How to prevent pregnancy if you can't use an IUD

If female friends do not use IUD as a contraceptive measure in their daily life, they should use condoms or have sex during the safe period, which can also achieve the contraceptive effect. The practice of having an IUD can play a good role in contraception, but the side effects on female friends are also relatively large, so it is recommended that everyone pays attention to the side effects that may be caused by having an IUD, and take relevant preventive measures and contraceptive measures.

1. Safe period contraception method: contraceptive success rate is 70% to 80%.

That is, using the menstrual cycle calculation method, basal body temperature measurement method or cervical mucus observation method, etc., to grasp the ovulation period of women, choose to have sexual intercourse during the non-ovulation period (that is, the safe period), and not have sexual intercourse during the ovulation period to prevent pregnancy, so that the sperm and egg miss the meeting. For women with regular menstruation, ovulation occurs approximately 14-16 days before the next estimated menstruation. The 2-3 days before and after this date are unsafe, and the rest of the days are safe periods.

2. External contraceptives - including contraceptive creams and films: contraceptive success rate is 70%-80%.

Before sexual intercourse, roll the film into a ball and put it into the vagina. It will take effect after it dissolves.

3. Male condoms: contraceptive success rate 80% to 98%.

It is put on the man's genitals before sexual intercourse. This is the most commonly used method among young people. Its biggest advantage is that it does not interfere with women's physiology at all and can also prevent sexually transmitted diseases. The biggest obstacle to continued use is that no matter how the texture of the condom is improved, some people still feel that this film affects their best enjoyment of sex.

4. Liquid condoms: contraceptive success rate is over 96%.

Uses special thrusters. Three minutes before going to bed or having sex, inject 4.2 ml of the cream into the vagina at one time. The effect lasts for eight hours. This product has been tested by the National Family Planning Commission's Institute of Science and Technology and is found to kill 100% of human sperm within 1 minute. Women who wish to become pregnant are prohibited from using it. And follow the instructions!

5. Intrauterine device: contraceptive success rate is over 95%.

It is placed in the uterus by a doctor. Prevents the fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus. The placement and removal of the ring requires certain operations. After the placement of the ring, there may be a slight increase in weight, abdominal pain during menstruation, uterine perforation, or inflammation. It is mostly used for postpartum women. Newly married women who plan not to have children within 1-2 years can use "Maternal Joy".

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

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.

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

Inject intramuscularly once a month. It reduces the trouble of daily use, but can easily cause irregular menstruation. It is best not to use it if you have not yet given birth.

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

Make a half-centimeter cut under the skin of the upper arm and insert 2 or 6 small stick-like contraceptive pills in a fan-shaped pattern. These long-acting methods reduce the hassle of daily medication and the risk of pregnancy from 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.

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

Need to go to hospital for surgery. When women have their fallopian tubes tied, it is very easy to accidentally injure important organs in the abdominal cavity, resulting in death during the operation. The most common misunderstanding is that, in fact, the organ that produces female hormones is the ovary, the organ where menstruation occurs 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 off or clamped, and the wound range does not exceed 1 cm.

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

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.
