Copper T Intrauterine Device

The Copper Intrauterine Device (Cu-T) is a small, T-shaped plastic device wrapped with copper wire that is placed inside the uterus to prevent pregnancy. It is non-hormonal, long-acting, and one of the most effective reversible contraceptive methods available.

✅ How Does It Work?

  • The copper on the IUD creates an environment toxic to sperm, preventing them from fertilizing an egg.

  • It does not interfere with natural hormones or menstrual cycles.

  • It begins working immediately after insertion and can last up to 10 years.

💡 Key Advantages

  • Highly Effective: Over 99% success rate in preventing pregnancy

  • Long-Term Protection: Works for 5–10 years depending on the type

  • Reversible: Fertility returns quickly after removal

  • Hormone-Free: Suitable for women who prefer non-hormonal birth control

  • Breastfeeding Safe: Can be used during lactation

⚠️ Possible Side Effects

  • Heavier or more painful periods (usually improves over time)

  • Spotting between periods

  • Mild discomfort during insertion

  • Very rare chances of expulsion or infection
