IUD
(Intrauterine Device)
What is it?

A copper IUD (intrauterine device) is a long-acting reversible contraceptive made of small, flexible plastic device wrapped in copper that provides up to ten years of protection against pregnancy. Inserted into the uterus by a doctor or healthcare provider, it is made of high-quality materials, ensuring its safety for long-term use.

Effectiveness

IUD is 99% effective, meaning only 1 out of 100 women might get pregnant in a year.

Pros

Once inserted, there is no need to manage it daily or during sexual activity

Fertility quickly returns to normal after the IUD is removed

Can last up to 10 years

Cons

Insertion can cause cramping or discomfort, especially for those with a sensitive cervix

IUDs do not protect against sexually transmitted infections; additional protection like condoms is needed

Condom
What is it?

A condom is a thin, flexible barrier made of latex, polyurethane, or other materials designed to be worn during sexual intercourse. Its primary purpose is to prevent pregnancy and reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

Effectiveness

When used correctly and consistently, condoms are about 98% effective at preventing pregnancy, meaning only 2 out of 100 women might get pregnant in a year.

Pros

Reduces risk of STIs including HIV, gonorrhea, and chlamydia

Available over-the-counter without a prescription

Different types, sizes, and textures available

Cons

Needs proper storage and handling to avoid damage

Condoms can’t protect against human papilloma virus (HPV), herpes simplex virus (HSV), trichomoniasis, syphilis, and molluscum contagiosum
