What is the best method of contraception?

There are many methods of contraception. The most important thing is to choose a method that suits you. At different ages, in order to reduce harm to our bodies, we can choose a contraceptive method that suits us. When we are young, we can use condoms for contraception. It is not recommended to use contraceptive pills for contraception, as this will affect your menstrual conditions and affect your pregnancy again. So let’s find out what is the best method of contraception.

1. Oral short-acting contraceptives: contraceptive success rate is 99.9%.

Principle: Use drugs to inhibit ovulation and cause changes in the cervical lining.

Method: The first dose should be taken on the 1st to 5th day of the menstrual period, one tablet per day without interruption. The effect begins 14 days after taking it.

Doctor's advice: It is very common among young women abroad, but Chinese girls often have illusions about it, worrying about getting fat, getting freckles, and affecting their future children. In fact, these worries are unnecessary. Today's oral contraceptives can not only interfere with female physiology to the minimum extent, but it has also been proven to have no effect on subsequent pregnancy. On the contrary, it is beneficial to the beauty of female skin, making the skin delicate and reducing acne.

2. Contraceptive injection: contraceptive success rate is 99.9%.

Principle: Use drugs to inhibit ovulation and cause changes in the cervical membrane.

Method: Intramuscular injection once a month.

Doctor's advice: It reduces the trouble of daily medication, but can easily cause irregular menstruation. It is best not to use it if you have not yet given birth.

7. Subcutaneous implant contraceptive: contraceptive success rate is 99.9%.

Principle: The drug's effect is slowly exerted through blood circulation, inhibiting ovulation and causing changes in the cervical membrane. The drug is effective for 2-3 years.

Method: Make a half-centimeter incision under the skin of the upper arm and insert 2 or 6 small stick-like contraceptive pills in a fan shape.

Doctor's note: These long-acting methods reduce the hassle of daily medication and the risk of pregnancy due to missed doses. However, a considerable proportion of women will experience irregular menstruation or even serious disorders after using it, and will seek medical treatment again. Therefore, if you plan to have a child within a few years, it is best not to use it.

3. Permanent contraceptive method - tubal ligation for women and vasectomy for men: contraceptive success rate is 99.9%.

Principle: Prevent sperm and egg from meeting.

Method: Need to go to the hospital for surgery.

Doctor's care: The most common misunderstanding is that, in fact, the organ that produces female hormones is the ovary, the organ that undergoes menstruation is the uterus, and the main organs of sexual life are the vulva, vagina and part of the cervix. These are not damaged, only the fallopian tubes that transport the eggs are cut or clamped, and the wound area does not exceed 1 cm.

4. Emergency contraception

Emergency contraceptive pills - must be used for the first time within 24 hours after unprotected intercourse or contraceptive failure, and no later than 48 hours.

Principle: Change the endometrium so that the fertilized egg cannot implant.

Doctor's advice: Emergency contraception should not be used as a regular contraceptive method because it cannot prevent ovulation and fertilization. This type of drug has a great impact on the endometrium and endocrine system, and often causes abnormal bleeding and amenorrhea after use.

The above is an introduction to the best methods of contraception. I hope everyone can pay enough attention to it. On the one hand, the use of contraceptive methods can achieve the purpose of avoiding pregnancy. On the other hand, it is also a self-protection method for one's own lifestyle that can reduce diseases. For example, condoms can prevent the spread of some sexually transmitted diseases.
