An effective, long-acting and reversible method of contraception
The IUD is a small, T-shaped device that is placed in a woman's womb and provides contraceptive protection for up to ten years and can be removed any time.
The IUCD is a long-acting, reversible contraception (LARC). Long-acting reversible contraception all have the advantage that, once in place, you don’t need to think about them until they need replacing and none of them interrupt sex.
A woman can use an IUCD whether or not she's had children. IUCDs are also straightforward for a trained provider to insert and remove, which can generally be done at any time.
