How does copper t function?

The copper ions in the Copper T destroy the biochemical structures quickly by confounding the enzyme structures and making them useless. By interacting with the lipid bilayer of the cells, copper ions may also bore holes in the cell membranes, spilling the contents of the cells into the surrounding region.

When a Copper T is inserted, the copper ions separate from the coiled copper wire and affect the biochemistry around the uterus. The copper ions then leach into the uterine fluids and the cervical mucus. When these fluids come into touch with the sperm, the copper ions form the sperm’s shell.

Copper ions prevent the development of pregnancy by limiting sperm motility because copper-ion-containing fluids are directly harmful to the sperm. Even if the spermatozoa fertilises an egg, the copper ion-surrounded region inhibits the fertilised egg from implanting. Thus, pregnancy is prevented.

Effectiveness

The annual pregnancy rate of users of the Copper T is below 1%. During the first year of usage, the Copper T IUD outperforms most other IUDs, oral contraceptives, condoms, and barrier approaches.
