If you ask a few of your friends what type of birth control they\u2019re using, there is a good chance that someone is probably using an IUD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though IUD use is on the rise, this wasn\u2019t always the case. IUDs might still bring to mind some well-deserved bad press; there was one particular form of IUD called the Dalkon Shield that caused a number of serious health issues in the 1970s before being taken off the market. And for a long time, healthcare providers wouldn\u2019t recommend the devices to women who were younger, who hadn\u2019t yet had children, or who were not in a monogamous relationship. But we now know that the IUDs on the market today are a safe, effective, and long-lasting form of birth control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>IUD basics<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An IUD is a T-shaped plastic device that is placed in the uterus by a healthcare provider. IUDs work by either preventing sperm and egg from meeting or by keeping the fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus once they do. There are two main types of IUDs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Progestin-based IUDs<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Brand names: Mirena, Liletta, Skyla, Kyleena<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hormonal IUDs use progestin (the same hormone used in the pill to prevent conception), and each of the four different types include different doses of hormones. Depending on the type, progestin-based IUDs can last either up to 3 years (Skyla), 5 years (Liletta and Kyleena), or 8 years (Mirena) without needing to be changed, and they can be removed at any time. These IUDs can have some hormonal side-effects, including acne, breast tenderness, and changes in menstruation that can include changes in menstrual flow, cramping during periods, and spotting between periods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Copper-based IUDs<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Brand name: Paragard<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Paragard IUD is different in that it\u2019s the only <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oviahealth.com\/guide\/111943\/par-health-birth-spacing-pros-cons-copper-iud\/\">copper-based IUD<\/a> available in the U.S.; the small plastic T-shaped device is wrapped in a bit of copper wire. It lasts for up to 10 years without needing to be replaced, and it can be removed at any time. The most reported side effects are&nbsp; heavier periods and cramping..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>IUD benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One major benefit is that IUDs are 99% effective. This means that fewer than 1 in 100 people who use an IUD as birth control will get pregnant each year. If you compare this to other birth control methods, it is extremely effective; the birth control pill is 91-93% effective with typical use, condoms are 85% effective, and the pull out method is 78% effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An IUD is also extremely low-maintenance. Once one has been placed, it\u2019s effective for years without you having to do anything to maintain it. And, it can be removed at any time and you can potentially become pregnant right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is an IUD right for Y-O-U?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Because there are a variety of IUD options, an IUD might be a good fit for you. For example, Mirena is recommended to help treat heavy and painful periods and may help with bleeding caused by endometriosis and fibroids. Liletta recently came out with a new inserter, which may make insertion more comfortable. And Paragard might be a good fit for people who desire non-hormonal birth control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should also know that IUDs have been associated with an increased risk of pelvic infections, especially for women with more than one sexual partner. And they do not protect against STIs, so you\u2019ll want to use other methods of protection, such as condoms, to stay safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.acog.org\/news\/news-releases\/2025\/05\/acog-releases-new-recommendations-on-pain-management-for-iud-insertions-other-in-office-gynecologic-procedures\">Updates in guidelines<\/a> for insertion have changed too. That means you should expect a conversation about the insertion of your IUD and different medications that your provider and you can choose from to keep you comfortable and pain free.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oviahealth.com\/guide\/251431\/the-best-birth-control-for-you\/\">birth control options<\/a> out there \u2013 and a variety of IUD options \u2013 so if you have questions about if an IUD is right for you, be sure to talk to your healthcare provider to learn more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Reviewed by the Ovia Health Clinical Team<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sources<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u201cLong-Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC): IUD and Implant.\u201d <em>ACOG. <\/em>Practice Bulletin 184 from The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, 2017.
