General Information On TT 380 Slimline Copper IUD

TT 380 Slimline Copper IUD is a contraceptive copper uterine device that is inserted inside the womb/uterus of a woman by a trained healthcare professional. It can be kept there for as long as 10 years. This contraceptive method works by preventing the egg and the sperm from fusing in the womb. In case the egg does get fertilized, the device prevents the egg from attaching itself to the lining of the uterus. IUD stands for Intrauterine device.

This Copper IUD causes the uterus to produce white blood cells and prostaglandins, which kill both sperms and eggs. This contraceptive solution also acts as a spermicide and effectively kills the sperms to prevent conception.

Many women buy TT 380 Slimline Copper IUD because it proves to be a much better contraceptive solution than a contraceptive pill. The best thing is that once inserted, it can effectively prevent conception as long as you want.

Side Effects

You may face a few side effects when you use an IUD, and your doctor will inform you about them. Most women complain of heavy menstrual flow after they start using TT 380 Slimline Copper IUD. Their cycles become longer and more painful. However, this happens only during the initial few months after the insertion. After some time, the side effects subside. The one drawback is that heavy blood loss can cause anemia. Therefore, this contraceptive solution is not advisable for women who already have a heavy menstrual flow.

Although there is a very slim chance of conception while using the device, pregnancy has been reported in certain cases. However, these are ectopic pregnancies. They are confined to the fallopian tubes, and not the uterus.

Precautions

There is a slight chance of infection within the first 20 days of insertion of TT 380 Slimline Copper IUD. It is better to check for a preexisting infection before using the device. If that is the case, then your doctor or gynecologist will prescribe medicines to cure that infection and only then insert the device.

IUDs have been known to slip out accidently. You must check for such expulsions from time to time with the help of your fingertips. Also, TT 380 Slimline Copper IUD can sometimes perforate the womb, especially if it has been placed by an inexperienced doctor.

Some medical conditions can hamper the effectiveness of the device. Inform your doctor if you have any STD, structural abnormality of the womb or cervix, pelvic infections, etc.

Dosage

You can use TT 380 Slimline Copper IUD and keep in inserted for up to 10 years. Women after the age of 40 can keep using it until they reach menopause.

Interactions

Before you buy TT 380 Slimline Copper IUD, you must inform your doctor if you are already on some medication. Certain drugs reduce the effectiveness of the device. If your doctor finds it unfeasible for you to use this method of contraception, you will be recommended to seek other alternatives.
