Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Male contraceptives work by interfering with sperm production or delivery, that means they inhibit the spermatogenesis as well as the function of male sex hormone testosterone. LH and FSH (both called gonadotropic hormone are secreted from anterior pituitary) have specific functions in the testis. FSH stimulates male germ cells for spermatogenesis and LH stimulates accessory cells, called leydig cells to produce sex steroids, especially testosterone. Thus, these two hormones (FSH and LH) prevent male contraception.

Concepts Used:
Birth Control
The execution of different methods or tools which may include drugs, surgical procedures in either males, females, or both to prevent conception is known as birth control.
Types of Birth Control Methods:
There are different types of birth control methods such as;
- The natural way of birth control
- The barrier method
- The Hormonal method
- Intrauterine devices or IUD
- Other surgical methods
Side effects of contraception:
- Every type of contraception has side effects.
- For females, the IUD has the least intensity of side effects. It is a long-term method that can be taken out at any time.
- For males, the most common, cheapest, and very easy to use is the male condom. The only drawback, it is not 100% efficient in preventing pregnancy.
