What is a hormonal IUD and how does it work?

A hormonal intrauterine device (IUD) is a small, flexible device that a doctor inserts into the uterus to prevent unintended pregnancy. It gradually releases a small amount of the hormone levonorgestrel, which thickens cervical mucus, making it harder for sperm to reach an egg.

Unlike contraceptive pills, a hormonal IUD does not require daily use. It provides long-term contraception and can be removed by a doctor whenever needed. The ability to become pregnant returns after removal.

A hormonal IUD offers a long-term contraceptive option without the need to manage contraception every day.

How to prepare for IUD insertion and what to expect afterwards

Before having a hormonal intrauterine device (IUD) inserted, it is important to discuss your health, menstrual cycle and reproductive plans with your gynaecologist. Your doctor will perform the necessary examination and determine whether any additional tests are needed to assess your suitability for the procedure. Be sure to mention any possibility of pregnancy, unusual vaginal bleeding, symptoms of infection, chronic conditions or medicines you take.

During and after insertion, you may experience cramping in your lower abdomen and light bleeding or spotting. Your periods may also be irregular during the first few months and often become lighter over time. You can discuss potential discomfort and available pain-management options with your doctor before the procedure.

After insertion, follow your doctor's individual recommendations regarding follow-up appointments and additional contraception. Seek medical attention if you experience severe or worsening pain, a high temperature or unusually heavy bleeding.

Benefits of a hormonal IUD

  • A hormonal IUD is one of the most effective methods of contraception, with an effectiveness rate of over 99% at preventing pregnancy.
  • Once inserted, the device provides protection against pregnancy for several years. The exact duration depends on the specific device.
  • Unlike contraceptive pills, a hormonal IUD does not require daily medication or the need to remember your next dose.
  • There is no need to take additional contraceptive action immediately before sex, making contraception easier to manage in everyday life.
  • Many women find that their periods become lighter after having a hormonal IUD inserted. Some stop having periods altogether.
  • A hormonal IUD may also help reduce menstrual pain, which can be particularly beneficial for women with painful periods.
  • Before insertion, your gynaecologist will assess your health, consider any potential contraindications and help you decide whether this method is right for you.
  • If you decide to try for a pregnancy or switch to another contraceptive method, your doctor can remove the IUD. Fertility generally returns promptly after removal.

Who is a hormonal IUD suitable for?

A hormonal IUD may be a suitable option for women looking for reliable contraception that lasts for several years without the need to take a daily pill. It can be considered whether or not you have given birth before. Your overall health, menstrual cycle and future pregnancy plans are important factors when choosing this method.

There are certain medical conditions in which hormonal IUD insertion may not be recommended or may need to be postponed. Before the procedure, your gynaecologist will assess any potential contraindications and help you decide whether this method is right for you or whether another contraceptive option would be more suitable.

Frequently asked questions

Is hormonal IUD insertion painful?
Insertion may cause cramping or discomfort similar to menstrual pain. The experience varies from person to person. You can discuss pain relief options with your gynaecologist before the procedure.
Can I have a hormonal IUD if I have never given birth?
Yes. Not having given birth is not, by itself, a contraindication to hormonal IUD insertion. Your gynaecologist can assess whether this method is suitable for you based on your health and reproductive plans.
How long does a hormonal IUD last?
Depending on the model, a hormonal IUD can provide contraception for several years. The exact duration depends on the specific device and its approved instructions. Your doctor can also remove it earlier if needed.
Will my periods change after insertion?
During the first few months, you may experience irregular bleeding or spotting between periods. Over time, periods often become lighter and less painful. Some women stop having periods altogether. These changes vary from person to person.
How soon does a hormonal IUD start working?
This depends on when the device is inserted in your menstrual cycle. In some cases, an additional contraceptive method is needed for 7 days after insertion. Your gynaecologist will explain whether you need to use condoms or another method during this period.
Who should not have a hormonal IUD?
A hormonal IUD may not be suitable for women with current or previous breast cancer, certain liver conditions, unexplained uterine bleeding, active pelvic infections or particular conditions affecting the uterus or cervix. It should not be inserted during pregnancy or when pregnancy is suspected. Suitability depends on the specific condition and clinical assessment. Tell your doctor about any chronic conditions and ongoing treatment.
Does a hormonal IUD protect against sexually transmitted infections?
No. A hormonal IUD prevents pregnancy but does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Condoms help reduce the risk of STI transmission.
