A Copper T is a type of intrauterine device (IUD) used for long-term birth control. It is a small, T-shaped device made of plastic and copper that is inserted into the uterus by a healthcare professional. The copper acts as a spermicide, preventing fertilization by creating an environment that is toxic to sperm. Key features of Copper T: Effective lifespan: Typically lasts 5–10 years, depending on the model. Non-hormonal: Suitable for individuals who prefer hormone-free contraception. Reversible: Fertility returns quickly after removal. It’s highly effective, with a success rate of over 99%, but may cause side effects like heavier periods or cramps in some users.
