Belgium: IUD use by women 2001-2018

In Belgium, the use of the IUD (Intrauterine contraceptive device) by sexually active women increased from 2001 to 2018. For instance, in 2001, around ten percent of women aged 15 to 49 used such a device, whereas, in 2018, this number rose to 25.8 percent. In other words, one out of four sexually active women in Belgium used an IUD as a contraceptive method in 2018.
