An effective, long-acting and reversible method of contraception<\/h2>

The hormonal IUD or\u00a0IUS (intrauterine system) is a small plastic device\u00a0that prevents pregnancy for up to five years.

It looks quite similar to a\u00a0non-hormonal IUD, but the main difference is that it\u00a0contains hormones and works by steadily\u00a0releasing small amounts of this\u00a0hormone (progestin) into your body each day.

This process prevents any fertilised eggs settling down for pregnancy. This is not harmful and does not affect your long-term fertility. It stops working as soon as it is taken out.

At Marie Stopes, we\u00a0recommend these types of\u00a0contraception to prevent unwanted pregnancies as they are over 99% effective when used properly.<\/p>
