Answer

To determine which statements about IUDs (Intrauterine Devices) are true, we will evaluate each statement one by one.

1. **Statement I: They are self-inserted.**
- This statement is **false**. IUDs are not self-inserted; they must be inserted by a trained healthcare professional, such as a doctor or a nurse.

2. **Statement II: They are inserted by expert nurses.**
- This statement is **true**. IUDs are typically inserted by trained healthcare professionals, which can include expert nurses, doctors, or gynecologists.

3. **Statement III: They may be non-medicated IUDs, copper releasing IUDs, or hormone releasing IUDs.**
- This statement is **true**. IUDs can be categorized into different types: non-medicated (like the Lippes loop), copper-releasing (like Copper T), and hormone-releasing (like LNG 20 and progesterone).

4. **Statement IV: They are one of the most widely accepted contraceptives in India.**
- This statement is **true**. IUDs are indeed one of the most widely accepted forms of contraception in India.

5. **Statement V: They are inter-uterine devices.**
- This statement is **false**. The correct term is "intra-uterine devices," not "inter-uterine devices." IUDs are placed inside the uterus.

**Conclusion:**
The true statements about IUDs are:
- Statement II: True
- Statement III: True
- Statement IV: True

Therefore, the correct answer is that statements II, III, and IV are true regarding IUDs.
