KB IUD Hormonal dan Non Hormonal Cara Kerjanya | dr. Olivia Franciska Laksmana,Sp. OG

Summary

In this video, Dr. Alif, an OBGYN specialist, explains the details of the Ayudi (IUD) contraception method. The Ayudi is an intrauterine device used to prevent pregnancy, with two types: hormonal and non-hormonal. The non-hormonal IUD uses copper and creates a hostile environment in the uterus, while the hormonal IUD thickens cervical mucus and thins the uterine lining. Both types are highly effective, with the non-hormonal IUD lasting up to 5 years and the hormonal one up to 3 years. Dr. Alif emphasizes the importance of regular check-ups, particularly for those at risk of sexually transmitted infections, and stresses the value of family planning for healthier reproductive decisions.

Takeaways

• 😀 The Ayudi IUD (Intrauterine Device) is a contraceptive method inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy.
• 😀 Ayudi comes in two types: hormonal and non-hormonal. The non-hormonal version is typically made with copper, while the hormonal one contains synthetic hormones.
• 😀 The non-hormonal copper Ayudi works by creating an inflammatory response in the uterus, which kills sperm or prevents it from meeting the egg.
• 😀 The hormonal Ayudi has additional benefits like thickening the cervical mucus and thinning the uterine lining, making pregnancy less likely.
• 😀 The hormonal version is considered more effective in preventing pregnancy compared to the non-hormonal version.
• 😀 The copper IUD can last up to 5 years, while the hormonal IUD lasts for about 3 years.
• 😀 Both types of Ayudi require a doctor’s intervention for insertion, which typically takes about 3-5 minutes and does not require anesthesia.
• 😀 Insertion of the IUD may cause slight discomfort, but it is generally not very painful, and it is recommended to be inserted during menstruation for better comfort.
• 😀 The IUD can also be inserted immediately after childbirth, whether vaginal or via cesarean section.
• 😀 After insertion, you may experience spotting, light bleeding, or discharge for 3-6 months, which is a normal side effect.
• 😀 Although highly effective, Ayudi IUDs can still be affected by sexually transmitted infections (STIs), so regular check-ups are important, ideally every 6 months to a year.

Q & A

What is Ayudi, and how does it function as a contraceptive method?

Ayudi is an intrauterine device (IUD) used as a form of contraception. It is inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy. There are two main types: hormonal and non-hormonal. The non-hormonal version typically contains copper or other metals, while the hormonal version releases hormones to prevent pregnancy.

How does the non-hormonal Ayudi work?

The non-hormonal Ayudi, often made with copper, creates an uncomfortable or inflammatory environment in the uterus. This environment kills sperm or prevents sperm from meeting the egg, effectively preventing pregnancy.

What is the mechanism behind the hormonal Ayudi?

The hormonal Ayudi works by thickening the cervical mucus and thinning the uterine lining, which makes it harder for sperm to enter the uterus and for an egg to implant. This method has a higher effectiveness rate compared to the non-hormonal version.

What is the effectiveness of hormonal versus non-hormonal Ayudi?

Both hormonal and non-hormonal Ayudi are highly effective at preventing pregnancy. However, the hormonal version tends to have a higher effectiveness rate due to its additional effects on cervical mucus and the uterine lining.

How long can Ayudi be used for?

The non-hormonal Ayudi (copper IUD) can be used for up to 5 years, while the hormonal Ayudi is typically effective for around 3 years.

Is the insertion of Ayudi painful?

The insertion process takes about 3-5 minutes and does not require anesthesia. While some discomfort is normal, it is generally not extremely painful. Most people experience mild discomfort or cramps during the procedure.

When is the best time to have an Ayudi inserted?

It is recommended to have the Ayudi inserted during menstruation, as this can help reduce the risk of pregnancy and may make the insertion process easier.

Can Ayudi be inserted after childbirth?

Yes, the copper IUD can be inserted immediately after childbirth, whether the delivery was vaginal or via cesarean section. It is typically safe and effective during this period.

What side effects should I expect after getting an Ayudi?

After insertion, some individuals may experience light spotting, cramps, or mild bleeding for the first few months. These symptoms are usually temporary and fade over time.

Are there any risks associated with using Ayudi?

Although Ayudi is a very effective contraceptive method, it carries some risks, including the potential for pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) if exposed to sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Regular check-ups with a doctor are recommended to monitor for any complications.
