Choosing between an IUD and the pill is a personal decision, but there are several advantages to consider when it comes to using an IUD:   ● Long-lasting contraception - Unlike the pill, which requires daily administration, an IUD provides long-lasting contraception that ranges from 3 to 10 years, depending on the type. This means you don't have to remember to take a pill every day. ● Highly effective - IUDs are considered one of the most effective forms of contraception, as they have a very low failure rate. They offer greater protection against unintended pregnancies compared to the pill. ● Low maintenance - Once an IUD is inserted, there's no need to worry about daily or monthly maintenance. You can enjoy continuous protection without the need for frequent refills or prescription renewals. ● Hormonal and non-hormonal options - IUDs come in both hormonal and non-hormonal varieties, providing flexibility to choose the option that best suits your needs and preferences. ● Reduced menstrual symptoms - Some hormonal IUDs can reduce menstrual cramps, lighten periods, and even stop them altogether in some cases.   Our clinics are located in Arcadia, CA, and Glendale, CA.
