Womens Mounting Concerns over IUD Safety Issues

It is verifiable fact that the ovary of each and every woman produces an egg every month. There is a greater likelihood that a woman may get pregnant the moment she engages in an unprotected sex. However, there are contraceptives on the market in order to avoid any unplanned pregnancy and one of these is the intrauterine device (IUD). An intrauterine device is known as a small T-shaped birth control instrument, which is usually fabricated from plastic or copper, to fit inside the uterus (womb). Progesterone and copper IUDs are two kinds of IUDs, which work in different methods. Technically in a copper IUD, there is a little bit of copper that is discharged into the uterus. The ovulation or the menstrual phase is unchanged with this type of IUD. It performs by inhibiting the entrance of the sperm into the egg by disabling the sperm in the direction of the fallopian tubes. The progesterone IUD or Mirena IUD functions by discharging progestin, an artificial hormone, to create the mucus of the cervix thick and sticky and block the sperms from going to the uterus. The Mirena IUD triggers the linings of the uterus never to be thickened, which is a natural process that aids in nurturing a fertilized egg. However, a number of women has filed lawsuits against the Mirena manufacturer and the Mirena IUD Lawsuit Center at mirenalawsuit.us helps women learn more about the said birth control device.

IUD is also associated with several adverse side-effects, like other contraceptive devices. The IUDs side-effect may differ from mild feeling of discomfort to severe complications, depending on a person. Moreover, women who always go through unrelenting menstrual cramps, may not be suitable to be fitted with an IUD because it may only increment the feeling of discomfort like menstrual pain, excessive bleeding and longer periods.

Although there are some rare incidences wherein the IUD fail and caused the woman to become pregnant, the IUD may be needed to be taken out as soon as possible because it increases the possibility of miscarriage. When IUD is used by a woman who is having any type of vaginal infection, she may be at higher danger of acquiring a severe pelvic infection. This is a serious concern, as it can lead to future infertility. The IUD may instigate life-long injury to the uterus once it is fastened in the uterine wall, thus causing fertility complications. Additionally, the restoration of menstruation may be slowed down when using synthetic hormones, which in turn delays the return of fertility.
