Serum Copper in Long-Term Users of Copper Intrauterine Devices

Fertility and Sterility, 1980
A study was undertaken to determine whether long-term use of a copper intrauterine device (IUD) was associated with any alteration in the serum copper levels and thereby whether absorption of copper from the device in utero could result in copper toxicity.

Intrauterine device and maternal copper metabolism during lactation☆

Contraception, 2001
The effects of intrauterine device (IUD) on maternal copper (Cu) metabolism during breastfeeding was studied in 95 volunteer mothers who chose to use non-hormonal contraceptive methods. They were divided into two groups that were inserted with the IUD-Cu 380A (n = 33), IUD-Cu 200B (n = 29), and a third group that did not use any IUDs served as control (

Appendiceal perforation by Copper-7 intrauterine contraceptive device

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1981
PIP: Uterine perforation is known to be associated with IUD use. Usually the perforation occurs upon insertion, but the IUD can become embedded in the uterus and later be forced through the wall by uterine contractions. On occasion, IUDs have been noted in abdominal viscera, most often the sigmoid colon.

Local tissue effects of copper-containing intrauterine devices

Fertility and Sterility, 2003
Our findings indicate that during the increase of the local copper ion flux the copper ions form a complex with the reagent dithizone and penetrate the region around the cells or the cells themselves. According to our hypothesis not only the presence of an IUD but also copper ions damage the endometrium. A trace amount of copper ions that enter locally

Reactive molecules and microorganisms and copper intrauterine devices

International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, 2005
Copper in the intrauterine device (IUD) has been shown to have bactericidal activity in addition to enhancing contraceptive activity. However the exact mechanism of antimicrobial action of copper IUD is not known. The increase in the number of polymorphonuclear leukocytes in the endometrium following IUD insertion has been documented.

Hair copper in intrauterine copper device users.

IRCS journal of medical science, 1984
The antifertility effect of copper-bearing IUDs is based on continuous release of copper, which is a result of the reaction between the metal and the uterine secretions. Released cupric ions collect in the endometrium and in the uterine fluid but significant accumulation has not been found in the bloodstream or elsewhere. Following Laker's suggestion
