OH YES!!
Todays IUD's are MADE DIFFERENTLY, and they are the LEADING birth control method around the world!!
I got my IUD at age 21, and have loved it since.
The IUD of 1968 was made with a string that actually ABSORBED bacteria, todays IUD strings DO NOT do this at all!
ULTRASOUND technology allows us better images of the uterus to ensure proper placement if there is a question.
BETTER SKILLS. Todays IUD's are inserted by people with SKILL. Today's IUD insertions require measurements of the uterus before insertion..
Perforation today is considered an EXTREMELY rare event.
