Your spelling is atrocious! The IUD aka inter uterine device agitates the uterus preventing implantaion of a fertilized egg. The side effects are sometimes uncomfortable such as severe cramping and HEAVY periods. This type of birth control is best for a married woman or someone who is in a monogamous relationship. The reason for this is that there is an increased risk for PID or pelvic inflamatory disease. You should also continue to use condoms as this device does NOT protect against STD's. Another risk is a tubal pregnancy. This is when a fertilized egg decides to plant in the fallopian tube. Because the IUD does not prevent fertilization a tubal pregnancy is very possible. The plus is that it can be left in for 5 to 10 years. There are two types of IUD's. The Mirna and the Copper T. The first is a hormonal type that is good for five years and the copper t is a non hormanal which can be left in for ten years. For the specfic differences i suggest looking them up. This website is good info for teens; http://kidshealth.org/teen/sexual_health/contraception/contraception_iud.html
i hope this helped

There are different types of Iud on the market. They are all a T shaped piece of plastic that is inserted into the uterus. The copper T is one that contains no hormones. The copper on the end of the T prevents(chemically) sperm from entering the fallopian tubes to fertilize the egg. There are other kinds that also contain slow release(over many years) hormones. The T keepes the eggs from getting fertilized, but if they accidentally do, the hormones(usually progesterone) will prevent the egg from implanting in the uterus. With the hormone containing ones, the hormone prevents you from builing up the walls of the uterus for implantation, so you also have no period.

devices have a flexible plastic frame wound with copper, which a slight inflammatory reaction in the uterus and makes it unreceptive to a fertilized ovum. sperm motility is also inhibited. a frame less copper device is also available. usually it can cause heavy periods, so blood should be checked for anemia before trying to conceive. pelvic infection maybe more severe for women using IUD so it is preferable not to use an IUD until after you have completed your family. hope this helps you

depending on which one you have but the cooper one uses cooper to divert the sperm and block the egg IF it happens to reach and get fertilized it also blocks it from implanting.Mirena the hormonal one alter the environment in the uterus to avoid ovulation All this is speculated as the real way the IUD's wrk is unknown

AN IUD IS AN INTRA UTERINE DEVICE INSERTED INTO THE UTERUS TO PREVENT PREGNANCIES. YOU CAN ALSO CALL AN OBGYN DOCTOR TO EXPLAIN THIS TO YOU. YOU DONOT NEED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THEM TO EXPLAIN WHAT AN IUD IS.

If your spelling is an indication of your age, then you are too young to know.
