Professional IUD Birth Control Services at Metro Area Advanced Practice Healthcare
At Metro Area Advanced Practice Healthcare, we understand that every individual has unique needs when it comes to contraception. That’s why we offer a full range of IUD birth control options, designed to provide effective, long-term protection with convenience and minimal effort.
What is IUD Birth Control and How Does It Work?
An intrauterine device (IUD) is a small, T-shaped device inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy. Depending on the type, it works either by releasing hormones or using copper to create a barrier that stops sperm from fertilizing an egg. IUD birth control is safe, reversible, and highly effective, making them a popular choice for long-term birth control.
Hormonal IUD Birth Control: Mirena, Skyla, Liletta, and Kyleena
For those seeking a hormonal IUD birth control option, we provide Mirena, Skyla, Liletta, and Kyleena IUDs. These IUDs work by releasing small amounts of progestin into the uterus, which thickens cervical mucus and prevents sperm from reaching the egg. Each option offers unique benefits:
- Mirena: Effective for up to 8 years, Mirena is ideal for individuals who desire long-term birth control along with the potential to reduce heavy menstrual bleeding.
- Skyla: Designed for those who haven’t had children, Skyla offers up to 3 years of protection with a smaller size for easier insertion.
- Liletta: Cost-effective and versatile, Liletta provides up to 8 years of reliable contraception.
- Kyleena: A low-dose hormonal IUD effective for up to 5 years, Kyleena is an excellent option for individuals sensitive to higher hormone levels.
Non-Hormonal IUD Birth Control: ParaGard (Copper IUD)
For individuals seeking a hormone-free solution, we offer ParaGard. This copper IUD birth control provides up to 10 years of protection and works by creating an environment that is inhospitable to sperm. ParaGard is perfect for those who prefer natural birth control methods or cannot use hormonal options.
