Question

Which among the following is commonly called withdrawal method?
(a) Lactational amenorrhoea
(b) Coitus interruptus
(c) Periodic abstinence
(d) Rhythm method

Answer 1

Answer:

(b) Coitus interruptus

Answer 2

Answer:

Option (b) Coitus interruptus

Explanation:

• The coitus interruptus is also known as the withdrawal method. It is a natural method of contraception that refers to the practice of withdrawing the penis from the vagina and away from a women's external genitals before ejaculation to avoid insemination.

• This method is also called "pulling out" which is adapted to prevent the semen from entering the vagina. Thereby, preventing pregnancy.

Thus option (b) is correct.

• Lactational amenorrhoea is a natural method based on the effect of breastfeeding as birth control.

Thus option (a) is incorrect.

• Periodic abstinence is a natural contraception method to avoid coitus or coupling from day 10 to 17 of the menstrual cycle-the time when ovulation could be expected.

Thus option (c) is incorrect.

• The rhythm method is a birth control method, which is believed to be the least effective method. It is otherwise known as the calendar rhythm method based on menstrual history records.

Thus option (d) is incorrect.

Hence option (b) is the correct answer.
