• A. Vaults, LNG-20
• B. Multiload 375, Progestasert
• C. Progestasert, LNG-20
• D. Lippes Loop, Multiload 375

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Progestasert, LNG-20

The correct option is C.

The explanation for the correct option:

1. Intra Uterine Devices (IUDs) are inserted by doctors or nurses in the uterus
2. The hormone-releasing IUD are progestagen, LNG-20
3. The hormone-releasing IUDs make implantation difficult and the cervix hostile to the sperm.
4. Hormonal IUDs release synthetic progesterone.
   

The explanation for the incorrect option:

Option A

1. Vaults are female condoms.
2. It's a barrier method.
3. They are inserted into the female reproductive tract to cover the cervix during coitus.

5. LNG-20 is the hormone-releasing IUD.
6. The hormone-releasing IUDs make implantation become challenging and the cervix adversely affects the entry of the sperms.

Option B

1. Multiload 375 are copper-releasing IUDs.
2. The Cu ions released slow down sperm motility and the fertilizing capacity of sperm.
3. Progestasert is the hormone-releasing IUD.
4. Implantation becomes hard and the cervix resists the entry of the sperms in presence of hormone-releasing IUDs.
5. Artificial progesterone is released from hormonal IUDs.

Option D

1. Non-medicated IUDs are Lippes loop.
2. Lippes loop draws the macrophages causing phagocytosis of sperm.
3. They are bigger in size.
4. Copper-releasing IUDs is Multiload 375.
5. The Cu ions released delay sperm movement and the fertilizing ability of sperm.

Final answer: The hormone-releasing IUD are progestagen, LNG-20
