Examining the advantages and disadvantages of IUD and contraceptive pills
There are many different methods of contraception. One of the best of these methods is the use of contraceptive pills and IUDs. But experts believe that the use of birth control pills is 20 times more likely to cause unwanted pregnancy than the IUD method.
New research has shown that the failure rate of the pill and other short-term methods is higher than previously estimated. Maybe because the possibility of forgetting and irregular use of these pills is higher in the new life where women are more busy. However, birth control pills are still the most common reversible method of birth control in America.

While only 5.5% of women who do not want children use IUD in this country. Researchers say that unwanted pregnancy can have an adverse effect on the health of women and their babies. So that half of the 3 million unwanted pregnancies in the United States per year are due to the failure of contraceptive pills. Of course, this is not the fault of the pills, but the fault of people who forget to take their pills regularly!
.
But long-term methods help women to reduce their own role in this prevention. For example, implantable capsules gradually release a hormone that prevents the ovulation of the ovary and does not allow the release of the egg. These capsules are implanted in women’s armpits and last up to 3 years. An IUD is a T-shaped device that is implanted in the uterus to prevent replacement of the egg after conception.

In America, two types of IUDs (hormonal Mirena and copper Paragard) are used. Both methods prevent pregnancy up to 99% for 5 to 10 years. Of course, pills are 99% effective if they are taken correctly, but in reality, many women cannot handle the regular and correct use of pills. For this reason, researchers in the New England Journal of Medicine have finally concluded that IUDs and implantable capsules are better than other methods such as pills.
