What is an Intrauterine Device (IUD)/Cu T?

3-Year CU-T IUD

This IUD is effective for 3 years. It is a good option for women who prefer shorter-term contraception.

5-Year CU-T IUD

This IUD offers 5 years of protection against pregnancy, making it a popular choice for women who want long-term contraception without the need for regular visits to a healthcare provider.

10-Year CU-T IUD

This IUD is ideal for women looking for long-lasting contraception, as it protects for up to 10 years. It is highly effective and convenient for women who do not want to worry about changing methods frequently.

How Does the CU-T IUD Work?

The CU-T IUD works by releasing copper into the uterus, which creates a hostile environment for sperm, preventing them from reaching and fertilizing an egg.

The copper affects the uterine lining, preventing implantation if fertilization were to occur.

This makes the CU-T IUD a highly effective and reliable form of birth control.

Benefits of Using CU-T IUD

Highly Effective:

The CU-T IUD is one of the most reliable methods of contraception, with a very low failure rate.

Long-Term Solution:

Depending on the type of CU-T IUD (3 years, 5 years, or 10 years), it provides long-lasting protection from pregnancy without the need for daily attention.

Reversible:

If you decide to become pregnant or no longer wish to use the IUD, it can be easily removed by a healthcare professional, and fertility returns quickly.

No Daily Maintenance:

Once the CU-T IUD is inserted, you do not have to worry about taking a daily pill or using other methods of contraception.

Cost-Effective:

Since it offers long-term contraception, the CU-T IUD can be more cost-effective in the long run compared to other birth control methods.

How is the CU-T IUD Inserted?

Consultation:

You will first have a consultation with your gynaecologist to ensure the CU-T IUD is the right choice for you. Your gynaecologist will discuss your medical history, menstrual cycle, and any other relevant factors.

CU-T IUD Insertion Procedure:

In the gynaecologist's outpatient department, the insertion is typically performed. It is a short process that usually just takes a few minutes. The surgery usually goes well; however, you could feel a little uncomfortable.

Aftercare:

After the insertion, you may experience mild cramps or spotting for a few days. It's recommended to avoid sexual activity for a short time after the procedure to allow your body to adjust. Specific aftercare instructions will be provided by your healthcare practitioner.

Follow-Up Appointment:

You will be asked to schedule a follow-up visit after the insertion to ensure that the CU-T IUD is in place and there are no complications.

Possible Side Effects

These side effects usually subside after a few months as your body adjusts to the CU-T IUD. However, if you experience severe pain, heavy bleeding, or other concerning symptoms, it is important to contact your healthcare provider.
