Reproductive Health – Problems and Strategies; Amniocentesis
-
Amniocentesis for sex determination is one of the strategies of Reproductive and Child Health Care Programme.Reason: Ban on amniocentesis checks increasing menace of female foeticide.
Amniocentesis for sex determination is banned, not a strategy of the RCH programme.
Amniocentesis involves removal of some of the amniotic fluid that bathes the developing foetus and analysing the foetal cells and dissolved substances. It can be done to detect genetic disorders, chromosomal abnormalities, biochemical defects, etc. It can also reveal a baby's gender. Statutory ban on amniocentesis for sex-determination has been done to legally check increasing menace of female foeticides. Its application of sex determination is not one of the strategies of Reproductive and Child Health Care Programme.

Column II
- I. Oral method
- II. Barrier method
- III. Surgical method
- IV. Natural method
Correct answer: A → III, B → IV, C → II, D → I
Vasectomy is surgical, coitus interruptus natural, cervical caps barrier and Saheli oral.
Vasectomy is a surgical method of contraception in males. In vasectomy, a small part of the vas deferens is removed or tied up through a small incision on the scrotum. Although sperm production continues in the testes, sperm can no longer reach the exterior. The sperm degenerate and are destroyed by phagocytosis. Withdrawal or coitus interruptus is one of the natural methods of contraception in which the male partner withdraws his penis from the vagina just before ejaculation so as to avoid insemination. Cervical caps are barriers that fit snugly over the cervix and block sperm from entering the uterus. Saheli – the new oral contraceptive for the females contains a non-steroidal preparation. It is a 'once a week' pill with very few side effects and high contraceptive value.
