Question

Which of the following statements is INCORRECT about Nirodh?

• A. Protect the user from contracting AIDS
• B. They are used for conception
• C. They are used just before coitus so that ejaculated semen would not enter female reproductive tract.
• D. They are made of thin rubber sheath.

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Nirodh is the most popular brand of condom which is available in the market. It is a barrier method of contraception. They are usually made up of thin rubber sheath or latex. They are used to cover the tip of the penis, just before the coitus. This prevents the ejaculated semen from entering the female reproductive tract. Apart from acting as a contraceptive, condoms also act as a protection against STDs like AIDS.
Conception is the process of formation of a zygote by the union of sperm and ovum. Condoms like Nirodh prevent conception.
