Intrauterine contraception (IUC)
Intrauterine contraception (IUC) is a highly effective method of contraception and available
evidence suggests that its effectiveness is not affected by body weight or body mass index (BMI).
The available evidence suggests that IUC is a safe contraceptive option for women who are overweight and women with obesity.
