Didn't we have this same question just a couple weeks back?

Dear members (Brooks, Marshall, James et al?)
 
A friend of mine who is a medical pathologist, has a sickly daughter who
uses a plastic contraceptive loop (not the old "Copper-T" contraceptive
loop).
 
She maintains that this plastic contraceptive loop works by creating a low
grade infection - so if a fertilized egg comes into contact with the loop,
it is infected and rendered useless. She says that no medical doctor will
tell you this, but this is apparently how this loop works.
 
The question is this: Will CS clean out the infection (I am certain it
would) and thus render the loop useless in its contraceptive function? . She
says she'd rather have her daughter sick than pregnant! (at this stage).
 
Can anyone shed more light on this?
 
Steve
