Intrauterine Device
Among the contraceptive methods available, the intrauterine device is particularly advantageous: not only does it have the highest effectiveness rate, but once it is inserted, you don't have to worry about it anymore. This small device prevents pregnancy at all times, without you having to do anything. To help you take advantage of this option, the doctors at the Humani private medical clinic in Rosemère can prescribe, insert, and remove IUDs.
Two models for different effects
- Hormonal IUD
The main stem contains a reservoir filled with a progestogen hormone. As it is released, this hormone thickens the cervical mucus (the secretions from the cervix) to block sperm and limit the thickening of the endometrium (the inner layer of the uterus). This prevents fertilized eggs from attaching to the uterus while reducing the amount of menstrual bleeding. In addition to preventing pregnancy, the hormonal IUD helps control the length and heaviness of periods. This hormonal treatment can sometimes cause various side effects in the early stages after insertion, including abdominal cramps, nausea, headaches, acne, and menstrual cycle irregularities before the cycle stabilizes again. Sometimes, menstruation stops completely. If these symptoms persist after a few months, it is important to talk to a doctor.
- Copper IUD
Contrary to what its name suggests, only its main stem is surrounded by a copper wire. It works by destroying sperm and altering the endometrium so that fertilized eggs cannot implant. Although it is effective at preventing pregnancy, it does not control menstruation.
In fact, it tends to increase menstrual flow (bleeding and duration).
For a prescription or removal of an IUD in Rosemère
If you are considering having an IUD inserted, discuss it with the doctors at the Humani clinic in Rosemère. After an examination and discussion, they will be able to determine whether this method of contraception is right for you. They will also help you choose the appropriate model. Once you have your prescription, all you need to do is purchase the IUD and come back to see us for insertion. In addition, our doctors can remove an IUD if this method of contraception is not right for you or no longer suits your needs, or when it needs to be replaced.
