What other contraceptive methods are there besides condoms and birth control pills?

In daily life, most people use condoms mainly for contraception, and don't think too much about other things. Some younger men and women are also worried about accidental pregnancy, so they must use condoms. Moreover, they are not satisfied with just using condoms and want to take birth control pills after having sex. So, should condoms and emergency contraception be used together? Today I will give you a detailed introduction.

Using condoms with emergency contraception

Condoms have always been widely used in China. Because they are a physical protective measure, many young people think they are the most reliable form of contraception. However, the data show that condoms are more suitable for preventing diseases during unsafe sex. For fixed sexual partners, not only is the usage experience poor, but the accidental pregnancy rate within a year is as high as 3-20%. Compared with condoms, short-acting contraceptives can achieve a contraceptive efficiency of more than 99% when used properly, which can be said to be a safer contraceptive method than condoms, thus minimizing the user's confusion about "being a father".

In addition to the reliable contraceptive effect itself, short-acting contraceptives will also bring some additional health benefits to women, giving women and their loved ones warm care. For example, it can help women maintain a regular menstrual cycle, relieve dysmenorrhea, reduce menstrual bleeding, improve breast pain, finger swelling, anxiety, irritability and other early menstrual syndrome. In addition, problems such as acne and excessive skin hair can be controlled by taking short-acting contraceptives.

Because of the many advantages of short-acting contraceptives, in fact, like Jude Law, who is a father, in European countries, most men think that it is natural for women to use emergency contraception for contraception after they have a stable relationship. As one of the safest contraceptive methods, the emergency contraceptive pill has a coverage rate of 30-60% in European countries, which makes it seem reasonable that Jude Law didn't know that his girlfriend didn't take emergency contraception. In the sexual life of men and women, not only celebrities need to guard against being accidentally treated as a father and being used or threatened by others, but also ordinary people need to try their best to avoid being treated as a father, an emotional time bomb that hurts both feelings and liver.

Apart from emergency contraception and condoms, what other options are there?

When it comes to contraceptive measures, in addition to emergency contraception and condoms, there is also a common way, which is to insert an IUD, also called a birth control ring. IUD insertion is the simplest, most economical and most effective contraceptive measure. After a woman has inserted this type of ring, she does not need to use other contraceptive methods. However, some people will experience menstrual disorders within three months after the insertion of the ring, sometimes irregular vaginal bleeding or lumbar pain, but the symptoms will subside after three months. If you experience heavy menstrual flow and severe abdominal pain after the IUD is placed, and if it does not subside after three months, it means that this type of IUD is not suitable for you and you should remove it immediately.
