Benefits of Using an IUD
The IUD, or Intrauterine Device is a highly effective form of birth control. As with all forms of birth control, there are both risks and benefits associated with using the IUD. There are two kinds of IUD: copper and hormonal. Each of these IUDs has their own individual set of benefits as well as risks. You can schedule an appointment with your doctor to see if either type of IUD will work for you.

Common Benefits
Both the copper and the hormonal IUD are proven to be more than 99% effective at preventing pregnancy. The IUD is also a low maintenance, long term contraceptive option that is easily reversible should you want to get pregnant or simply stop using it.
Other benefits that both IUDs share are:
• Cost effective over time
• Ease of use, since it is inserted by your doctor in office and position checked once per month by patient
• Reduced risk of ectopic pregnancy
• No interruption to sexual spontaneity
• Effective for 5 (hormonal) to 10 (copper) years
• Can be removed by physician when desired
• Able to get pregnant quickly after removal
• Can be inserted after childbirth once the uterus returns to normal size
• Some studies indicate a reduction in risk of uterine and cervical cancer

Copper IUD
The copper IUD has been shown to be associated with a reduction in endometrial cancer. This type of IUD can be a good, long term option for women seeking to avoid hormonal birth control, including breastfeeding women. Women who have had bad experiences with oral contraceptives or other forms of birth control that rely on hormonal changes may find the copper IUD to be especially easy to tolerate.

Hormonal IUD
The hormonal IUD contains a synthetic form of progesterone. It carries its own unique set of benefits.
• Reduces excessive menstrual bleeding by 90% on average
• Can treat anemia (by reducing menstrual flow)
• In many women reduces menstrual cramps and discomfort
• For some women menstrual periods cease completely
• Relieves endometriosis
• Has successfully been used in hormone replacement therapy
• Has been utilized to prevent hysterectomy in women with extreme bleeding problems
• Treating endometrial hyperplasia, an overgrowth of the endometrial lining
In addition to being a highly effective form of birth control, doctors are beginning to find more and more benefits that go beyond contraception. While the IUD is not currently approved to be used for some of the other benefits outside of pregnancy prevention within the US (it is approved in many other countries), it can be used for contraception first with any of the added benefits listed above.
