A member asked:
What are the pros and cons of the copper iub (ballerine) vs copper iud (paraguard) ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
IUD types: both use copper to create an environment, hostile to sperm. It appears the Ballerine should be slightly more comfortable, some studies suggest this is true. The Paragard is rated for 10 years, the Ballerine, only for 5 years.
