Unexpected or unintended pregnancy is a global health concern. Young women who are pregnant are refused contraception care inmany nations. For women, reversible methods of contraception with long-acting methods such as intrauterine devices (IUDs) provedmore productive than short-acting methods including tablets and condoms. We systematically searched on Google scholar, PubMed,LitCovid, and MedRxiv using the search terms unintended pregnancy, contraception, implants, and IUD/IUS for published articles. Theavailable IUDs now provide nearly complete childbirth protection although have few complications. Implantable contraceptives arecommonly practiced all around the globe. Implants are among the most effective and reliable contraceptive strategies available. TheFood and Drug Administration (FDA) of the United States in 1990, approved the Norplant contraceptive. The IUDs and implants apartfrom being successful contraceptives have a variety of harmful effects, which led the development in the field. The insertion andremoval involving a qualified individual and the aseptic setting were correlated with other small hazards for IUDs and implants. Thisreview focuses on the complications with IUDs and implants, and also focuses on the developments in the field of novel IUDsapproaches.
