What are the negatives of an IUD?

Potential Drawbacks of Using an IUD

There are several disadvantages associated with the use of an IUD. Firstly, unlike condoms, they do not offer protection against sexually transmitted infections. Additionally, while the failure rate is relatively low at under 1%, it is still important to consider this factor. Furthermore, particularly with non-hormonal IUDs, users may experience increased pain and discomfort during their menstrual cycles.
