Hello,
No form of birth control is free of side effects, but the IUD (intrauterine device) seems to have the least noticeable ones. That's what makes it such a popular option among women of all ages. An IUD is a tiny device a doctor puts into your uterus to prevent pregnancy. It has lower side effects.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
