8 lis 2021 · Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are long-acting, reversible, highly effective methods of contraception. In the UK there are two types of IUD available: copper IUDs (Cu-IUDs) and levonorgestrel-releasing IUDs (LNG-IUDs). All Cu-IUDs in the UK have a copper surface area ≥300 mm2.
• You can use the copper IUD while breastfeeding. • The copper IUD costs less over time than most types of birth control. • The copper IUD is a great option for people who prefer a method without hormones.
Cu-IUDs can be used for contraception for 5 or 10 years (device dependent). If a Cu-IUD with a copper surface area ≥300 mm2 is inserted when the individual is ≥40 years old, the FSRH supports extended use of the device, and the Cu-IUD can be used for contraception until menopause.
