The birth control hormonal intrauterine device (IUD) has grown popular because it can protect against pregnancy for up to 5 years. But MANY women may suffer from severe side effects including:

  • spontaneous migration of the device and puncture/perforation of the uterus.

  • copper toxicity symptoms include headaches, fatigue, insomnia, depression, skin rashes, spaciness or premenstrual syndrome, fibroids and endometriosis.

  • bacterial infections leading to hysterectomies…are you getting the gist!!!
