Intrauterine Contraceptive Device (IUCD) Overview
Looking for a reliable and convenient way to prevent pregnancy? IUCD offers a long-lasting, safe solution for family planning.
Thakral Hospital provides expert IUCD services with a focus on patient comfort and clear guidance to help you make informed choices.
IUCD is a small device that offers big peace of mind — effective contraception with minimal effort.
What is IUCD?
An IUCD is a small, T-shaped device made of plastic or copper, placed inside the uterus to prevent pregnancy by stopping sperm from fertilizing an egg.
IUCD is one of the most effective long-term birth control methods suitable for many women.
- Copper IUCD - Contains copper and provides protection for 5 to 10 years.
- Hormonal IUCD - Releases hormones and lasts for 3 to 5 years.
Both types are safe and effective. Our specialists at Thakral Hospital will help you choose the best option based on your health and preferences.
Why Do Women Use IUCD?
IUCD is a popular choice for many women in Gurgaon because it helps with:
- Heavy menstrual bleeding (Menorrhagia)
- Painful periods (Dysmenorrhea)
- Management of small uterine fibroids
- Heavy bleeding related to perimenopause
- Adenomyosis symptoms
- General family planning needs
IUCD provides a hassle-free contraceptive option that lasts for years without daily attention.
