Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are the devices used for contraception. There devices are inserted by the doctors into the uterus through vagina. There are three types of IUDs:

ii) Copper releasing IUDs: Along with phagocytosis of the sperms, the copper ions released, suppress the sperm motility and its fertilizing capacity, 𝑒.𝑔., Cu-T, Cu-7, multiload-375.
