Detailed Solution

The Intra Uterine Device (IUD) is a small ‘T’ shaped device with a monofilament tail that is inserted into the uterus by a health care practitioner. It increases phagocytosis of sperm within the uterus and the copper ion released suppresses sperm motility and fertilising capacity of sperms.
