Question

As a volunteer for an awareness programme in rural areas, you have been asked to design a poster on sexual health, highlighting birth control options available to males.

What two contraceptive methods for males will you highlight in the poster that have negligible chances of failure? Mention the working principle for each method.

Answer 1

1. Condom: It acts as a physical barrier and prevents the sperm from entering the female reproductive tract, thereby preventing fertilisation.
2. Vasectomy: In this method the vas deferens are cut and tied, so sperms are not released in the semen, and hence fertilisation cannot occur.
