Answers (1)

Ans.

Various ways to avoid pregnancy:

Natural methods
(a) Periodic abstinence - abstain from sexual intercourse during the fertile period (10-17 days of the menstrual cycle)
(b) Lactational amenorrhea - ovulation generally will not occur during the period of intense lactation.

Barrier methods
(a) Condoms - made of thin rubber latex sheath, prevent ejaculated sperms from reaching the uterus.
(b) Other barrier methods are diaphragms, cervical caps, and vaults

Intrauterine devices – These are devices inserted into the uterus by doctors or trained nurses through the vagina. These are of different types such as non-medicated (lippies loop), copper-releasing (Cu T, multi-load 375), and hormone-releasing (Progestasert, LNG-20).

Oral contraceptive pills – Oral administration of small doses of progesterone – estrogen combination in the form of pills, eg. Saheli.

Surgical methods - Vasectomy (vas deferens are cut and tied ensuring the absence of sperms in semen), tubectomy (fallopian tubes are cut and tied preventing ovum from reaching the uterus).
