The Correct Option is A

Approach Solution - 1

Intra uterine devices (IUDs) are plastic or metal objects which are inserted by doctors in the uterus through vagina. These are available as non-medicated IUDs (i.e., Lippes loop), copper releasing IUDs (CuT, Cu7, Multiload 375) and hormone releasing IUDs (progestasert, LNG-20). IUDs increase phagocytosis of sperms within the uterus and the Cu ions released by some suppress sperm motility and fertilizing capacity of the sperms. Cervical cap is a miniature diaphragm that covers cervix closely. It is fairly effective and can remain in place longer than diaphragm. Vault cap is hemispheric dome like rubber or plastic cap with a thick rim which is meant for fitting over the vaginal vault over the cervix.

Approach Solution -2

First, we need to know about the IUD. An intrauterine device (IUD) also called an intrauterine contraceptive device or small coil is mostly a T-shaped birth control gadget that is injected into the uterus to control pregnancy. IUDs are LARC (long-acting reversible birth control). Research gives the information that female family planning givers select the LARC process usually (41.6%) more than the normal public (12.1%). Among all the birth control processes, IUDs, besides contraceptive implants, are the most acceptable by users.

 

Now, the answer is:

 Lippes loop is IUD impregnated which includes barium sulfate.

 Copper-eliminating IUDs, like CuT, Cu7, Multiload 375, etc, secrete copper that inhibits sperm movement which ultimately decreases its fertilizing capability.

 LNG-20 is IUD that excretes levonorgestrel (LNG), causes endometrial atrophy, and alters the stroma to inhibit implantation. It also boosts sperm phagocytosis in the uterus.

 

Thus, the correct option is A: LNG-20.

Approach Solution -3

The hormone-releasing IUDs are LNG-20. It acts as a contraceptive by making the cervix hostile to sperm and the uterus unsuitable for implantation.

 

IUD - Intra Uterine Devices

Contraceptive - Ptrvrnts pregnancy.

Hormone: Progestesert  and LNG-20

  1. Make the uterus unsuitable for implantation.

  2. Make the cervix hostile to the sperm.

 

The correct option will be (A) LNG -20.

Reproductive Health

  • The biological process by which a new individual or an offspring is produced from a parent or parents that are biologically similar or identical is known as reproduction. It is the elemental trait of all known forms of life. In fact, each and every individual have life because of reproduction.
  • The state or position of male and female reproductive systems during their lifetime refers to their reproductive health. The system comprises organs and glands, including the pituitary gland in our brain, which are responsible for the production and release of hormones.
  • In other words, reproductive health can be described as a state of physical, mental, and social well-being in all aspects relating to the reproductive system. It includes the liberation and appropriate capacity to reproduce as and when one decides to do so, apart from having a safe and satisfying sex life.
