How does an IUD work? Can it be used for emergency contraception?
ثبت نشده
چکیده
On the Planned Parenthood website, it indicates that the copper IUD can be used as emergency contraception if inserted within 5 days of unprotected sex, and that it is 99.9 percent effective as emergency contraception. I had never heard this before. The website also says that the IUD works by affecting the way that sperm move, and that there is no evidence that it works by preventing an embryo from implanting in the uterus. What if the egg meets the sperm in those five days?
