Intrauterine devices are a type of birth control method.
IUD is a small T shaped device that occupies the space in the womb.
The process of inserting and removing a copper-T is a painful experience for women. But now, certified nurse and midwife Sarah Pringle has shared a demonstration video describing how it can be pulled out with ease after pulling out the string it is attached to.
Sarah has shared a video on Tik Tok, writing that IUD can be pulled out gently with a special tool. Sarah said that this tool will slowly pull out the strings and then the IUD.
To demonstrate this practically, Sarah took a petri dish containing a silicon model of a womb. She used this model to depict how a device is fitted in and taken out from the womb. This practical demonstration by Sarah showed how IUDs can be removed very easily. Sarah has depicted this experiment in reply to a doubt received from a girl. The doubt was asking for a demonstration of IUD removal because she was facing a lot of high anxiety levels from the insertion.
