Intrauterine Devices Progesterone Releasing, commonly known as IUDs, are a convenient and highly effective form of birth control. These small, T-shaped devices are inserted into the uterus, where they slowly release progesterone, a hormone that prevents pregnancy by thinning the uterine lining and thickening the cervical mucus. While commonly referred to as IUDs, these devices are also known by other synonyms, such as "progesterone-releasing IUDs" or "hormonal IUDs". They offer long-term protection against unwanted pregnancies, with some types remaining effective for up to 10 years. With various brand names available, IUDs are a versatile option for women seeking reliable birth control that requires minimal effort once inserted.
