Question

Which of the following approaches does not give the defined action of contraceptive?

A

Intra uterine devices - Increase phagocytosis of sperms, suppress sperm motility and fertilising capacity of sperms

B

Hormonal contraceptives - Prevent/ retard entry of sperms, prevent ovulation and fertilisation

C

Vasectomy - Prevents spermatogenesis

D

Barrier methods - Prevent fertilisation

Step-by-Step Solution

Vasectomy is a surgical method of sterilisation where a small part of the vas deferens is removed or tied up. This intervention works by blocking gamete transport and thereby preventing conception . It does not prevent spermatogenesis (sperm production); sperm are still produced but are prevented from entering the semen. The other options are correctly matched: IUDs increase phagocytosis and suppress motility , hormonal contraceptives inhibit ovulation and retard sperm entry , and barrier methods prevent the physical meeting of gametes .
