Copper T Insertion

Copper T Insertion

Copper T Insertion is a form of birth control where a small, T-shaped device made of copper is placed inside the uterus to prevent pregnancy. The device, often called an IUD (intrauterine device), works by releasing tiny amounts of copper, which changes the environment of the uterus, making it difficult for sperm to fertilize an egg. It’s a long-term method that can work for up to 10 years and can be removed anytime if you decide you want to get pregnant.


Why is it Used?
Copper T is used by those looking for an effective, hormone-free contraceptive option. It’s a great choice for people who don’t want to worry about daily pills or frequent contraceptive methods.


Common Symptoms
    After insertion, some people may experience:
    Cramping or mild discomfort
    Spotting between periods
    Heavier periods, especially in the first few months
These symptoms usually settle down over time, but if they persist or are severe, you should consult a healthcare provider.


Treatment and Care
No special treatment is required for Copper T insertion, but regular check-ups can help ensure it stays in place. If discomfort continues or if there are signs of infection (like fever or unusual discharge), a doctor might adjust or remove it.
