    B)  copper releasing lUDs

    C)  ideal contraceptive

    D)  non-medicated lUDs.

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    : Intrauterine Contraceptive Devices (ILJCDs or ILJDs) are effective and popular methods of contraception. These are inserted by doctors or expert nurses in the uterus through vagina. These devices are presently available as the non-medicated ILJDs (e.g., Lippes loop), copper releasing lUDs (CuT, Cu7, Multiload 375) and the hormone releasing ILJDs (Progestasert, LNG-20). ILJDs increase phagocytosis of sperms within the uterus and the Cu ions released suppress sperm motility and the fertilising capacity of sperms. The hormone releasing ILJDs make the uterus unsuitable for implantation and the cervix hostile to the sperms. ILJDs are ideal contraceptives for the females.
