IUDs have made great inroads from years ago.
They are placed at 99% effective against pregnancy (though not STDs!).
Women can now choose ones with hormones that help pre-menopause dilemmas (check with your doctor…).
And more good news on top came out this year: IUDs are safe for teens.
Alarming on the other hand was another study this year that birth control costs more in poorer neighborhoods than more wealthy counterparts. Abominable, don’t you think?
Thanks to Catherine Pearson @HuffPost for a great wrap-up of some key 2013 women’s health studies. There are more to peruse, here the article link.
