IUD stands for intrauterine device. It’s a small device that’s inserted into the uterus by a doctor for contraception. Many times, IUDs are classified as long-acting reversible contraception.
Almost all women are candidates for an IUD, with a few exceptions. It’s a common myth that women who haven’t been pregnant and who are adolescents aren’t candidates.
