An IUD (Intrauterine Device) is inserted into the uterus by a physician and is highly effective at preventing pregnancy. It works by either killing or damaging sperm, preventing fertilization or by affecting the lining of the uterus to prevent implantation of a fertilized egg. In some cases, it can also dislodge an implanted embryo.
