Detailed Solution

Progestogens are a class of synthetic hormones that are commonly used in various hormonal contraceptives, such as pills, implants, and injectables. Though some IUDs contain progestogens, ‘progestogens’ do not represent a type of IUD.

(2) Multiload 375 is an Intra Uterine Device (IUD) used for contraception. It is a T-shaped device made of plastic with copper wire wrapped around it. The copper in the IUD creates a hostile environment for sperm, preventing fertilisation.

(3) Lippes loop is a non-medicated Intra Uterine Device (IUD) used for contraception. It is a flexible plastic trapezoidal double “S” loop IUD. It interferes with sperm movement preventing fertilisation.

(4) Progestasert is an Intra Uterine Device (IUD) that contains a hormone releasing progestin. It is a T-shaped IUD that releases a continuous low dose of progestin, which thickens cervical mucus, interferes with sperm function, and thins the uterine lining, reducing the likelihood of implantation.
