraceptive.
The function of the non-hormonal IUD is to help prevent pregnancy by blocking sperm cells from entering the channel between the uterus and the ovaries.
This non-hormonal IUD contraceptive prevents sperm cells from meeting the egg for fertilization. As a result, the egg becomes difficult to be fertilized in the uterus.
Meanwhile, hormonal IUD contraceptives, spiral contraceptives, contain synthetic progesterone.
The use of this IUD contraception can cause cervical mucus to thicken and make it difficult for sperm to swim in the uterus.
This of course can stop the release of eggs (ovulation) and prevent sperm cells from fertilizing the egg.
However, this type of spiral birth control can also reduce menstrual blood flow which often causes pain or more commonly known as dysmenorrhea.
When compared with other contraceptives, such as birth control pills.
The IUD is a contraceptive that is much more effective and easier to use.
The reason is, you don’t have to bother remembering the schedule for taking birth control pills regularly, changing tools or buying drugs when they run out.
The ability of this spiral KB to last for a long period of time certainly saves time and energy, especially for those of you who feel less painstaking about taking family planning drugs according to the schedule every day.
This advantage is one of the reasons that makes the IUD the most effective contraceptive, compared to other contraceptives.
The IUD is a safe contraceptive for breastfeeding mothers, and it doesn’t even have the side effects of increasing weight like the side of birth control pills.
Even the use of this IUD can also help you reduce the risk of cervical cancer and uterine cancer.[]
