Common misunderstandings about contraception, female friends should pay attention

Many modern female friends have begun to enjoy the benefits of sex life, but for female friends, one problem they encounter in sex life is contraception. For female friends, if they don’t want to get pregnant immediately, they must use contraception. However, if common misunderstandings about contraception occur, it will lead to contraceptive failure and cause pain to female friends both physically and mentally. Therefore, female friends must be very careful.

Female friends all know that contraception often fails due to common misunderstandings about contraception. If you don’t want the child because of an unexpected pregnancy, you will suffer the pain of miscarriage. Therefore, the most important thing for female friends is to have sex and use contraception correctly.

Misconception 1 : Accidental sexual intercourse will not lead to pregnancy. According to incomplete statistics, the most common reason among women who have abortions is a mentality of taking chances, thinking that pregnancy is not that easy and the chance of getting pregnant from accidental sexual intercourse is very low. Experts remind us that this is a very wrong view. Every sexual intercourse carries the risk of pregnancy, so you should never rely on luck.

Misconception 2 : The safe period contraceptive method is very safe. Some women have more regular menstrual cycles and believe that they can achieve the effect of contraception by calculating the safe period. Most women have a menstrual cycle lasting 24-32 days, with ovulation occurring between days 12-18. If the egg is not fertilized within 24 hours after ovulation, it will die on its own. After being released, sperm can generally fertilize the egg within 3 days, but there are also reports that sperm can still retain the ability to fertilize a week after sexual intercourse. Experts point out that the so-called "safe period" is very short. For women with a 28-day menstrual cycle, this "safe" period is only about one week. Moreover, due to changes in climate, diet, mood, environment, etc., the ovulation time may fluctuate, and even extra ovulation may occur, so the safe period contraceptive method is not reliable at all.

Misconception 3 : The only option for women who have given birth is to have an IUD. Many women who have given birth believe that the IUD is the only contraceptive method. Women who suffer from uterine fibroids, irregular menstrual cycles, dysmenorrhea and other diseases are often not suitable for IUD placement, as they feel there are no other options. In fact, there are many methods to choose from, including IUD, oral contraceptives (including long-acting and short-acting), condoms, liquid condoms, contraceptive injections, subcutaneous implants, sterilization, etc. S

Therefore, for female friends, out of a sense of responsibility for their health and body, the most important thing for female friends is to use effective contraceptive methods and stay away from common misunderstandings about contraception. This is the healthiest and most responsible attitude towards sex life, so male friends also need to cooperate.
