Summary

The video explains the function and safety of the Ayudi IUD (Intrauterine Device), a popular contraceptive method that prevents pregnancy by inhibiting sperm from meeting the egg. It distinguishes between hormonal and non-hormonal versions, clarifying that neither causes weight gain. The hormonal IUD releases progestin locally, affecting only the uterus, while the non-hormonal one uses copper to disrupt sperm movement. The video also discusses possible side effects, such as irregular bleeding or cramps, which are generally mild. The presenter emphasizes that despite some rumors, Ayudi is safe and effective, but users should consult a doctor if side effects occur.

Q & A

What is Ayudi and how does it work?

Ayudi, also known as the KB spiral, is an intrauterine device (IUD) used to prevent pregnancy. It is placed inside the uterus and works by preventing sperm from meeting the egg, thus preventing fertilization. It comes in two types: hormonal and non-hormonal.

What are the two types of Ayudi and how do they differ?

The two types of Ayudi are hormonal and non-hormonal. The non-hormonal type uses copper to disrupt sperm movement, while the hormonal type releases progestin, which thickens cervical mucus and prevents ovulation.

Does using Ayudi cause weight gain?

No, there is no evidence that Ayudi, either hormonal or non-hormonal, causes weight gain. The hormonal IUD has a localized effect, unlike other hormonal contraceptives such as pills or injectables, which can cause systemic changes.

What is the difference between hormonal Ayudi and other hormonal contraceptives like pills or injectables?

Hormonal Ayudi releases progestin directly into the uterus, where it has a localized effect. This is different from pills or injectables, which are systemic and can have a broader impact on the body, including potential weight gain.

How long does Ayudi remain effective once inserted?

The non-hormonal Ayudi can remain effective for up to 10 years, while the hormonal Ayudi is effective for about 5 years after insertion.

What are some common side effects of using Ayudi?

Common side effects of Ayudi can include irregular bleeding, increased menstrual flow, cramps, and symptoms similar to PMS, such as headaches, acne, and breast tenderness. However, these effects are usually mild and temporary.

Can Ayudi be used by everyone, or are there any restrictions?

Ayudi is not recommended for women with certain health conditions, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, cervical or breast cancer, or sexually transmitted infections. It is important to consult a doctor for alternative contraception methods if you have these conditions.

How does the copper in non-hormonal Ayudi prevent pregnancy?

The copper in non-hormonal Ayudi disrupts sperm movement, preventing sperm from reaching the egg. Copper has a toxic effect on sperm, making it difficult for them to swim and fertilize the egg.

How soon after inserting Ayudi does it become effective?

Hormonal Ayudi becomes effective after about one week of use. Non-hormonal Ayudi is immediately effective once inserted.

Are there any long-term risks associated with Ayudi?

While Ayudi is generally safe for most women, it is important to be aware of potential risks such as infections, the possibility of the device becoming dislodged, or the development of pelvic pain. However, serious complications are rare, and the device is considered safe for long-term use.
