Question

Oral contraceptives:

• A. inhibit ovulation
• B. alter the quality of cervical mucus to prevent/retard entry of sperms
• C. inhibit implantation
• D. All of these

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of these

Oral contraceptives are also known as birth control pills. They usually contain progestogen or combination of both progestogen and estrogen. These pills work by inhibiting follicular development, prevent ovulation and implantation. They also alter the cervical environment by thickening the mucus, thus retarding the sperms from reaching the upper genital tract.
