    (i) First Trimester: First 3 months
    (ii) Second Trimester: 4th to 6th months
    (iii) Third Trimester: 6th to 9th months
  • MTP is considered safe up to the first trimester so, 6, 8, 12 weeks would be okay, but 18 weeks comes under the second trimester and MTP at this stage would be a huge risk for mother.

Thus, the MTP Act allows for the termination of pregnancy up to 12 weeks of pregnancy.

Which one of the following is the most widely accepted method of contraception in India, as at present? [2011]

Detailed Solution for 31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Reproductive Health - Question 16

4 IUDs (Intra-Uterine Devices)

Intra-Uterine Devices (IUDs) are a type of contraception that involves the insertion of a small device into the uterus. IUDs are a highly effective and long-lasting method of contraception, and they are widely accepted in India as a reliable and convenient option. IUDs can remain in place for several years and do not require daily maintenance or attention.

Cervical caps and diaphragms are types of barriers that are placed over the cervix to prevent sperm from entering the uterus. These methods are less effective and less widely used in India.

Tubectomy is a permanent form of contraception that involves the surgical removal or blocking of the fallopian tubes. This method is also less widely used in India due to the irreversible nature of the procedure.

Topic in NCERT: IUDs (CUT, Cu7, Multiload 375) and the hormone releasing IUDs

Line in NCERT: "IUDs are ideal contraceptives for the females who want to delay pregnancy and/or space children. It is one of most widely accepted methods of contraception in India."

(iii) Intrauterine devices like copper-T are effective contraceptives.
(iv) Contraception pills may be taken up to one week after coitus to prevent conception.

Which two of the above statements are CORRECT? [2008]

Detailed Solution for 31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Reproductive Health - Question 18

 

  • Medical termination of pregnancy (MTP) or abortion is a type of non-surgical abortion in which pharmaceutical drugs are used to induce abortion. An oral preparation for medical abortion is commonly referred to as an abortion pill. Medication abortion regimens can be safely and effectively used throughout the first 49 days of pregnancy. 
  • The copper IUD is the most effective form of emergency contraception. Copper IUDs actually prevent fertilization by reducing the number and viability of sperm reaching the egg, and by impeding the number and movement of eggs into the uterus.

Hence, the correct option is C.
