what is copper-T ?why it is used ? is it effective ?if yes what are they ?

    It’s a small flexible piece of plastic that a health care provider puts in the woman’s uterus.It is shaped like a T and is wrapped with a thin copper wire.
 The Copper T prevents a woman from getting pregnant in two ways:
It is 99% effective.
    It makes the fluid in her cervix thick and sticky. This keeps a man’s sperm from getting inside her uterus and meeting an egg.
    The copper wire also kills sperm! If the sperm can’t meet the egg or are killed, she can’t get pregnant.
