Lactational amenorrhea

Vedclass · Answer

(B) The method described is $Lactational 	ext{ } amenorrhea$. It is a natural method of contraception based on the biological fact that ovulation does not occur during the period of intense lactation following parturition. As long as the mother breastfeeds the child fully, the levels of prolactin remain high, which inhibits the release of gonadotropins ($FSH$ and $LH$), thereby preventing ovulation. This method is effective only up to a maximum period of $6$ months following parturition.

$(A)$ Pills	$(i)$ Prevents sperm from reaching the cervix
$(B)$ Condom	$(ii)$ Prevents implantation
$(C)$ Vasectomy	$(iii)$ Inhibits ovulation
$(D)$ Copper-$T$	$(iv)$ Semen contains no sperm

This method is based on the fact that as long as the mother breastfeeds the child fully, the chances of conception are almost zero. Identify the method.
