A woman asks what a copper intrauterine device mainly does to prevent pregnancy. Which explanation is correct?
Correct answer: A. It releases copper that impairs sperm and fertilisation
- A. It releases copper that impairs sperm and fertilisation
- B. It suppresses ovulation by releasing daily oestrogen
- C. It blocks the fallopian tubes through permanent scarring
- D. It prevents pregnancy by treating a uterine infection
Explanation
Copper creates a local contraceptive effect that impairs sperm movement and function and reduces the likelihood of fertilisation. It is not a hormonal ovulation suppressant, a sterilisation procedure, or a treatment for infection.
