Jaydess is a hormonal intrauterine device (IUD) used as a long-term contraceptive method. It is a small, T-shaped device that is inserted into the uterus by a healthcare professional. Jaydess releases a low dose of levonorgestrel, a type of progestin hormone, directly into the uterus. This action helps to prevent pregnancy by thickening the cervical mucus to block sperm, inhibiting sperm from reaching or fertilizing an egg, and thinning the lining of the uterus to prevent implantation of a fertilized egg. Jaydess is designed to be effective for up to three years after insertion, offering a convenient and reversible form of birth control for women seeking an alternative to daily oral contraceptives or other forms of contraception.
