Correct Answer - Option 4 : Hormonal

Concept:

  • The devices that are used to prevent unwanted pregnancies are called Birth control devices or Contraceptives.
  • Various Contraceptive methods are:
  1. Natural/traditional methods
  2. Barrier methods - Condoms, Diaphragms, Cervical caps
  3. Intra uterine devices (IUDs) - Lippes loop, Copper T, Copper 7
  4. Oral/ Hormonal contraceptives - Saheli
  5. Injectables and Implants 
  6. Surgical Methods - Vasectomy & Tubectomy

Explanation:

  • The Hormonal contraceptive method prevents ovulation
  • The oral pill contains hormonal preparations of either progestogens or progestogen-estrogen combination
  • They inhibit ovulation and implantation as well as the alter quality of cervical mucus to prevent the entry of sperms. Eg. The Saheli pill developed by CDRI, Lucknow

 Barrier contraceptive method 

  • Condoms are barriers made of thin rubber/latex sheath used to cover the penis in the male or vagina and cervix in females.
  • It prevents the deposition of ejaculated semen into the vagina of the female.
  • Condoms are generally used by males.

Surgical contraceptive method 

  • For Men: Vasectomy, this method blocks sperm from moving into your semen. Many couples choose it because it works. Vasectomies have a 99% success rate in preventing pregnancy.
  • It's also simple and safe. You can do it in a doctor's office and it only takes 15-30 minutes. The risks, like infection and bleeding, are low.
  • For Women: Tubal Ligation, in this procedure, a surgeon closes off the fallopian tubes, which carry eggs from the ovaries to the uterus.
  • It works and it's safe, but there are some risks, like bleeding, infection, damage to other organs, side effects from anesthesia, and ectopic pregnancy -- when a fertilized egg stays in the fallopian tube.

Natural contraceptive method 

  • Natural methods work on the principle of avoiding chances of ovum and sperms meeting.
  • Periodic abstinence is one such method in which the couples avoid or abstain from coitus from day 10 to 17 of the menstrual cycle when ovulation could be expected.
  • As chances of fertilization are very high during this period, it is called the fertile period. Therefore, by abstaining from coitus during this period, conception could be prevented.
