The intrauterine ball is a non-hormonal contraception device designed to eliminate some of the complications and side effects of other intrauterine devices.Q. I recently heard about a new contraceptive that is placed in the uterus. Please tell me about it.
The IUB is a hormone-free contraceptive in a ball shape and it is inserted into the uterus in the same way as the T-shaped IUD. Once inserted in the uterus, the IUB takes a three-dimensional spherical form.The spherical shape was designed with the benefit of reducing the rate of uterine perforation, malposition of the IUB and to reduce the expulsion rate.
The IUB works by releasing small amounts of copper which makes fertilisation less possible by limiting sperm mobility, preventing sperm from fertilising the egg and by preventing the egg from attaching in the uterus.
