Intrauterine Devices (IUDs):

Intrauterine devices are molded from plastic and inserted into the uterus through the vagina. After the T-shaped device is inserted, a plastic string remains so the female may check its placement [6]. There are two different types of protection to select – either releasing progestin or copper. The first kind of IUD releases copper from a copper wire wrapped around the base and lasts for ten years. The other type releases progestin and is effective for five years.
