The IUD (intra-uterine device) is a very reliable form of contraception, which combines well with breastfeeding. There are two types of IUD (also known as coils): the hormone-containing IUD, the Mirena and Kyleena IUD, and the copper IUD: The T-Safe and Ballerine. The hormonal IUD encourages tougher uterine membranes which prevents fertilised eggs from attaching to the uterine wall. In some women, ovulation is suppressed.
Inserting an IUD device is often a bit uncomfortable and takes a few minutes. We can give you a prescription for the hormonal and copper IUD. The copper IUD is the only device that you can buy online without prescription: http://www.t-safe.nl/ You can also purchase the T-safe or Ballerina from our practice.
