Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
A woman should feel for the string periodically, especially after her period, to confirm the presence of the IUD.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, E
Uterine fibroid embolization is a nonsurgical technique of treating uterine fibroids that involves fewer physiological effects than drug therapy, fewer psychological effects than surgery, and a faster recovery time than surgery. Myolysis is the laser or electrosurgical destruction of fibroids, and it also preserves fertility.
