RE: 22-year-old female presents to the office with questions concerning contraceptive options...
Copper IUDs are one of the most effective contraceptives on the market. They can stay in place for up to ten years and have a failure rate of less than 0.8%.
The Copper IUD works by acting as a natural spermicide within the uterus, and is an excellent option for patients who cannot take hormones but desire long term contraception.
