An IUD is a tiny device that's put into your uterus to prevent pregnancy. It’s long-term, reversible, and one of the most effective birth control methods out there.
These IUDs are of 2 types: copper IUDs and hormonal IUDs.
IUD uses copper to prevent pregnancy other uses harmones.
If you decide to get pregnant or you just don’t want to have your IUD anymore, your doctor can quickly and easily take it out

IUCD are one of the the oldest and effective methods of contraception ..
they are to be inserted by Gynaecologist ...The insertion is not painful and it takes hardly 2 to 3 minutes ...
ONE of most common IUCD available is multiload or copper IUCD which usually has a life of 5 years ...
the second one is the Merina or the hormonal thing ..it is costly ..the life is 5 years but failure rates are less..Over a period of time it controls heavy bleeding , reduces size of fibroids etc..
