Question 5 of 5
What is the LNG-IUC mechanism of action?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The LNG-IUC, or levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system, works primarily by thickening the cervical mucus, which inhibits the passage of sperm through the cervix. This mechanism reduces the likelihood of fertilization occurring. Additionally, LNG-IUC also causes atrophic changes in the endometrium, which makes it less conducive for implantation of a fertilized egg, further decreasing the chance of pregnancy.
