Paragard

Paragard is a type of long-acting reversible contraceptive, often called an intrauterine device (IUD). It's a small, T-shaped plastic and metal device inserted into the uterus by a healthcare provider. Once in place, it can prevent pregnancy for up to 10 years by releasing copper, which is toxic to sperm, or by preventing fertilization. Paragard is hormone-free, making it an option for those who prefer not to use hormonal birth control. It is highly effective, reversible, and can be removed at any time if pregnancy is desired later.
