Contraceptive method competition, which contraceptive method is the best?

This is the 4806th article of Da Yi Xiao Hu

Today we are going to talk about the choice of contraceptive methods. We have already learned about the conditions for normal conception, so the so-called contraception is to destroy these conditions for normal conception one by one. At present, the main contraceptive methods for women are: oral contraceptives, intrauterine devices, condom contraception, tubal ligation surgery, etc.

Oral contraceptives

The main function of oral contraceptives is to prevent contraception by inhibiting the discharge of the egg sister and increasing the viscosity of cervical mucus, thereby preventing the penetration of the sperm brother. It can be understood as: the egg sister cannot go out, and the sperm brother is blocked at the starting point. Oral contraceptives include short-acting, long-acting and emergency contraceptives. Short-acting contraceptives are one of the most commonly used contraceptives. Compared with long-acting contraceptives, its advantages are mainly: fewer side effects, you can fully enjoy intimacy during medication, and you can try to get pregnant immediately after stopping the medication. And the most important point is that after taking short-acting contraceptives correctly, the success rate of contraception can be as high as 98%, which can be said to be a very efficient contraceptive method. Of course, the disadvantages are also obvious: because they need to be taken every day, many women may miss or take them by mistake, resulting in contraceptive failure; in addition, when intimate relationships occur and there is no barrier, the infection rate of sexually transmitted diseases may increase.

Intrauterine device

As the name implies, it is to place the birth control device inside the female's uterine cavity to achieve a contraceptive effect. To put it simply, it destroys the environment for embryo implantation, making it impossible for it to survive. Advantages of intrauterine devices: you can still enjoy an intimate sex life, you can get pregnant quickly after removal, some intrauterine devices can also treat diseases, and the contraceptive effect is also good, with a contraceptive success rate of up to 98%. However, it also has its more obvious disadvantages: because the uterus is constantly stimulated by foreign bodies, it will increase the incidence of irregular uterine bleeding and lower abdominal pain in women; and whether placing or removing the intrauterine device, surgical operation is required, which also increases the risk of infection.

Tubal ligation

This is the most direct contraceptive method for women, and it is a safe and permanent birth control measure. Tubal ligation cuts off the bridge that connects the egg and the sperm, so that the egg and the sperm cannot meet and can only look at each other across the bridge, and eventually they will be separated. This ligation operation is relatively safe, with a very low failure rate, and no other contraceptive measures are required during sexual intercourse.

Emergency contraceptive pills

It is strongly recommended that you only use it in emergency situations. It is by no means a regular contraceptive method, and the success rate of contraception is only about 80%. Contraceptive failure and even ectopic pregnancy may occur. Due to the large amount of hormones contained, it may also cause menstrual disorders, abnormal uterine bleeding, etc. If a man tells you, "It's okay, I'll take the medicine later," I personally suggest that you push him away and leave.

Finally, let's talk about one of the methods used by countless bad guys to coax girls: ejaculation outside the vagina. Studies have shown that if ejaculation outside the vagina is used for contraception, about 40%-50% of couples will successfully conceive within a year. This is mainly because a small amount of semen or prostatic fluid will be discharged before ejaculation, entering the vagina and causing conception. In addition, if a man suddenly pulls out his penis during sexual activity, it will cause special mental tension, which may cause impotence in the long run. Therefore, I advise you not to try this method easily.

The above are answers to some common questions about contraception in women's reproductive health. I hope it can help everyone to become a knowledgeable and cultured new generation of young people in society who spend less money and benefit more! Which contraceptive method is the best? This question requires specific analysis of specific circumstances. There is no best, only the most suitable. Choosing the contraceptive method that suits you best is the best way.
