What is the best contraceptive method after childbirth?

Nowadays, many topics that female friends chat about are how to use contraception safely and effectively. Especially some women who have just given birth do not want to have a second child so soon. Some women who have given birth will wear IUDs. However, some female friends will experience irregular vaginal bleeding after wearing them for more than a year, so everyone needs to pay attention. So what is the best contraceptive method after giving birth?

(1) Intrauterine contraceptive device, which can be inserted immediately after delivery or 42 days after delivery.

(2) How do women choose the best contraceptive method? Progestin-only contraceptive methods, such as subcutaneous implants and progestin-only long-acting contraceptive injections. Breastfeeding women can start using it 6 weeks after delivery; non-breastfeeding women can use it 5 days after delivery. Data show that it has no significant effect on milk secretion and no significant effect on infant growth and development.

(3) Lactational amenorrhea or the Billings natural contraceptive method.

Condoms, vaginal diaphragms, cervical caps and the newly developed female condoms are all barrier contraceptive methods. They use devices made of latex or silicone rubber to prevent sperm from entering the female reproductive tract and avoid pregnancy through mechanical barriers.

Condoms are also one of the commonly used contraceptive methods in my country. Because this device is easy to use and easy to obtain, generally does not require special guidance from medical personnel, and has no obvious side effects, it is accepted by many couples. In addition, in recent years people have noticed that condoms can prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS, and it is estimated that the number of people using condoms will increase. Theoretically, the effectiveness of condoms is reliable. If you can use them carefully according to the requirements every time you have sex and the quality of the condoms is reliable, the failure rate is 0.4-2/%.

The other three barrier methods except condoms are not widely used in my country. As people become more aware of sexually transmitted diseases, the demand for female condoms will increase.

Spermicide is a surfactant that can effectively make sperm lose their motility. The function of spermicide is to destroy the sperm cell membrane, causing it to disintegrate and disappear, resulting in the exposure of organelles, the imbalance of the intracellular environment, and the loss of sperm cell survival ability.

The above is an introduction to the best contraceptive method after childbirth. If you do not have plans to have a second child for the time being, you must choose a contraceptive method that suits you and you need to select it carefully. At the same time, we remind everyone to pay attention to personal hygiene during sexual life to avoid contracting some gynecological diseases.
