IUD (Intra Uterine Device) is also called Copper T or coil. It is a small plastic coil. It is put in the womb and prevents pregnancy by stopping male sperm and female eggs from meeting. The IUD does not protect you from Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) or HIV/AIDS- always use a condom to protect yourself and others from these. Want to know more about IUD?
