Copper IUD: Up to 10 Years of Worry-Free Contraception
The copper IUD is a reliable, hormone-free choice for long-term contraception. It provides protection for up to 10 years by releasing copper ions, which create an environment that makes it difficult for sperm to survive, thereby significantly reducing the chance of pregnancy. The copper IUD is an excellent option for women seeking effective and long-lasting contraception without hormones.
Benefits of the Copper IUD
The copper IUD offers hassle-free, hormone-free contraception that requires no daily maintenance. It’s ideal for women who prefer a natural, hormone-free method. With an extremely low risk of pregnancy, it provides long-term protection while allowing your natural menstrual cycle to continue unchanged. This makes it an appealing option for many women looking for a reliable and hormone-free contraceptive method.
Are you dreading the IUD placement?
Before an IUD can be placed in the uterus, it’s important that the uterus is positioned correctly. This is usually done with a tenaculum, but it can also be done with the Carevix.
The Carevix works with a soft, nearly painless vacuum. By placing the suction cup on the cervix and creating a vacuum, the uterus can be gently moved into the right position.
Once the IUD is in place, the vacuum is released. This is also painless.
With placement using Carevix, women experience up to 73% less pain compared to placement with the tenaculum.*
