Thoughts on duration of action of IUDS

All IUDs have an official duration of action, but did you know that this is about how long they prevent pregnancy, and not their other functions? Many people use IUDs to suppress menstruation, decrease bleeding, and treat pain. But an IUD that is supposed to last for 8 years may not last that long for that function. It will prevent pregnancy for 8 years, and honestly probably longer than that. The stated length is just about how much data the manufacturer presented to the FDA in getting the FDA label. It is not uncommon that a person using an IUD for menstrual suppression needs to replace it every 3-5 years, as the amount of progesterone suppression of the endometrium wanes faster than the contraceptive efficacy.
