The correct answer is:
1 2 3
Lippes loop Cu-7, Cu T, Multiload 375 Progestasert, LNG-20
Types of IUDs :

I. Non-medicated IUDs: Lippes loop.

II. Copper releasing IUDs: CuT, Cu7, Multiload 375.

III. Hormone releasing IUDs: Progestasert, LNG-20.


Mechanism: IUDs induce the contraceptive effect by following mechanisms.

a. IUDs promote the phagocytosis of sperms within the uterus.

b. Cu ions released suppress the sperm motility and the fertilising capacity of sperms.

c. IUDs also make the uterus unfavourable for implantation and the cervix hostile to the sperms.
