How to avoid pregnancy

When women use contraception, they also need to choose the correct method, so that it will not cause any harm to their health. So how to avoid pregnancy? Women are not very clear about this issue. Generally, women who have given birth will choose to use an IUD for contraception. This method of contraception is simple and very good to use. However, when using contraception, it also needs to be done for a long time, which will be of great help for contraception.

So what is the best way to avoid pregnancy? There are some good ways and methods. The following is a detailed introduction so that you can have a good understanding of these methods and feel at ease when using them.

How to avoid pregnancy:

Safe period contraception method: For women whose menstrual cycles are always regular and normal, they can calculate the ovulation period of each month more accurately. The prerequisite for a successful pregnancy is that the sperm can meet the egg and combine to become a fertilized egg. If the egg is not released, the sperm will be in vain and the conditions for pregnancy will not be met. Therefore, as long as you make careful calculations and avoid the menstrual period and ovulation period, you can have a contraceptive success rate of about 50%. However, this method is affected by many factors, such as recently taking certain medications that may affect the timing of menstruation, or having great mood swings in recent times, causing endocrine disorders, etc. This is why many women get pregnant during the so-called safe period. Therefore, this method can only be used occasionally and cannot be used as an absolutely effective means.

Emergency contraception: Sometimes you forget about sex and don’t take any protective measures, and you happen to be in an unsafe period. In this case, you need to use emergency contraception, which generally means taking emergency contraceptive pills. Nowadays, the specifications of medicines are different, and the dosage and methods of administration are also different. They must be used according to the instructions. The similarity is that these types of drugs require women to take them within 72 hours after intercourse, and the earlier they are taken, the better the effect. This type of drug should not be used as a long-term remedy and is only suitable for occasional emergencies. If emergency contraceptive pills are used frequently for contraception, it will have a certain impact on women's endocrine system and may make it difficult to get pregnant in the future.

Subcutaneous implant contraceptive method: This is a contraceptive method used in women. A certain amount of progesterone is implanted under the skin on the inner side of the woman's upper arm. These progesterone will cause changes in the endometrium, making it impossible for the fertilized egg to implant and develop smoothly on the endometrium, so that the embryo cannot be conceived. This method has a high success rate, but it can also cause trouble for women, because progesterone can affect endocrine system. The most obvious manifestation is in the onset of menstruation, which may lead to irregular menstruation, heavy increase in menstrual flow, or even amenorrhea. However, menstruation will return to normal as long as the implanted drug is removed from the body. If these side effects are unacceptable to women, this method should be chosen with caution.

Oral contraceptives: The main ingredients of oral contraceptives are progesterone and estrogen, which can change the properties of the endometrium, inhibit ovulation and other aspects to achieve the contraceptive effect. Because the medicine is relatively easy to take, many women like to use this method. If this method is strictly followed according to the instructions or doctor's advice, the success rate is relatively high. However, you cannot change the dosage, course of treatment, or method of administration without authorization, especially for long-acting contraceptives. Once you miss a dose, you have to start over. Women who use this method should also note that if they are taking other medications at the same time, they should consult a doctor to see if there will be any impact or conflict with the contraceptive drugs.

Through the above introduction, we have a good understanding of how to avoid pregnancy. When taking contraceptive measures, we can choose the above methods. However, when taking contraceptive measures, it should be done for a long time so that there will be no pregnancy. It also prevents women from having to undergo abortion surgery, which is also a great protection for their own health.
