Abstract
Essential facts Intrauterine contraception (IUC) methods are long-acting reversible contraceptives with licensed durations of use lasting between three and ten years. They include copper intrauterine devices (Cu-IUD), which are non-hormonal, and levonorgestrel intrauterine systems (LNG-IUS), which release levonorgestrel. They are suitable for most women, including those who have not been pregnant.
