Birth Control: IUDs & Hormone Implants
An article in todays Daily Sun states that use of IUDs and hormone implants are rising. The use of an IUD is reversible, as the article says, but it has to be installed and removed by a doctor so it's likely to be in for a long time, perhaps years.
This was just a news brief so it didn't get into any details. The down side, as I see it, is that an IUD works by creating inflammation. Inflammation keeps a fertilized egg from becoming implanted. This represents chronic inflammation that can have adverse effects on the body.
This raises a question about other implants such as dental implants, knee joints, stints and so forth. Chronic inflammation can have an adverse impact on the whole body.
Does anyone have any personal experience with adverse effects from one or more of the above implants?
