Question

List any 2 contraceptive methods practiced only by women. Mention how these methods

work.

Answer 1

(a) Oral pills - change hormonal balance so that eggs are not released.

(b) Loop/copper T- placed in the uterus. Prevents pregnancy

Answer 2

Oral contraceptive pill - contains oestrogen and progesterone to chemically stop ovulation.

Barrier method- Femidom - a female condom worn in the vagina to prevent sperm entering the body.

Contraceptive implant- implanted under the skin and lasts for up to 5 years works the same as the oral version.

Coil - this is placed inside the uterus, it is made from copper or plastic and prevents an egg implanting, they may also have hormones as a double safety measure.
