Which of the following is NOT a permanent method of birth control?
Vasectomy
Tubal ligation
Hormonal implants
Hysterectomy
Hormonal implants, such as the contraceptive implant (e.g., Nexplanon), are a long-acting reversible method of birth control. These small devices are inserted under the skin and release hormones to prevent pregnancy. While hormonal implants can provide effective contraception for several years, they are not considered permanent methods because they can be removed, allowing for the possibility of future pregnancy. On the other hand, vasectomy and tubal ligation are permanent methods of birth control, while hysterectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of the uterus, and is not typically used as a method of birth control.
Option 3 is the correct answer.
