vaskIUD

VaskIUD is not a term with an established definition in major medical literature as of 2024. There is no widely cited device or product by that name in peer-reviewed journals or regulatory databases. It may be a misspelling, a shorthand, a proposed concept, or a fictional or hypothetical term. If you are seeking information about a specific product, please provide regulatory name or publisher so it can be cited.

Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are small, T-shaped devices placed in the uterus to provide long-acting contraception. They can be copper or hormonal. Copper IUDs create a spermicidal environment; hormonal IUDs release progestin that thickens cervical mucus and reduces endometrial receptivity and can suppress ovulation in some users. IUDs are among the most effective reversible methods, with failure rates below 1% per year.

Use and removal: insertion is performed by trained clinicians, typically in a clinic; procedure takes a few minutes; some discomfort; follow-up to confirm placement. Duration: copper IUDs 10 years or more; hormonal IUDs 3-7 years depending on brand. Side effects vary: copper IUD can increase menstrual bleeding and cramps; hormonal IUD can reduce bleeding and cramps but may cause irregular bleeding initially, and may have hormonal side effects. Risks: perforation, expulsion, infection in first weeks; contraindications: pregnancy, uterine anomalies, certain cancers, active pelvic infection.

Regulatory status and research: IUDs have long-standing regulatory approval in many countries; ongoing research explores new materials, coatings, and non-contraceptive benefits. If "vaskIUD" refers to a new device, information from manufacturers and regulatory filings would be required for accurate description.
