This is the best contraceptive option for my forgetfulness: SIU

Oblivions are one of the main problems with oral contraceptive methods. Because although its effectiveness is 99%, not taking them as it should be decreases its effectiveness.

 

So I decided to go with my gynecologist to discuss contraceptive options, after trying pills, injections and patches that, in addition to altering my mood, some made me gain weight and others caused me longer and more painful periods.

 

I discovered the SIU

 

It turns out that the SIU is an Intra Uterine System , very similar to the IUD, but more comfortable! It is a soft, flexible plastic "T" that is placed in the uterus; already located, releases hormones (levonorgestrel) that prevent pregnancy and annoying cramping or symptoms of pre menstrual syndrome (PMS).


 

The doctor explained that this method releases very low doses of hormones in the uterus, which prevent the sperm from reaching the ovule and fertilizing it; Its useful life extends up to 5 years.

 

 

 

 

What is the difference with the IUD?

 

The Intrauterine device it is only a barrier method, which is made with copper; this for many women can be painful and if any is allergic to the material is not an option.

 

Another problem of IUD is that it causes more abundant bleeding, while the SIU inhibits menstruation during the time it is used, and when you take it off you can get pregnant without problems.

 

Although the IUD and the SIU They have the same form, they do not work in the same way.

 

If you're forgetful like me, with the SIU You will not worry anymore. You can do your activities and enjoy every moment without fear of an unplanned pregnancy, since its effectiveness is 99.3% to 99.9% during its useful life.

 

Go with your gynecologist to evaluate if you are a candidate and when you can start with this practical method of contraception. To inform oneself is to protect oneself.
