NEET 2025 MCQ with Answer Explanation : “Reproductive Health”.

Here below some basic MCQ (Multiple Choice Question) of reproductive health with answer. Which is explained in details. Let’s check one by one.

1. Which of the following is an advantage of oral contraceptive pills?
   A. Increases fertility
   B. Protects against STIs
   C. Suppresses ovulation
   D. Increases menstrual bleeding

Answer: C. Suppresses ovulation

Explanation: Oral contraceptive pills contain hormones (estrogen and progestin) that prevent ovulation. They make the cervical mucus thicker and the endometrium less receptive, preventing sperm from reaching the egg. However, they do not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and in fact, bleeding often becomes lighter with their use, not heavier.

2. Which of the following is an assisted reproductive technology (ART) technique?
   A. GIFT
   B. IVF
   C. ZIFT
   D. All of the above

Answer: D. All of the above

Explanation: All of these are ART techniques:

GIFT (Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer): Sperm and eggs are placed into the fallopian tube.
IVF (In Vitro Fertilization): Eggs are fertilized outside the body and the embryo is transferred into the uterus.
ZIFT (Zygote Intrafallopian Transfer): Fertilization occurs outside the body, but the zygote is placed in the fallopian tube.

3. The function of the lactational amenorrhea method (LAM) is primarily based on:
   A. Preventing sperm production
   B. Inhibiting ovulation
   C. Reducing implantation rate
   D. Changing uterine pH

Answer: B. Inhibiting ovulation

Explanation: Lactational amenorrhea method (LAM) is a natural form of contraception that works by inhibiting ovulation during the period of breastfeeding. The high levels of prolactin hormone during breastfeeding suppress the release of GnRH, thereby preventing the ovulation cycle.

4. Which of the following diseases is caused by a viral pathogen?
   A. Gonorrhea
   B. Syphilis
   C. Genital Herpes
   D. Trichomoniasis

Answer: C. Genital Herpes

Explanation: Genital herpes is caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV), a viral pathogen. In contrast, gonorrhea and syphilis are caused by bacteria, while trichomoniasis is caused by a protozoan parasite.

5. Which of the following is NOT a permanent method of contraception?
   A. Vasectomy
   B. Tubectomy
   C. Copper-T
   D. None of the above

Answer: C. Copper-T

Explanation: Vasectomy (in males) and Tubectomy (in females) are permanent methods of sterilization. Copper-T, however, is a long-term reversible contraceptive (Intrauterine Device, IUD) that prevents fertilization by releasing copper ions, which are toxic to sperm.

6. What is the primary benefit of using condoms?
   A. They provide protection against all infections.
   B. They reduce the chances of pregnancy and STIs.
   C. They increase sperm mobility.
   D. They alter the female menstrual cycle.

Answer: B. They reduce the chances of pregnancy and STIs.

Explanation: Condoms are effective in reducing the chances of pregnancy by creating a physical barrier that prevents sperm from entering the uterus. Additionally, condoms provide protection against sexually transmitted infections (STIs), unlike many other contraceptive methods that do not protect against infections.

7. Which of the following refers to the prevention of fertilization by physical barriers?
   A. Tubectomy
   B. Condom
   C. Oral contraceptive pill
   D. Copper-T

Answer: B. Condom

Explanation: Condoms are physical barriers that prevent the sperm from entering the female reproductive tract, thereby preventing fertilization. Tubectomy is a surgical procedure, oral contraceptive pills are hormonal, and Copper-T is an intrauterine device that acts on sperm motility and endometrium changes.

8. A sexually transmitted disease that can be asymptomatic for a long period before showing symptoms is:
   A. Gonorrhea
   B. Syphilis
   C. AIDS
   D. Genital Warts

Answer: C. AIDS

Explanation: AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome), caused by HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), may not show symptoms for several years after infection. The virus gradually weakens the immune system, leaving the individual vulnerable to infections and certain cancers. The other options, such as gonorrhea and syphilis, usually present symptoms earlier.

9. The process by which sperm is artificially introduced into a female’s reproductive system is called:
   A. ZIFT
   B. GIFT
   C. IUI
   D. IVF

Answer: C. IUI

Explanation: Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is the process in which sperm is artificially introduced into the uterus. It is one of the simplest forms of assisted reproductive technology, primarily used when the sperm count is low or there are minor fertility issues.

10. What is the role of contraceptive implants?
    A. Increase fertility
    B. Provide long-term contraception
    C. Protect against STIs
    D. None of the above

Answer: B. Provide long-term contraception

Explanation: Contraceptive implants release hormones (like progestin) over an extended period (up to 3-5 years), preventing ovulation and providing long-term contraception. However, they do not provide protection against sexually transmitted infections.
