Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Hello, common types of intrauterine devices (IUDs) include circular, T-shaped, V-shaped, Y-shaped, and chain-like forms, among others. IUDs made of different materials and shapes also have different characteristics. The scientific name for an IUD is an intrauterine device. It is placed inside the uterine cavity of a woman of childbearing age, achieving contraception through mechanical stimulation and chemical interference, without inhibiting ovulation or affecting the female endocrine system. As a result, it avoids the adverse reactions commonly associated with drug-based contraception.
