Which of the following is hormone releasing IUD?
Which of the following is hormone releasing IUD?
Options
- ACu -T
- BCu - 7
- CLNG - 20
- DMultiload 375
Correct answer
C. LNG - 20
Step-by-step solution
Intrauterine Devices (IUDs) are classified into three main types:
Non-medicated IUDs: e.g., Lippes loop.
Copper-releasing IUDs: e.g., CuT, Cu7, Multiload 375. These release copper ions which suppress sperm motility and the fertilising capacity of sperms.
Hormone-releasing IUDs: e.g., Progestasert, LNG-20. These release hormones that make the uterus unsuitable for implantation and the cervix hostile to the sperms.
Therefore, LNG-20 is a hormone-releasing IUD.
