What are the commonly used contraceptive methods?

There are many common contraceptive methods that can be used during sexual intercourse, which can be used for both female and male contraception. The key lies in what method is used. For example, men can use condoms and women can take birth control pills, but long-term use of medication has a great impact on women's health. For people who have frequent sexual intercourse, it is not recommended to use this method to achieve the effect of contraception.

1. Male condoms

Contraceptive mechanism:

Preventing pregnancy by preventing sperm from meeting egg has a success rate of 80%-90%.

advantage:

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

Key points for safe contraception:

The model must be suitable for the user. Moreover, it must be used at the beginning of sexual intercourse. Damaged or deteriorated condoms must not be used again. 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.

2. External contraceptive film

Contraceptive mechanism:

The success rate of preventing pregnancy by reducing sperm motility is 96%.

advantage:

It does not damage the vaginal epithelium and does not change the self-cleaning function of the vagina. Long-term use is harmless to the body and does not stain clothes.

Key points for safe contraception:

It should be kept in a cool and dry place at ordinary times to prevent moisture from affecting the efficacy of the medicine. 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.

3. Intrauterine contraceptive ring

Contraceptive mechanism:

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

advantage:

There are few side effects and it can be left in place for a long time, even until menopause.

Key points for safe contraception:

The ring can easily move out of its normal position within 3 months after insertion, so you should have regular X-rays to avoid getting pregnant with the ring due to it moving out of its normal position. People with gynecological inflammation, heavy or irregular menstruation, and reproductive tract tumors should not wear the IUD.

The above is a detailed introduction to commonly used contraceptive methods. I believe everyone has some understanding of them. Each contraceptive method has its own characteristics and the contraceptive effects it can achieve are also different. However, for the intrauterine contraceptive device method, the most common target group is women who have already given birth, after all, it can also cause some damage to the uterus.
