Nova T 380 Copper IUD Manufacturer:
Bayer Schering PharmaNova T-380 Information
Nova T-380 is an intra uterine device designed to prevent a pregnancy. It is a copper, non-hormonal coil inserted inside the cervix. All copper inter uterine devices have a number associated with them. This number is in square millimeters and denotes the surface area of copper in the device.
When you buy Nova T-380, ensure that it is inserted by a healthcare professional. However, you can take it out on your own whenever you want to. The best time to take it out is during the menstrual cycle since the outer and inner cervical are fully dilated during this time.
Description of Nova T-380
Nova T-380 has a polyethylene frame which is shaped as a T, and it has a silver core that is surrounded by copper wire windings. The device uses 380 square millimeters of copper, and the main body is infused with barium sulphate. The removal threads- found at the base of the vertical part of the IUD- are tinted with iron oxide. It can be inserted up to five days following the earliest estimated time of ovulation.
Advantages of Nova T-380
Women buy Nova T-380 to avoid an unwanted pregnancy. This is a long acting reversible contraceptive that can be effective for 5-10 years. Once the device is placed inside the cervix, you can stop worrying about accidental conception. Nova T-380 is preferable to hormonal IUDs since it doesn’t affect the hormonal balance of the body. Unlike hormonal IUDs, Nova T-380 works by inhibiting the sperm’s capacity to fertilize eggs.
How Nova T-380 Works
Nova T-380 needs to be inserted inside the cervix. Once in position, it works in multiple ways. The copper present in the device kills the sperms, thus reducing the number of sperms that reach the uterine tube. The sperm motility is disturbed by the copper. The sperm has to fertilize an egg for pregnancy to commence. If it is blocked or terminated before it can reach the egg, then there is no risk of conception. However, in case an egg is fertilized by a sperm, the device can still prove useful. It irritates the lining of the uterus wall and does not allow the fertilized egg to attach itself to the uterine lining.
Safety & Precautionary Information
Expulsion of the Nova T-380 device is not uncommon, and you must keep checking to see if it is in place. Before inserting the device, you must inform the doctor if you have a history of ectopic pregnancy, tubal surgery, anemia, menorrhagia, diabetes, epilepsy, fertility problems, history of pelvic inflammatory disease, and a history of endocarditis. In case you have pain and bleeding after insertion and it gets severe, then it is better to have the device removed. Nova T-380can cause increased menstrual bleeding and lower abdominal and back pain. It is safe enough to be used by breastfeeding mothers.
