Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vasectomy and tubal ligation are considered permanent contraceptive methods as they involve surgically blocking the tubes through which gametes (sperm and egg) travel, preventing fertilization from occurring. The other options listed are not permanent methods of contraception. The male and female condoms are barrier methods that prevent fertilization by enclosing the penis or lining the vagina to prevent sperm from reaching the egg. Oral contraceptives and subcutaneous progesterone implants are hormonal methods that prevent fertilization by inhibiting ovulation or thickening cervical mucus to prevent sperm from reaching the egg. The diaphragm is also a barrier method that prevents sperm from reaching the egg but it is not considered a permanent method of contraception.
