Which contraceptive method is best?

As people's sexual concepts continue to open up, their demand for sex is also increasing. However, during sexual intercourse, whether for your own health and safety or for the health of women, contraceptive measures need to be taken. This can effectively avoid the various troubles and threats caused by unexpected pregnancy. In fact, there are still many contraceptive methods nowadays, so which contraceptive method is the best?

1. Male condoms

Effectiveness - up to 97% under optimal use conditions

——Up to 86% in actual use

advantage:

It can be purchased directly over the counter at pharmacies. During sexual intercourse, men using condoms can prevent bacteria from being introduced into the vagina and also help prevent sexually transmitted diseases.

shortcoming:

Male condoms may crack or slip off; condoms containing spermicide may also irritate the vagina. And it can only play a contraceptive role if the man is willing to use it.

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.

3. Vaginal spermicide

Effectiveness - up to 94% under optimal use

——Up to 74% in actual use

advantage:

Spermicides increase vaginal lubrication and so can help women with vaginal dryness. This is also an over-the-counter medicine and can be purchased at a pharmacy.

shortcoming:

Some people may be allergic to certain types of spermicides. When used alone, it is not as effective as other methods.

I believe that from the above introduction, everyone has a general understanding of the contraceptive measures. Although there are many methods that can achieve contraceptive effects, it does not mean that every one of them is extremely safe. In fact, it is unlikely that there is a way to absolutely prevent unwanted pregnancy, but it is possible to improve women's health by reducing the chance of contraceptive failure.
