Solution
IUDs increase phagocytosis reaction in the uterus.
Explanation:
Intrauterine devices (IUDs) increase the phagocytosis of sperms within the uterus. This means that they promote the activity of phagocytic cells that engulf and destroy sperm, thus preventing fertilization. Additionally, copper-releasing IUDs release copper ions that suppress sperm motility and fertilizing capacity, making them effective contraceptives to delay pregnancy or space children.
