Which one of the following is NOT a draw back of intra-uterine devices (IUDs) for birth control?

Options

  1. AIt may be expelled spontaneously.
  2. BIt leads to permanent infertility.
  3. CIt may cause occasional haemorrhage.
  4. DIt may cause infection.

Correct answer

B. It leads to permanent infertility.

Step-by-step solution

Intra-uterine devices (IUDs) are a popular and effective reversible method of contraception. The common drawbacks or side effects of IUDs include spontaneous expulsion, occasional haemorrhage (bleeding), and the risk of pelvic infection. IUDs do not cause permanent infertility; normal fertility is restored promptly after the removal of the device. Therefore, the statement that it leads to permanent infertility is incorrect and is not a drawback of IUDs. Answer: It leads to permanent infertility.
