How effective is Copper T

October 10, 2008



If you are searching for an ideal method of contraception, you certainly need to realise the merits of Copper T 380A intrauterine device (IUD), commonly referred to as Copper T.

It is one of the most effective and long-acting contraceptives that are reversible. It can be used a means of contraception for a maximum period of ten years. Copper IUDs effectively bring down the number of sperm cells that reach the uterus. It also obstructs the free passage of eggs into the womb. Thus, by no way, does Copper T encourage fertilisation. The device, through the continuous release of copper from the coils and sleeves of the Copper T 380A into the cavity effectively performs its function. This method is becoming more and more popular because of its high success rate. Only one percent of women who induce the metal get pregnant. Copper T 380A IUD is found to be more effective than other methods of contraception like oral contraceptives, condoms and other barrier methods.

The greatest advantage of Copper T is that it can be easily reversed once the device is removed. However, the extent of its popularity varies from country to country. Before the purchase of IUD, it should be ensured that the pack is not damaged and the date of expiry has not been crossed. Women who have one child and are not under the threat of pelvic inflammatory disease are the ideal lot on which this contraception can be induced. However, Copper T 380A IUDs do not offer protection from sexually transmitted diseases.

Pregnant women and those who have already inserted one Copper T device should not opt for another one. Women with genital tract irregularities and are allergic to copper also should not use it. Menstrual irregularities and prolonged bleeding are the common side effects that are commonly found in women who choose Copper T as their means of contraception.
