Which contraceptive method is effective?

My friend just gave birth to a baby and she started to worry about being pregnant. Which contraceptive method is effective? If you don’t plan to have a second child immediately after giving birth, you must take contraceptive measures as soon as possible, otherwise it will be easy to get pregnant again. There are two types of contraceptive methods in life: female contraception and male contraception. What are the specific contraceptive methods? Now I will tell you what types of contraceptive methods there are and which one is most effective.

The commonly used contraceptive methods can be roughly divided into several categories. The first category is natural contraception, the second category is drug contraception, the third category is barrier contraception, the fourth category is intrauterine device, and the fifth category is sterilization. Currently, the safest and most hygienic choice is condom contraception. Advantages: no side effects, easy to use.

2. Contraceptive injection failure rate: 0-1%

The contraceptive injection only needs to be taken once and it can effectively prevent pregnancy within 3 months. However, due to its heavy dosage, one injection is equivalent to taking 3 packs of birth control pills, so it may increase the risk of vascular embolism. Generally, only women in Southeast Asia will inject it, and Western women rarely use it. However, women's eating habits are becoming more and more Westernized, and the chance of vascular embolism has greatly increased, so women who are interested in choosing contraceptive injections need to consult a doctor first.

3. Failure rate of contraceptive ring: 0.3-2%

The most common method used by female friends with children. The contraceptive ring is a long-term contraceptive method that can remain in the uterus for up to 5 years and has a high contraceptive success rate. However, some people, especially young women or women who have never given birth, may feel aversion to it and feel uncomfortable. In addition, wearing an IUD may increase and prolong women's menstrual flow, or cause bleeding outside of menstrual periods.

4. Contraceptive patch failure rate: 0.2-3%

Contraceptive patches are also a commonly used contraceptive method for women. The contraceptive effect of the contraceptive patch is similar to that of the contraceptive pill, but it is not taken orally. Instead, it achieves its contraceptive effect by absorbing the drug through the skin. The effectiveness of a contraceptive patch generally lasts for 7 days, so it is most suitable for people who have to change jet lag frequently, such as flight attendants or tour guides in travel agencies, or those who have or often forget to take contraceptive pills. However, using contraceptive patches may cause skin sensitivity, so special care should be taken when using them.

The above is what I introduced to you about which contraceptive method is more effective. The percentage of contraceptive failure I introduced above can make it clear to everyone which is the safest contraceptive method. However, not every contraceptive method is suitable for everyone. Everyone has a different physique, so you must choose a contraceptive method that suits you best.
