Facts
- A plastic or metal device that is inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy.
- The IUD is not noticeable during intercourse.
- A woman can make sure the IUD is in place by feeling for the string in her vagina.
- When an IUD is coated with progesterone, the hormone works to prevent ovulation (the release of an egg during the monthly cycle) and thicken the cervical mucus, which prevents sperm from entering the uterus.
- An IUD/IUS (intrauterine device or intrauterine system) is a small plastic device that is inserted into your uterus by a trained doctor or health care provider.
