Therefore as long as the mother breast –feed the child fully, the chances of conception are almost nil .however this method is effective only up to six months following delivery.

BARRIER METHODS

Following are the barrier methods for the men and woman to block the meeting of sperm and ovum

1. Condoms These are made of thin rubber or latex. They are used to cover the penis in male or vagina and cervix in the female just before coitus to prevent the entry of semen into the female genital tract. 2. Diaphragms, cervical caps and vaults These are made of rubber that is inserted into the female reproductive tract to cover the cervix during coitus. They block the entry of sperms into the genital tract through the cervix.

3. Intra Uterine Devices (IUDs)

These devices are inserted in the uterus through vagina with the help of doctors or expert nurses. They are classified into  Non-medicated IUDs (eg : Lippes loop)

 Copper releasing IUDs (CuT, Cu7, Multiload 375)

 Hormone releasing IUDs Progestasert, LNG-20)

Mode of action of IUDs

 IUDs increase phagocytosis of sperms within the uterus and the Cu ions

released suppress sperm motility and the fertilising capacity of sperms.

 The hormone releasing IUDs make the uterus unsuitable for implantation

and the cervix hostile to the sperms.

4. Pills  These are available in the form of tablets containing either progestogens or progesterone –estrogen combinations.  These are taken daily for a period of 21 days starting within the first five days of menstrual cycle .after a gap of 7 days repeat the same pattern till the female desires to prevent pregnancy.
