Case description
  • Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptives (LARCs) include hormonal and non-hormonal intrauterine devices (IUDs) and hormonal subdermal implants.
  • The most commonly used and available IUD is a small T-shaped device inserted into the uterine cavity.
  • There are two main types of IUDs: non-hormonal (copper) and hormonal.
  • IUD insertion can be painful, especially in nulliparous patients. Pre-treatment with analgesics, and/or a paracervical block, may be offered.
