Hormonal IUD: Up to 8 Years of Worry-Free Contraception
The hormonal IUD is an excellent choice for long-term contraception with additional benefits. It provides protection for 5 to 8 years by releasing a steady, low dose of hormones. These hormones suppress ovulation and thin the uterine lining, significantly reducing the chance of pregnancy. In addition, the hormonal IUD can help relieve menstrual pain and reduce menstrual bleeding, contributing to a more comfortable and balanced lifestyle.
Benefits of the Hormonal IUD
The hormonal IUD offers reliable, maintenance-free contraception. Beyond preventing pregnancy, it can also help regulate your menstrual cycle and reduce menstrual discomfort. This makes it an attractive option for many women looking for long-term, effective protection with added health benefits.
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.*
