Question

Which of the following is a disadvantage of IUD?

• A. Once IUD's are removed the female becomes fertile again
• B. Not effective against sexually transmitted disease
• C. Continuous protection provide for a long period
• D. None of the above
  

Answer 1

The correct option is B Not effective against sexually transmitted disease

Once the IUD is inserted, there is continuous protection against pregnancy for a long period and only once the IUD is removed the female becomes fertile again. However, the disadvantage is that, it is not a barrier for semen entry and therefore is not effective against sexually transmitted disease.
