Which contraceptive method is better?

Both men and women must take contraceptive measures during sexual intercourse and never rely on luck. Even during the safe period, there is still the possibility of accidental pregnancy, and male friends should not think that ejaculation outside the body is enough, as this contraceptive method has a high chance of failure. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure the correctness of the contraceptive method in order to reduce the chance of contraceptive failure. So which contraceptive method is good?

1. Depo-progesterone acetate injection

Effectiveness - up to 99.7% under optimal use conditions

——Up to 98.7% in actual use

advantage:

This method only requires 4 injections of medroxyprogesterone acetate per year to produce a continuous contraceptive effect. A single injection of medroxyprogesterone acetate can provide contraception for 12-14 weeks.

shortcoming:

This injection must be performed by a professional medical personnel. If you want to restore your fertility, you need to stop taking the medicine for 9 months. Recent studies have shown that long-term use of these injections can easily lead to osteoporosis. This method also does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases and may cause menstrual disorders, weight gain, dizziness and headaches.

2. Female tubal ligation

Effectiveness - up to 99.9%

advantage:

The surgery removes part of a woman's fallopian tube and ties it, preventing the egg from meeting the sperm. The operation can be performed the day after the birth of the baby. If the mother gives birth by caesarean section, it can be done at the same time as delivery.

shortcoming:

Tubal ligation is a permanent method of contraception. If the mother still wants to maintain her fertility, she should not choose this method.

3. Male vasectomy

Effectiveness - up to 99.9%

advantage:

This surgery involves removing the section of the vasectomy tube that runs from the testicles to the penis. For couples who choose sterilization, it is a less invasive procedure than tubal ligation. It requires only local anesthesia, can be performed in a general outpatient setting, and carries a low risk of complications.

shortcoming:

It is difficult to restore male reproductive ability. Generally, the contraceptive effect can only be achieved 6 weeks after the operation. If you have sexual intercourse during this period, you still need to take other contraceptive methods.

Through the above introduction, everyone can clearly understand which contraceptive method is better. Contraception is actually a very simple thing. Don’t always think about it as complicated. It is a way for women to protect themselves. If you have already given birth and no longer plan to have children, you can go straight to sterilization surgery so you don’t have to worry about an unexpected pregnancy.
