Therefore, understanding this knowledge is a health care function for the body and can also prevent harm to the body. So what are the conventional contraceptive methods?

Intrauterine device (IUD)

Advantages: It can be used for 5 years after being placed once, and it is economical, simple and safe. Removal can restore fertility.

It may cause side effects such as increased menstrual bleeding or irregular menstruation, back pain, etc. It is more suitable for women who have given birth.

Failure rate: The rate of unplanned pregnancy within one year using this method is 0.6-0.8%.

Sterilization

Advantages: once and for all, no side effects. Male sterilization will not affect sexual ability, and female sterilization will not cause menopause prematurely.

Disadvantages: It requires a minor surgery and the wound will be a little painful. If you want to have another child, it is not easy to restore fertility.

Failure rate: The rate of unplanned pregnancy within one year using this method is 0.4%.

Emergency contraceptive pills (morning after pills)

Advantages: Take medicine within 72 hours of unsafe intercourse to remedy the situation.

Disadvantages: It may cause mild nausea and menstrual disorders. It is okay to use it occasionally, but not often.

Failure rate: about 2%, and the sooner the medication is taken from unsafe sexual intercourse, the better.

Contraceptive pills (oral or injectable)

Advantages: It is easy to use, has the effect of regulating menstruation for women with irregular menstrual cycles, and is helpful for symptoms such as abdominal pain and irritability before menstruation. Long-term use of birth control pills can reduce the incidence of ovarian cancer and endometrial cancer.

Now the latest low-dose contraceptives have fewer side effects. The new generation of short-acting contraceptives have effectively changed the side effects of the old generation of contraceptives, such as weight gain, acne, and increased hair, through improved ingredients, and have no effect on the development of the fetus. In other words, as long as you are prepared physically and mentally and are ready to have a baby, you can become pregnant immediately after stopping the medication.
