A huge number of people buy Copper T Model TCu 380A IUD to prevent a pregnancy, as it is one of the most affordable methods of contraception. The best thing about the device is that whenever you want to get pregnant, you can just get it removed, and your fertility will be restored almost instantly.

Side Effects for Copper T Model TCu 380A IUD

Some women may experience changes in their bleeding patterns, irregular bleeding, more pain and cramps during menstruation, and prolonged bleeding every month as a side effect of Copper T Model TCu 380A IUD. Some women may also notice unusual spotting between their periods. Most of these side effects are experienced only for the first 2-6 months of insertion and subside as the body gets adjusted to the device. Women with an iron deficiency may develop anemia, as the device can cause heavier bleeding during menstruation. Some other side effects that some women may experience include dizziness, back pain, unusual bleeding, and lower abdominal pain.

Precautions

You will be advised to buy Copper T Model TCu 380A IUD only if you have been pregnant at least once and if the shape of your uterus is normal. You should not get the device inserted in your uterus if you are anaemic as it may worsen your condition. The IUD does not provide protection against HIV/AIDS or any other sexually transmitted disease or STD, so if you have more than one sexual partner or if your sexual partner has an STD, then using this device will not be the right choice for you.

Although the device has a success rate of 99%, you should immediately get in touch with your doctor if you miss a period or show pregnancy symptoms. You may have more risks of a pre-term birth or miscarriage if you become pregnant while the IUD is in your uterus. You should also not use this IUD if your uterus is less than 6.5cms in depth. This may result in product breakage, cervical or uterine perforation, or pelvic infection.

The IUD measures 32mm and its weight is below 1 gm. Its tails extend just a bit outward so that you can feel them to ensure that the device is in place from time to time, especially after your periods every month.
