Question

Which of the following approaches does not give the defined action of contraception?

• A. Barrier method - Prevent fertilisation
• B. Hormonal Contraceptive - Prevent/retard entry of sperms, prevent ovulation and fertilisation
• C. Intrauterine devices - Increase phagocytosis of sperms, suppress sperm motility and fertilising capacity of sperms
• D. Vasectomy - Prevents spermatogenesis

Answer 1

The correct option is D Vasectomy - Prevents spermatogenesis

Vasectomy

Vasectomy is the surgical method of irreversible contraception in males where vas deferens is cut and tied to prevent the transport of sperm outside the male body.

Vasectomy does not prevent the production of sperms (spermatogenesis). Hence, the pair “Vasectomy-prevents spermatogenesis” is matched incorrectly.
