Reproductive Health MCQs

In vitro fertilisation (IVF)—fertilisation outside the body—followed by embryo transfer (ET) is the method popularly known as the test tube baby programme.

In ZIFT, or zygote intra fallopian transfer, the zygote or early embryos (with up to 8 blastomeres) are transferred into the fallopian tube.

GIFT, or gamete intra fallopian transfer, is a method where an ovum collected from a donor is transferred into the fallopian tube of another female who cannot produce one.

ICSI is a specialised procedure to form an embryo in the laboratory in which a sperm is directly injected into the ovum.

Infertility cases due to the male partner's inability to inseminate the female or due to very low sperm counts can be corrected by the artificial insemination (AI) technique.

In the IUI (intra-uterine insemination) technique, semen collected from the husband or a healthy donor is artificially introduced into the uterus of the female.

The statutory ban on amniocentesis for sex-determination is intended to legally check the increasing menace of female foeticides.

Diaphragms, cervical caps, and vaults are barrier methods for females made of rubber. They are reusable. Condoms, in contrast, are disposable.

The most important step to overcome the problem of rapid population growth is to motivate smaller families by using various contraceptive methods.

Advertisements in the media, as well as posters, showed a happy couple with two children with the slogan Hum Do Hamare Do (we two, our two) to motivate smaller families.
