What are the common contraceptive measures?

The issue of contraception is a topic that people often discuss nowadays. This is because in recent years more and more female friends have experienced unwanted pregnancies, and when they have no choice, they resort to artificial abortion to get rid of the child. Although this approach seems simple and quick, it poses a great threat to women's health. Therefore, correct contraception is crucial. So what are the common contraceptive measures?

1. Contraceptive pills

Effectiveness - up to 99.5% under optimal use conditions

——Up to 95% in actual use

advantage:

Oral contraceptives are the most popular contraceptive method among women in the West. It is not only a contraceptive method that can restore fertility at any time, but also has a stable effect and can relieve women from the discomfort caused by heavy blood loss and menstrual pain during menstruation. The latest research shows that oral contraceptives can also reduce the risk of ovarian cancer.

shortcoming:

This method requires daily administration and cannot prevent sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS. Moreover, women who like to smoke, have high blood pressure or poor heart function should not use this method, because birth control pills increase the risk of blood clotting and heart attack. Oral contraceptives for breastfeeding mothers will inhibit the secretion of breast milk.

2. Intrauterine device

Effectiveness - up to 99% under optimal use conditions

——Up to 97% in actual use

advantage:

This method involves a doctor placing a plastic or copper IUD in a woman's uterus, which provides convenient, long-term contraception. Once it is removed, women can regain their fertility. In addition, there is currently a progesterone contraceptive device that can release progesterone slowly and steadily to produce a long-term contraceptive effect. Each contraceptive device can be used for one year and can relieve menstrual pain and reduce menstrual blood volume.

shortcoming:

Insertion of the IUD may cause mild discomfort. Copper IUDs may also cause heavy bleeding or menstrual pain in some women. Moreover, this method cannot prevent sexually transmitted diseases, and is not suitable for women who already have sexually transmitted diseases or women who have not given birth.

The above article gives a detailed introduction to common contraceptive measures, but female friends also need to be aware that whether taking medicine or wearing an IUD, it will cause great harm to their own health. In such a situation, it might be better for male friends to adopt contraceptive measures, which will be safer, such as condoms, which are more common.
