    A Multiload (ML) Cu 250 IUD was inserted manually immediately after childbirth in 200 volunteer women. The patients were followed up at 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months. There were no undesirable side effects and no serious complications occurred. No noteworthy bleeding occurred either in the postpartum period or subsequently. Maternal lactation was not affected. During the 2 years, 6 devices were removed for medical reasons and the IUD was expelled spontaneously in only 2 patients. 2 pregnancies occurred among the women who were followed up. Postpartum manual insertion of the ML Cu 250 is a very good method of postpartum contraception because there are no significant complications, the rate of expulsion is minimal, and the efficacy is quite high.

    In Vitro Fertilization

    In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a form of assisted reproductive technology where an egg is fertilized with sperm in a controlled laboratory environment before transferring the resulting embryo into the uterus. This process is designed to help individuals and couples experiencing difficulties conceiving.
    The IVF process begins with ovarian stimulation, during which reproductive endocrinologists prescribe hormonal medications to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs instead of the single...

    Birth Control Methods

    Vasectomy is a surgical form of male sterilization that involves severing and sealing the vasa deferentia, preventing sperm from mixing with semen during ejaculation. Because a vasectomy does not impact the testes' ability to produce testosterone, hormone levels, libido, and sexual function generally remain unchanged. While vasectomy is highly effective in preventing pregnancy, with a success rate near 99.85%, rare cases of recanalization (spontaneous reconnection) can occur. Although vasectomy...

    Intrauterine Drug Delivery Systems

    Controlled-release systems for intravaginal and intrauterine drug delivery have been developed primarily for the administration of contraceptive steroid hormones. These delivery routes circumvent first-pass hepatic metabolism, thereby enhancing bioavailability and allowing for reduced systemic dosages compared to oral administration. Such approaches contribute to improved therapeutic efficacy and patient compliance, particularly in long-term contraceptive regimens.Intravaginal Drug Delivery...
