Question: What are the two different IUD ?
Theres two different colored iud and I wanted to know what the differences are.
Answers:
The two IUDs currently marketed are ParaGard and Mirena. Here's a little comparison:
ParaGard - non-hormonal (made of copper); can be left in for up to 10 years; disadvantage is increased menstrual blood flow
Mirena - hormonal (releases 10-20 mcg of levonorgestrel daily); can be left in for up to 5 years; causes a reduction in menstrual blood loss; a disadvantage is increased spotting in the first 6 months
