What are the commonly used contraceptive measures?

If there is no plan to get pregnant in the near future, couples need to take contraceptive measures during sexual intercourse. For male friends who are not yet married, contraception is even more important. There are many commonly used contraceptive measures nowadays, but when adopting them, you need to consider your own specific circumstances, such as whether you have given birth before, whether the health of the female uterus is good, etc., which cannot be ignored.

1. External contraceptive film

Key points for safe contraception: Keep it in a cool and dry place at all times to prevent moisture from affecting the efficacy of the drug. Do not knead it too tightly or too small when using, otherwise it will affect the dissolution of the medicine. Be sure to use your fingers to send it deep into the vagina, and have sexual intercourse after 10 minutes. If sexual intercourse lasts more than half an hour, you should add another one.

2. Male condoms

Contraceptive mechanism: Prevents contraception by preventing sperm from meeting egg, with a success rate of 80%-90%.

Advantages: It has no interfering effect on the female body's physiology and can also prevent sexually transmitted diseases.

Afterwards, you must press the upper end of the condom and pull it out together with the penis, and check whether there is semen in the small bag of the condom. This is to confirm that the condom is not damaged.

3. Intrauterine contraceptive ring

Contraceptive mechanism: The contraceptive success rate is over 95% by preventing the fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus.

People with gynecological inflammation, heavy or irregular menstruation, and reproductive tract tumors should not wear the IUD.

A clear introduction to commonly used contraceptive measures has been given above. It is best for women to choose a contraceptive method that does not endanger the health and safety of the uterus. For example, if an IUD is placed in the uterus, it may accidentally scratch the uterus and cause gynecological diseases such as cervicitis. It is also not recommended for women with anemia.
