The Little-Known History of the IUD

“It may seem like the most recently developed IUDs, such as the Paragard® copper IUD , are a relatively new development in the medical search for effective contraceptive methods. However, the concept of using intrauterine devices (IUDs) for birth control is more than a few centuries old!

Why haven’t IUDs become more widely prescribed until now? The answer is, in part, because it has taken many years to work out various kinks in the technology, which continues to produce serious side effects in women today.”
