Liberte UT 380 Information

Liberte UT 380 (Intrauterine Device with Copper) is a popular form of non-hormonal contraception used to prevent pregnancy in women of reproductive age. It is a highly effective, long-acting, and reversible method of birth control. It may also be used as an emergency contraceptive after a contraceptive failure in women who also desire long-term birth control. It is highly effective for this purpose if inserted within five days of unprotected sex. Like many copper intrauterine devices, the Liberte UT 380 typically consists of a small, flexible, T-shaped plastic frame, with a 380 mm² copper wire wound around the vertical stem. Being an intrauterine device, it is typically inserted into the uterus via the vagina, where it exerts its contraceptive effects.

Unlike hormonal intrauterine devices, this copper device works by creating a local, sterile inflammatory reaction in the uterus. The copper ions released are toxic to sperm, which appears to be its primary way of preventing pregnancy. They essentially impair sperm motility (ability to swim) and viability, stopping them from reaching and fertilizing the egg. It may also prevent implantation of a fertilized egg, which is why it's also incredibly effective for emergency contraception. What makes this copper device stand out is that it contains no hormones, making it less likely to interfere with the natural menstrual cycle or cause hormonal side effects like mood changes or weight gain.

Copper intrauterine devices are among the most effective forms of contraception available, boasting an efficacy rate of over 99% (less than 1 in 100 women will become pregnant in a year). This level of protection is comparable to sterilization. Liberte UT 380 comes in different sizes, notably short and standard form and is typically effective for a duration of 5 years. The standard format is typically adapted for women who have been pregnant multiple times, while the short form is mostly for women who have not been pregnant before. Also, fertility returns immediately upon removal, which is a significant advantage if your plans change and you decide you want to try to conceive.
