ParagardÂ® is a copper-releasing device that is placed in your uterus to prevent pregnancy for up to 10 years. Do not use ParagardÂ® if you have a pelvic infection, get infections easily or have certain cancers. Less than 1% of users get a serious infection called pelvic inflammatory disease. If you have persistent pelvic or stomach pain, or if ParagardÂ® comes out, tell your healthcare provider. If it comes out, use back-up birth control. Occasionally, ParagardÂ® may attach to or in rare cases may go through the uterine wall and may also cause other problems. In some cases, surgical removal may be necessary.

The sport of stair climbing, which involves running up stairs, burns nearly twice as many calories as such sports as volleyball and baseball, according to StairClimbingSport.com. The number of calories you burn will depend on your weight, the slope of the stairs, number of stairs and your pace.
