Birth Control Methods - What’s is a hormonal IUD?

Health
1 answer:
Elenna [48]3 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

IUD stands for Intrauterine Device — a birth control method that sits inside your uterus. A hormonal IUD is a small piece of flexible plastic shaped like a T. The hormonal IUD releases a tiny amount of the hormone progestin into your body over several years. Progestin is very similar to the hormone progesterone that our bodies make naturally.

The hormones in the IUD help prevent pregnancy, and can also help with painful or heavy periods while you’re using it.

Hormonal IUDs prevent pregnancy by keeping sperm cells away from your eggs. If sperm can’t make it to an egg, pregnancy can’t happen. The hormones in the IUD prevent pregnancy in two ways:

1) Hormonal IUDs make the mucus on your cervix thicker. This mucus blocks sperm so it can’t get to an egg.

2) The hormones in the IUD can also stop eggs from leaving your ovaries (called ovulation), which means there’s no egg for a sperm to fertilize. No egg = no pregnancy.

How can a woman give birth to a child and avoid transmitting herpes?
netineya [11]

Since herpes is spread from active skin infection and not from latent infection, a newborn baby can be infected with herpes only if they are born while the virus is active. Neonatal herpes generally occurs if the baby's skin becomes infected during the birth process.

olasank [31]
The correct answer is 920IU of vitamin D.

International Unit (IU) is a unit of measurement used widely to quantify hormones, vitamins, blood products and several medications. It refers to the mass or volume of a substance but varies depending on the substance which is being measured and its biological activity.

Regarding Vitamin D, 1 microgram (μg) of vitamin D is equivalent to 40IU. Since 6 oz of baked salmon contains 23 μg of vitamin D, Andy's vitamin D intake will be 920IU (23 μg * 40IU = 920IU).
