Intrauterine Device (IUD)

An intrauterine device (IUD) is a small, T-shaped device inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy. It is a long-acting reversible contraceptive that works either by releasing hormones (like progestin) or through a copper-based mechanism that affects sperm mobility and fertilization.
