Ovarian cysts often cause no symptoms, and most women are unaware that they have them. However, certain cysts can cause problems from pelvic pain to infertility. Don’t put off getting help if you have symptoms.
The IUD (intra-uterine device) is a small flexible, plastic medical apparatus. The IUD is placed inside the uterus by our Doctor in the office. It provides long-term protection from pregnancy for up to 5 to 10 years, depending on the type. IUDs are a very popular option because there is no need to remember to take a pill every day. There are two main types of IUD, those that contain copper or those that contain a small amount of the female hormone progesterone. Both have different unique advantages.
Inserting the IUD is a quick and simple procedure done in our office without the need for anesthesia. The IUD provides better than 99% effectiveness in preventing pregnancy, however, it does not prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.
Schedule an appointment to speak to our healthcare team about whether the IUD is a good choice for you.
