Intrauterine Devices

The intrauterine device, or IUD, is one of the most popular contraceptive methods used by women around the world. It is a small plastic or copper coil that is inserted into a woman's uterus and prevents pregnancy.

However, using an IUD may have some side effects that need to be taken into account. One of these effects is an increase in the volume of menstrual flow. This is because the IUD can irritate the lining of the uterus, causing an increase in the amount of blood released during menstruation.

Additionally, blood loss during menstruation can lead to iron deficiency in the body. Iron is an essential nutrient that is essential for the proper functioning of the body. Lack of iron can lead to the development of anemia, which is characterized by fatigue, weakness, dizziness and other symptoms.

However, not all women who use IUDs experience these side effects. Some women notice that their menstrual cycles become lighter and less painful after having the IUD installed. In addition, IUD is a very effective method of contraception, which is why many women prefer it to other methods.

If you are considering using an IUD, discuss this issue with your doctor. He will be able to tell you about all the side effects and help you choose the most suitable method of contraception, taking into account your individual needs and characteristics of the body.
