Abstract
The oldest modification of an intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD) used today was suggested by Hippocrates who thought that inserting different object into the uterus could make pregnancy impossible. Additionally, Arab camel drivers placed stones into the uterus of their female camels in order to prevent pregnancy in them.
