Which contraception is inserted through the cervix into the uterus by a physician?

• A. Norplant
• B. Intrauterine Device
• C. Nuvaring
• D. Spermicidal jelly

Answer: (B)

Placing contraception inside the uterus is a procedure done by a clinician because it requires accessing the uterine cavity through the cervix and using sterile technique. This describes an intrauterine device, a long-acting reversible method that remains in the uterus for years to prevent pregnancy. It’s placed after a pelvic examination and insertion in a medical setting. Other options are different methods: a subdermal implant sits under the skin of the arm, a vaginal ring is inserted by the patient into the vagina, and spermicidal jelly is applied inside the vagina as a topical spermicide.
