Question

Select the hormone-releasing intrauterine devices.

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

Answer 1

The correct option is D Progestasert, LNG-20

Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are inserted by medical experts in the uterus through vagina.

Progestasert and LNG-20 are hormone releasing IUDs. They make the uterus unsuitable for implantation and the cervix hostile to the sperms.

Multiload 375 is a copper releasing IUD. It releases copper ions and help in contraception by decreasing sperm motility.

Lippes loop is a double S shaped inert flexible plastic loop and does not contain any hormone. It is a non-medicated IUD.

Vaults are contraceptives used by women to cover the cervix during coitus. They block the entry of the sperms and thus prevent conception.
