Question

A contraceptive technique that increases phagocytosis of sperms within the uterus is:

• A. use of copper T
• B. use of condoms
• C. surgery
• D. use of oral contraceptives

Answer 1

Answer:

A. use of copper T

The copper T contraceptive device increases the phagocytosis of sperms in the uterus, reducing the chance of fertilization. ParaGard is a T-shaped plastic frame with copper wire coiled around it. A healthcare professional places the device into the uterus. The copper affects sperm function and movement. This helps keep sperm from reaching the uterus and joining with an egg, also called fertilization.
