What are the best contraceptive methods after giving birth?

Nowadays, the policy advocates two children per couple. For families that have already achieved this goal, contraception becomes particularly important. If you fail to take good contraceptive measures and get pregnant again, you will have to have an abortion if the country does not allow it. For women, abortion is not only emotionally difficult, but also has adverse effects on themselves. Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, we should still take good contraceptive precautions. The more effective contraceptive methods include condoms, intrauterine devices for women, sterilization for both men and women, and safe period contraception. Below we will talk about the best contraceptive methods after giving birth.

1. Contraception with condoms

1. After giving birth, using condoms is a relatively safe and effective contraceptive method. When purchasing condoms, be careful not to only pursue ultra-thin ones, as those with poor strength can easily bring danger. You should choose branded condoms, or you can use those provided free of charge by the state.

2. When using a condom, remember that the man must put it on before touching the woman's body, and not put it on after entering, otherwise it will increase the risk of pregnancy. When wearing a condom, wear it firmly and don't put it on casually. It will be troublesome if it falls off during intercourse.

2. The woman inserts an intrauterine device

1. In many places, after giving birth, women will be required by the local family planning committee to insert an intrauterine contraceptive device, commonly known as "ring placement", if they have no plans to have a second child for the time being. This is a very safe and effective contraceptive method after giving birth. Compared with condoms, it is better for men. However, when a woman has an intrauterine device inserted, she must ensure that she is in good physical condition and has no inflammation of the cervix. Having an IUD inserted is generally painful, so your body needs to be able to endure it.

2. After the IUD is inserted, women should follow the doctor's advice and avoid bending over to do heavy work or having sex within a few days. After the transition period, the couple should also be careful when having sex. The man should not be too aggressive or penetrate too deeply, otherwise it may cause the IUD to shift over time. In addition, the ring should be checked regularly to see if it is in the correct position.

3. Male and female sterilization

Male and female sterilization is a contraceptive measure taken by a couple if they do not plan to have children in the future, namely vasectomy or tubal ligation. Female sterilization surgery should be avoided during menstruation to prevent infection.

4. Contraception during the safe period

Many mothers use the method of calculating the safe period for contraception before giving birth. In fact, this method of contraception does not work for mothers after giving birth.

The rhythm method is a physiological contraceptive method. It is only suitable for couples with regular menstrual cycles, regular life, long-term cohabitation, and mutual cooperation and understanding. For many new mothers, ovarian ovulation and the resumption of menstruation are not synchronized, and the menstrual cycle is irregular at this time. At the same time, the arrival of the baby disrupts the originally orderly life routine, and the mother's emotional instability can also lead to errors in calculating the safe period. Therefore, this method is not suitable for new mothers. Some new mothers have already ovulated before their menstruation resumes. Therefore, the timing of contraception should be grasped during breastfeeding, especially in the middle of breastfeeding. If you are used to using safe period contraception before marriage, it is best to switch to other contraceptive methods if menstruation does not return after childbirth.

The above is a detailed introduction to the best contraceptive methods after giving birth. Some women are not very adaptable to the placement of the IUD, which causes a series of inflammations and complications. Some people are allergic to condoms, etc., so not everyone is suitable for the contraceptive methods we introduce. You must be cautious and consider carefully when choosing a specific method of contraception, and never make a careless or blind choice.
