IUD stands for Intrauterine Device. It is a T-shaped piece of plastic that is often covered with copper wire.(copper T) Some IUDs also contain hormones or come in different shapes. The IUD sits inside the uterus. The IUD prevents pregnancy by not allowing a fertilized egg to attach itself to the wall of the uterus. If a fertilized egg cannot attach and grow, it is unable to develop into a fetus. Two appointments are required for an IUD insertion, from your doctor.

The intrauterine device (IUD) is a foreign body basically made of a relatively non-reactive plastic material (polyethylene) inserted into the uterus of a woman for birth control purposes. Some of the more recent devices have incorporated active chemicals such as progesterone or copper which slowly release and react locally to contribute to birth control efficiency.
