What is the safest long-term contraceptive method?

Contraception has always been a concern for everyone. Bad contraceptive methods not only fail to achieve contraceptive effects, but may also cause women to suffer from diseases. If the contraceptive method is not chosen correctly, it may also lead to unexpected pregnancy. As we all know, abortion surgery is very harmful to women. Therefore, a good long-term contraceptive method is the most concerned issue for everyone. What is the safest long-term contraceptive method?

1. Safe period contraception method

The safety period after ovulation is usually safer than the safety period before ovulation.

However, the failure rate of this contraceptive method is very high, and the contraceptive success rate is only 70%-80%. If women use this method for a long time, it is very unsafe.

2. Intrauterine device

Intrauterine devices require certain surgical procedures before they can be used. After the device is inserted, women may experience some physical discomfort, such as increased menstrual flow, abdominal pain during menstruation, and a greater chance of inflammation than ordinary women. It is mostly used for postpartum women.

Although the success rate of this contraceptive method is very high, reaching over 95%, it also has many side effects and may even cause ectopic pregnancy. Of course, the specific discomfort reactions also depend on individual constitution.

3. Oral short-acting contraceptives

The first dose should be taken on the 1st to 5th day of the menstrual period, one tablet a day without interruption. It will start to work 14 days after taking the medicine. Compared with long-acting contraceptives, oral short-acting contraceptives are equally effective and have fewer side effects.

However, long-term use of birth control pills will have an impact on the body. Clinically, there are 5 most common adverse reactions to long-term birth control pills, such as early pregnancy-like reactions, vaginal bleeding, oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea, weight gain and facial pigmentation. Long-term use is not recommended.

Emergency contraceptive pills can only be used when sexual intercourse is unprotected or the original protective measures fail. The first use must be within 24 hours afterwards and no later than 48 hours.

Emergency contraception should not be used as a regular contraceptive method because it cannot prevent ovulation and fertilization. Moreover, this type of contraceptive has a great impact on the endometrium and endocrine system. If used improperly, it can easily induce amenorrhea or abnormal bleeding. It can only be used once in a menstrual cycle, and the second time will be ineffective. It is best not to use it more than 3 times within a year.

5. Contraceptive injection

It is a method of contraception that achieves its effect by inhibiting ovulation and causing changes in the cervical membrane. It is injected intramuscularly once a month, with a contraceptive success rate of up to 99.9%. However, it can easily cause menstrual irregularities, so it is best not to be used by women who have not yet given birth.

6. Male Condoms

This is the most commonly used method among young people. Although a layer of film always brings some sense of alienation, its advantage is that it does not interfere with women's physiology. At the same time, it can prevent sexually transmitted diseases. Moreover, the contraceptive success rate is as high as over 95%. It is a very suitable contraceptive method for women to use for a long time.

Compared with male condoms, female condoms are more in line with the female's physiological structure, have all the advantages of male contraception, and are more effective. Both parties can have a better experience and are less harmful to the female body. However, if placed improperly, they are easy to slip off, are more expensive, and are not widely used.

In comparison, male and female contraceptives are both more suitable contraceptive methods for women to use for a long time. The key is that they will not affect women's physiological functions and can achieve good contraceptive effects.
