Question

Progestasert and LNG20 are
A) Hormone releasing IUDs
B) Copper releasing IUDs
C) Non-medicated IUDs
D) None of the above

Answer 1

UIDs are intrauterine devices that appear in T-shaped made up of flexible plastic. It is inserted into the uterus where it releases progestin hormone called levonorgestrel. These can be used to reduce a woman’s menstrual bleeding and pain. Generally, it has been used to treat the symptoms related to endometriosis, adenomyosis and uterine fibroids.

Complete answer:
To answer this question you must know what progestagen and LNG20 are. Progestasert is a T-shaped intrauterine device made up of flexible plastic. It is a contraceptive device placed in the woman’s uterus and prevents pregnancy by continuously releasing a low dose of certain hormones called levonorgestrel and LNG20 are also hormone-releasing UIDs that increase phagocytosis of sperm with the uterus and make the uterus unsuitable for implantation.

Copper releasing UIDs release small amounts of copper inside the uterine which help to prevent the sperm from reaching the ovary. Examples of copper releasing IUDs are multiload-375.
Non-medicated IUDs (lippes loop) also known as inert IUDs made up of plastic or stainless steel only that release copper and examples of non medicated IUDs are CuT, Cu 7.

As progestagen and LNG-20 are the examples of hormone-releasing IUDs, therefore, the correct answer to the given Question is (A) hormone-releasing IUDs.

Note: The hormonal IUD provides women with an option for reliable long–term birth control that does not require maintenance to remain effective. It is also used to prevent endometrial hyperplasia, abnormal growth of cells in the lining of the uterus and help to protect against endometrial cancer. Hormonal IUDs are considered long–term reversible birth control because they can remain effective for three to five years and they can be easily removed, and once removed, fertility returns within months.
