Question

Hormone releasing Intra Uterine Device is:

• A. Lippes loop
• B. LNG-20
• C. Multiload 375
• D. Cu 7

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The hormone-releasing intrauterine device (IUD) functions by releasing hormones to prevent pregnancy, differentiating it from other types of IUDs that may operate using copper. Out of the given options: 

• Lippes loop: This is an older form of IUD made of plastic, which does not release hormones. Hence, it is not a hormone-releasing IUD.
• Multiload 375: This is a copper-based IUD that prevents pregnancy by using copper's spermicidal effect, not hormone release.
• Cu 7: This is another copper-bearing IUD characterized by its T-shape and copper components, also not involving hormone release.
• LNG-20: This is the correct option. LNG-20 is a hormone-releasing IUD that releases levonorgestrel, a type of progestin, which contributes to preventing pregnancy through mechanisms such as thickening cervical mucus and inhibiting sperm mobility.

Therefore, the correct answer among the options provided is LNG-20.

Answer 2

The Hormone Releasing Intra Uterine Device (IUD) is a type of IUD that releases hormones to prevent pregnancy. The correct answer is:

(2) LNG-20: The LNG-20 is a hormone-releasing intrauterine device that releases Levonorgestrel (LNG), a synthetic progestin, into the uterus to prevent pregnancy. It is designed for long-term contraception.

Here’s a brief explanation of the other options:

(1) Lippes loop: This is a non-hormonal IUD that works through a mechanical mechanism and does not release hormones.

(3) Multiload 375: This is another non-hormonal IUD that uses copper as its active ingredient for contraception.

(4) Cu 7: This is also a copper-based IUD and does not release hormones.

Thus, the correct answer is (2) LNG-20.
