In Short

- The two types of IUDs the copper-containing IUD and levonorgestrel-containing IUD are called long-acting reversible contraception (LARC). These have similar rates of preventing pregnancy, with failure rates of 0.08% and 0.02%, respectively.
- LNG- IUS provides excellent benefits of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) when used over the transition years of reproduction to perimenopause.
