Which one of the following is the most widely accepted method of contraception in India, as at present?
A
IUDs (Intra uterine devices)
B
Cervical caps
C
Tubectomy
D
Diaphragms
Detailed Solution
Intra uterine devices are inserted by doctors or trained nurses into the uterus through the vagina.
They are non-medicated (Lippes loop), copper-releasing (CuT, Cu7, Multiload 375) or hormone-releasing (Progestasert, LNG-20).
They increase phagocytosis of sperms in the uterus; Cu ions suppress sperm motility and fertilising capacity, and hormone-releasing IUDs make the uterus unsuitable for implantation and the cervix hostile to sperms.
NCERT states that IUDs are ideal contraceptives for females who want to delay pregnancy or space children, and that it is one of the most widely accepted methods of contraception in India.
Hence the most widely accepted method is IUDs.
