About Lydia IUD

Lydia IUD is a highly effective, affordable and safe method of preventing pregnancy. Some people also call it the Lydia coil. It is long lasting (up to 10 years) and does not contain any hormones. Furthermore, women who use Lydia IUD can get pregnant immediately after it is removed-no waiting period, no delay.

Apart from using Lydia IUD for everyday pregnancy prevention, it is also recommended by W.H.O as being the most effective method of emergency contraception (more effective than pills), if it is inserted within 5 days of unprotected sex.

Unlike the other LYDIA IUDs, ELOIRA is different in that it contains a hormone-and releases it slowly every day. This special Hormonal type of IUD, can prevent pregnancy for 5 years and some women prefer it because it can also help reduce menstrual pain.

In addition, ELOIRA greatly reduces blood loss during menstruation, hence it is also used to treat women who have heavy and prolonged periods, as well as people with fibroid. This hormonal IUD is ideal for women who do not have health problems like diabetes, heart disease, obesity or cancer.

How it works

Lydia IUD looks like a small plastic with copper wrapped around it. It comes in up to 5 different shapes and designs, but the commonly known shape is the T-shape called the Lydia Copper T. In order to use Lydia IUD to prevent pregnancy, a trained doctor, or nurse will place it carefully inside the womb.

Once inside the womb, Lydia IUD works by preventing sperm from reaching the woman’s egg, this means it prevents fertilization of the egg. It does this by slowing the speed and movement of sperm so that none can reach the egg (after all, it’s only the fastest and most energetic sperm that can make a baby).
