An intrauterine device with levonorgestrel is a type of long-acting reversible contraceptive that is inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy. It releases a small amount of the hormone levonorgestrel, which thickens cervical mucus to block sperm and thins the uterine lining to prevent implantation. This type of IUD is effective for several years and can also reduce menstrual bleeding and cramping.
