If a woman doesn't do this well, she will be hurt for life!

In recent years, the proportion of unmarried women seeking abortion has increased year by year, and the trend of younger age is very obvious. The term "unplanned pregnancy" is not unfamiliar to women (even girls). This situation is caused by people's weak awareness of contraception or improper contraceptive methods. How to correctly use contraception has become an issue that cannot be ignored.

Know the causes of contraceptive failure early

Many women wonder, why do they get pregnant even though they have taken contraceptive measures? Recently, the director of the Family Planning Center of the Maternal and Child Health Hospital, who was a guest on the "Online Famous Doctors' Hall", pointed out that improper contraceptive methods or improper use of contraceptive drugs are the main culprits leading to contraceptive failure. Common methods such as safe period contraception and withdrawal from the vagina are affected by various factors, such as emotions and environment, and therefore easily lead to contraceptive failure. In addition, experts point out that the wrong understanding of contraceptives is also one of the causes of unwanted pregnancies. Take the emergency contraceptive Yuting as an example. It is a remedial contraceptive measure taken after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. It should be taken within 72 hours afterwards. The earlier it is taken, the better the effect. Emergency contraceptive pills are only effective for the previous sexual intercourse and will be ineffective for the next sexual intercourse. This is a misunderstanding of many people. They think that if they have taken the medicine and have sex again immediately, they will not get pregnant. This idea is wrong and deserves attention.

Choose the right method and use the right medicine

There are many contraceptive methods currently available, but you should choose the corresponding contraceptive method according to different ages or different groups of people so as not to affect your health.

(1) Unmarried contraceptive method - early maturing women

For unmarried women or girls, their bodies may still be in the development stage, so when choosing a contraceptive method, they should try to use condoms. The method of use should be throughout the entire sexual intercourse and avoid using it only during ejaculation. If contraception fails due to other factors, you must take emergency contraceptive pills such as Yuting in time to remedy the situation in order to prevent an unexpected pregnancy.

(2) Contraception for married women: Mature women

Married women who are not ready to have a baby have many options for contraception, such as long-term oral contraceptives, short-term contraceptives, intrauterine devices, condoms, etc. What you need to pay attention to is long-term oral contraceptives. Experts point out that because they require long-term oral use, if you forget to take it once or twice, you can make up for it by taking the medicine in time afterwards. However, if you forget to take it more than twice, you need to start a new cycle, otherwise it is easy to cause contraception failure without knowing it.

(3) Contraception during lactation - postpartum women

The interview mentioned that ovulation is restricted during breastfeeding, and the chance of pregnancy is small, but there is still a chance of pregnancy. Considering the need to feed the baby, condoms are chosen for contraception. Intrauterine devices are not recommended because the uterus has not yet fully recovered after delivery, so it needs to be avoided. If contraception fails, you can also take emergency contraceptive pills. After 48-72 hours of the drug effect, you can resume feeding your baby.
