Multiload is a highly effective intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD) used to prevent unwanted pregnancies. It's a T-shaped plastic frame with copper wire wound around it. This copper wire produces an environment in the uterus that is hostile to sperm, preventing fertilization.
Multiload works by releasing copper ions into the uterus, which immobilizes the sperm, making it difficult for them to reach and fertilize the egg. Moreover, the device also affects the uterine lining, making it less suitable for implantation.
The process begins with a thorough consultation, where the patient's medical history and suitability for the procedure are assessed. If deemed appropriate, the device is inserted into the uterus through the cervix. This should only be performed by a skilled medical practitioner to avoid any complications.
Multiload is one of the most reliable forms of contraception. It offers long-term protection, typically for up to five years, making it a convenient choice for many women.
One of the major advantages of Multiload is that it can be easily removed when a woman decides to conceive. Pushpam Gynae & Neuro Clinic specializes in the safe and efficient removal of Multiload.
Compared to other forms of contraception, Multiload has relatively few side effects. Some women may experience heavier periods, but these symptoms typically subside after the initial adjustment period.
