Question

Choose the right one among the statements given below

$IUDs$ are generally inserted by the user herself

$IUDs$ increase phagocytosis reaction in the uterus

$IUDs$ suppress gametogenesis

$IUDs$ once inserted need not be replaced

Answer

$IUDs$ increase phagocytosis reaction in the uterus

Explanation

Solution

Copper releasing $IUDs (CuT$ , multiload) increase phagocytosis of sperms within the uterus and the $Cu$ ions released suppress sperm motility and the fertilising capacity of sperms. $IUDs$ are inserted and removed by trained doctors. $IUDs$ , once inserted can be there for a long period of time (even years). But eventually they need to be removed and replaced, as they are foreign to the body. Fertility returns, once $IUDs$ are removed.
