The IUS (Hormonal Intrauterine System), also known as hormonal IUD, is a contraceptive method based on hormones. It is a small "T" shaped piece of plastic that is inserted into the uterus. Once there, it releases progesterone and causes its lining to thin and the cervical mucus to thicken, preventing the sperm from fertilizing the ovum.
