Intrauterine devices actually lie under a contraceptive class, and perhaps they are highest efficacy and least invasive form of the birth control. Rumors continue that there was a gold ring in the uterus of Cleopatra and that allows her to get prevented from the pregnancy and offer her a healthy and active love life. And it is also said that the camel drivers in the same era use to put small rocks in the uteruses of their camels for preventing their camels from pregnancy on the long roads they’ve traveled. Maybe they are nothing more than pretty good stories, but for those women seeking methods to stop their pregnancy can prefer IUDs. IUDs are absolutely simple, high effective, reversible, affordable and have a least impact on primary physiological processes.
The Modern IUDs started to gain popularity in the early 1960s, when the Lippes Loop was introduced and during that period, about 10% of women using contraceptives prefer choosing this method. You can still found Lippes Loops all across the globe except in the U.S. At present, there are very few IUDs available in the U.S. and the main reason behind is that the manufactures of today don’t want to take even a single chance over a device that has once become so out of favor. IUDs enables the menstrual flow to turn out much heavier and increases cramping. However, this method requiring no mess or loss of spontaneity is for those women who are with light or moderate menses, and it’s possible to prefer IUDs for the years without losing the efficacy. Women with monogamous relationships that are not inside the risky circle of any sexually transmitted infections and already have given birth are the prefect nominees for preferring IUD, but their period should also be normal.
At present, the latest IUD called Mirena has been introduced as the exception of the earlier believe that IUDs are responsible for increasing the amount of menstrual flow as well as cramping. It gains ability to diminish the normal flow by 80% and results in lack of menses in about 15% of patients. Most women preferring Mirena report just light cramping and nothing more than that.
