IUCD Pacement

What is an IUCD?

An IUCD, also known as an Intrauterine Device (IUD), is a small, T-shaped device inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy. It is a popular choice for women seeking a reversible and long-lasting contraceptive method.

The IUCD Procedure

The IUCD insertion is a straightforward procedure performed by our experienced healthcare providers:

Consultation: We begin with a thorough consultation to discuss your medical history, preferences, and any concerns.
Preparation: A pelvic examination is conducted to assess the position and size of your uterus.
Insertion: The IUCD is carefully inserted into the uterus using a specialized applicator. The procedure typically takes only a few minutes.
Follow-Up: We schedule follow-up appointments to ensure the IUCD is properly positioned and to address any questions you may have.

Insertion can be done at any time during your menstrual cycle, provided you are not pregnant. Some women may experience mild discomfort during the procedure, but this is usually brief.

Types of IUCDs

Copper IUCD

This non-hormonal device releases copper ions that are toxic to sperm, preventing fertilization. Copper IUCDs are more than 99% effective and can last up to 10 years, depending on the type.

Hormonal IUCD

This device releases a small amount of progestin hormone, thickening cervical mucus to block sperm and sometimes suppressing ovulation. Hormonal IUCDs are also highly effective and can last between 5 to 8 years, depending on the specific product.

IUCD Kits

We utilize sterile IUCD kits for each procedure, ensuring the highest standards of hygiene and safety.

Misplaced IUCDs

While rare, an IUCD can become misplaced, leading to symptoms such as unusual bleeding, pain, or missing strings. If you suspect a misplaced IUCD, it’s crucial to seek medical attention promptly. Our clinic is equipped to diagnose and manage such situations effectively.

IUCDs and Pregnancy

Although IUCDs are highly effective, no contraceptive method is 100% foolproof. If a woman becomes pregnant with an IUCD in place, there is an increased risk of miscarriage and preterm delivery. It’s essential to consult with a healthcare provider immediately if pregnancy occurs with an IUCD.
