(II) Many individuals avoid sterilisation due to the myth that it affects sexual drive, though medically this is incorrect.
(III) Surgical sterilisation requires infrastructure and trained personnel, which are not widely available in nural areas.
(IV) It is a surgical procedure, carrying inherent risks and recovery time, unlike simpler methods like pills or condoms.
Thus, all four statements are valid factors influencing why sterilisation is not the first choice for most couples.
