IUCD Insertion in Bhubaneswar

An intrauterine device (IUD) is a long-acting, reversible contraception (LARC) method in which a medical professional implants a T-shaped plastic device into the uterus. It's one of the most popular forms of LARC. To prevent pregnancy, this device either releases hormones or puts up a physical barrier. Once inserted, it provides effective birth control for several years, typically three to ten, depending on the type. IUDs and contraceptive implants are highly effective non-surgical birth control methods. If you decide to become pregnant, your healthcare provider can remove the IUD. It's important to note that while IUDs and condoms can prevent pregnancy, only condoms can protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). With the best obstetrician doctors, we offer you the best IUCD insertion in Bhubaneswar.

FAQ's

Intrauterine devices (IUDs) come in two varieties: hormonal IUDs and copper IUDs. In all versions, the plastic frames are inserted into the uterus and take the shape of a T. Every IUD has strings that reach into the vagina, allowing medical professionals to remove the device when needed. When the user or a healthcare professional requests it, these strings monitor and assist with the implantation and removal of the IUD.

After birth control tablets, IUDs are the second most popular reversible birth control option worldwide. IUDs are chosen by about 23% of women and people using contraception, which is a reflection of their appeal and effectiveness in avoiding unwanted births. This preference reflects the broad acceptance and confidence that people of reproductive age have around the world for IUDs as a practical and reliable form of birth control.

An IUD shouldn't be used if:

  • You are  pregnant.

  • You have an active sexually transmitted infection (STI).

  • You are regarded as having a high risk of getting an STI.

  • You either have uterine or cervical cancer.

  • Your vaginal bleeding appears to be unrelated.

  • If you have Wilson disease, a hereditary disorder that causes copper to build up in the body, or if you have a copper allergy, you should not use copper IUDs.

  • If you have breast cancer or serious liver illness, you should not use hormonal IUDs. 

  • If you are deemed to be at high risk of developing breast cancer, you shouldn't use them. 

Hormonal and copper IUDs both trigger an immunological reaction that causes uterine inflammation, which makes the environment unfavourable to sperm. IUDs made of copper increase inflammation, which hinders the ability of a fertilised egg to deposit itself in the uterine lining. By thickening cervical mucus, preventing sperm motility, and weakening the uterine lining, hormonal IUDs release, which lowers the chance of fertilisation and implantation. It further prevents conception by partially suppressing ovulation.

Healthcare professionals usually perform a comprehensive medical history evaluation and pelvic exam before an IUD (intrauterine device) installation to make sure the patient is suitable for the surgery. To rule out any contraindications, they might also do testing for pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). To help patients make educated decisions about their contraceptive options, patients may also get counselling regarding the advantages, risks, and possible adverse effects of the IUD. You can reduce your concern about receiving an IUD by being communicative with your provider. 

You will be placed on a table with your legs spread, knees bent, and stirrups to support yourself, just like you would for a Pap smear. To ease any pain or discomfort, anaesthetics may be administered close to your cervix. Your doctor will expand your vagina with a speculum. As your healthcare professional implants the IUD, you can have mild to severe cramping. It takes fifteen minutes or less to insert an IUD. The process can be completed by your physician in an office visit.

Either minor to severe discomfort may be experienced, or you may not notice any adverse effects at all. Just in case, giving yourself some healing time is a good idea. If you can, avoid working the remainder of the day.

  • Feeling faint or lightheaded is possible.

  • Have back pain or cramps.

  • Feel spots or bleeding of light.

If implanted during menstruation, hormonal IUDs offer instant contraception. If placed at other times, their effectiveness might not start for up to a week. It is best to use alternate birth control methods during this time to avoid getting pregnant until the hormonal IUD starts to work as a contraceptive.

IUDs are among the most dependable nonreversible birth control options due to their astounding 99% success rate in preventing pregnancy. IUDs are exceptionally effective long-term contraceptive solutions that offer unsurpassed simplicity and efficacy in avoiding unwanted births, making them stand out alongside contraceptive implants.
