Lydia sleek is ideal for single women who haven’t had children yet and are not ready for marriage because of school or career. Its unique geometrical shape and small size makes it fit the small womb of a woman who has not been pregnant before. It helps prevent pregnancy for 5 years.
It is the only small sized IUD available in Nigeria and may be useful in the treatment of Asherman’s Syndrome (a gynecological condition caused by scars in the womb due to unsafe abortion or other problems)
Lydia Copper Y is ideal for women who want to delay pregnancy for sometime before having the next child. The special-Y shape helps it sit accurately in the womb and it prevents pregnancy for up to 5 years. It can also be removed at anytime if desired before the 5th year is up.
Lydia postpartum IUD is inserted immediately after delivery or within 48hours after delivery as this is when the cervix is still slightly open so no pain for the woman during insertion. This special IUD is designed for this purpose and helps women get this effective family planning method before being discharged from the hospital.
It saves women the cost of transporting themselves back to the hospital after 6 weeks for their IUD or getting pregnant soon after delivery while waiting for their period to come. it can prevent pregnancy for up to 10 years but can also be removed at anytime she wants.
