Which contraceptive method is better?

Women need to prepare contraceptive tools before sexual intercourse so as not to pose a hidden danger to their health. Nowadays, there are many methods of contraception, which can be used by women, and there are also contraceptive tools provided to men, such as condoms, which are relatively common. Different contraceptive measures can achieve different effects and even safety. At this time, we naturally need to know which contraceptive method is better?

1. Female condoms

Effectiveness - up to 95% under optimal use conditions

——Up to 79% in actual use

advantage:

This condom is inserted into the female vagina, and its outer edge can cover the female vulva to block the contact between the penis and the vagina. Women do not have to rely on men's willingness to use condoms. It can also effectively prevent sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS.

shortcoming:

Female condoms are also more likely to slip off if they are not placed properly during use.

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. 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.

Through the above introduction, everyone can clearly understand which contraceptive method is better. Women's self-protection awareness still needs to be improved. After all, it is women who are threatened by contraceptive failure, and it has basically no impact on men. Once an unexpected pregnancy occurs, artificial abortion is required, which will cause great damage to the uterus.
