What is the status of the use of IUCD in India?
Using an IUCD is a personal choice, and they are a safe and effective way of preventing pregnancy. The device was not much popularized in India during the 50s, but after India attained Independence, the use of IUCD devices gained importance, followed by taking contraceptive pills and sterilization methods.
Medical professionals remain cautious about recommending IUCDs as there are instances that there were lawsuits filed against the maker of a hormonal IUCD. Thus, the IUCD also suffered negative PR due to many such instances.
