What is the best contraceptive method?

When it comes to contraceptive methods, there are really many. But in life, the most commonly used condom is condom. Why do I say this? I have a basis for my statement. Compared with other contraceptive methods, condoms are more convenient to use, safer and cheaper. So many people choose to use it for contraception. So what kind of contraceptive method is the best and most effective? What else are there besides condoms?

1. Tubal ligation

The inner side of the fallopian tube is connected to the uterus, while the outer end is free and close to the ovary. The egg runs from the fallopian tube to the uterine cavity. Tubal ligation is a surgery to tie the fallopian tubes, blocking the passage of the egg to the uterus, in order to achieve the purpose of permanent sterilization of women. This procedure is suitable for adult women who desire permanent sterilization and have no contraindications to the procedure. Women who only want temporary or reversible contraception are not candidates for this procedure. General anesthesia; make a 1~1.5cm long transverse incision at the lower edge of the umbilicus and insert the laparoscope; double ligate the fallopian tube and cut it in the middle; suture the skin incision. The patient can go home a few hours after the operation. The surgery can also be done right after a woman gives birth.

2. Intrauterine device

1. What is an intrauterine device?

Intrauterine contraceptive devices are generally made of antiseptic plastic or metal, and some are added with some drugs (such as those that can release female hormones or indomethacin, etc.). There are many shapes of uterine rings, such as round, uterine cavity, T-shaped, etc. Doctors can choose the appropriate uterine ring according to the condition of each person's uterus.

2. Why can intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD) be used for contraception?

After the uterine ring is placed into the uterine cavity, it changes the environment in the uterine cavity, making it unfavorable for the implantation of the fertilized egg, affecting the motility of the sperm and the movement speed of the egg in the fallopian tube, thereby achieving the purpose of contraception. The effectiveness of contraception using an IUD is approximately 94-99%.

What are the advantages of using an intrauterine device?

It is a long-acting contraceptive method with an effectiveness period ranging from one to several years. You can get pregnant again after the doctor removes the IUD. After inserting the ring, there is no need to do any preparation before sexual intercourse. Women who wear the ring will not feel the presence of the ring, so it is suitable for women who need regular contraception.

3. Oral contraceptives

1. Why can birth control pills prevent pregnancy?

Contraceptive pills are divided into two categories: internal and external. The main ingredients of internal contraceptives are artificially synthesized estrogen and progesterone, which are divided into three types: long-acting, short-acting and rapid-acting (visiting relatives) according to the duration of their contraceptive effects. Internal contraceptives work by inhibiting ovarian ovulation, thickening cervical mucus, interfering with endometrial development, changing fallopian tube motility, inhibiting sperm capacitation, and inhibiting or killing sperm.

4. Emergency Contraception

Emergency contraception is a remedial measure for those who do not want to get pregnant and who are worried about getting pregnant when they fail to take contraceptive measures in time during sexual intercourse due to various reasons (such as condom breaking or falling off).

Every method of contraception has advantages and disadvantages, as no one is perfect. A good contraceptive method is not necessarily easy to use, and a bad contraceptive method is not necessarily uncomfortable to use. So what kind of contraceptive method is the best and most effective? Speaking of the best and most effective, I think condoms are also good, because they are more convenient to use, and unlike contraceptive pills that need to be taken every day and contraceptive injections that need to be injected every day and are painful. So the best and most effective thing is condoms.
