Read the following statements carefully: (A) LNG-20 makes the cervix hostile to sperms. (B) 'Saheli' is a steroidal oral contraceptive pill that needs to be taken daily. (C) CuT suppresses sperm motility and the fertilising capacity of sperms. (D) Lippes loop is a hormone-releasing IUD that prevents ovulation. How many of the above statements are correct?

Step-by-step solution

Statement (A) is correct: LNG-20 is a hormone-releasing IUD, which makes the uterus unsuitable for implantation and the cervix hostile to sperms. Statement (B) is incorrect: 'Saheli' is a non-steroidal oral contraceptive preparation and it is a 'once a week' pill, not a daily pill. Statement (C) is correct: CuT is a copper-releasing IUD. The copper ions released suppress sperm motility and the fertilising capacity of sperms. Statement (D) is incorrect: Lippes loop is a non-medicated IUD, not a hormone-releasing one
