Скачать или смотреть What is the IUS (Hormonal Coil)? | Sexual health contraception explained

Are you considering the IUS (Intrauterine System) as your method of contraception? This video explains everything you need to know about the hormonal coil, one of the most effective forms of long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) available.

The IUS is a small, T-shaped plastic device that is placed inside the womb (uterus) by a doctor or nurse. Unlike the copper coil (IUD), the IUS releases a low dose of the hormone progestogen, which thins the lining of the womb and thickens cervical mucus to prevent pregnancy.

In this guide, we cover:

Effectiveness: How the IUS is over 99% effective at preventing pregnancy.

The procedure: What to expect during the fitting appointment.

Periods: Why many users experience lighter, shorter, or even non-existent periods after the first few months.

Duration: How long it lasts (typically 3 to 5 years, depending on the brand like Mirena, Kyleena, or Jaydess).

Reversibility: How quickly your fertility returns once it is removed.

Whether you are looking for a "fit and forget" contraceptive method or help with heavy periods, find out if the IUS is the right choice for you.
