IUDs

Considering an IUD?

Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are a popular choice for women seeking long-lasting, highly effective birth control. At John Labban, M.D., PC, Women's Health, we provide comprehensive consultations to help you determine if an IUD, and which type is the right fit for your needs and lifestyle. IUDs are small, T-shaped devices inserted into the uterus, offering continuous pregnancy prevention for several years.

Hormonal and Copper Options

We offer both hormonal and non-hormonal IUD options. Hormonal IUDs release progestin, thickening cervical mucus to block sperm and often reducing menstrual bleeding and cramps. Copper IUDs, on the other hand, create an inflammatory reaction that is toxic to sperm, preventing fertilization without the use of hormones.

Advantages of IUDs

IUDs are over 99% effective in preventing pregnancy, making them one of the most reliable birth control methods available. They offer long-term protection, lasting anywhere from 3 to 10 years, and are easily reversible, with fertility returning quickly upon removal. IUDs are also incredibly convenient, requiring no daily or monthly upkeep.

Is an IUD Right for Me?

While IUDs are a safe and effective option for most women, it's crucial to discuss your individual medical history with Dr. Labban. He will assess your needs and preferences to ensure an IUD is a suitable choice for you.
