The issue of the control of childbearing in the world has always been and remains relevant, that is why today a great number of methods, methods and means for the control of conception were invented. Each of the methods has its pluses and minuses, and also has a certain degree of efficiency. There are methods absolutely harmless to the woman's body, and there are those that can cause considerable harm. In this case, it is necessary to assess the compliance of the shortcomings of a particular method and its degree of effectiveness. The most harmless and popular method for a long time was biological. It was based on the calculation of favorable and unfavorable days for conception and represented a simple restriction of sexual activity on favorable days.
Of course, this method, as well as the method of an interrupted sexual intercourse - is an unreliable way to prevent pregnancy, because a female organism can be reconstructed and the cycle will not be completely uniform, and therefore the information obtained for following the biological method may be incorrect. There are also more reliable methods, the main and most popular of which we will consider further.
Disadvantages of the barrier methods of contraception
So, let's start with the simplest and most common methods - barrier contraceptives. These include condoms that take up more than 40% of the market for all contraceptives and are very popular, despite the already proven scientific inefficiency in some cases. That is, in fact, condoms are very risky, but by taking nothing else - it is better to use them. This is the main shortcoming of this barrier contraceptive. The main danger with the use of condoms is the possibility of developing an allergic reaction to latex and rubber. If this happens, then you will not be able to have normal sex for a long time, and condoms will forever be a ban for you.
Another barrier contraceptive is the vaginal diaphragm. This, in fact, is also a condom, but vice versa. It is injected directly into the vagina and should be used together with spermicidal agents, which enhances its effectiveness. The main drawback is the need to properly install the diaphragm, because with improper insertion it becomes ineffective. A vytopasnost when using the vaginal diaphragm two - this is the possibility of the infection of the urogenital system with strong barrier pressure on the urethra, as well as the possibility of the inflammation of female sexual organs. It is unlikely that any of the women wants for themselves such consequences.
The use of an intrauterine spiral is its main disadvantages
Today, many doctors are inclined to recommend women to install intrauterine devices, which are considered a very effective contraceptive. But there are a few clarifications. First of all, it is necessary to understand that the use of the IUD can only be healthy already giving birth to women. It should be installed by a gynecologist in a certain phase of the cycle, after which a medical examination takes place within a few weeks. The spiral is a method of reverse action, since it is based on the prevention of embryo fixation. Today there are several hypotheses about the mechanism of action of the intrauterine device, but their essence is approximately the same. Use a spiral is not possible for women who have contraindications to use on the basis of basic health indicators. However, it is more than indicated to those women who, due to certain circumstances, can not take hormonal contraceptives.
There are several dangerous moments when using IUDs - these are expulsions that are observed during the first days after the establishment of the spiral, as well as the possibility of uterine bleeding. Such bleeding can manifest as stronger menstruation, as well as in the quality of blood coagulation. In rare cases, for example against a background of inflammatory diseases, wearing a spiral can lead to infertility. It is necessary to mention once again that the IUD can be the best option for a healthy, healthy woman who has a regular sexual partner and does not suffer from inflammatory diseases of the genitourinary system.
Modern oral contraceptives - harm or benefit?
Oral contraceptives today are one of the most popular and commonly used methods of contraception. They have a lot of advantages, but they also have certain drawbacks. The most popular today are exactly the combined oral contraceptives. They have a high level of efficiency - almost 98% in case of their correct application. Two percent are left in case the woman forgets to take the tablet. However, COCs have a long list of contraindications and those health conditions in which they can not be used. For example, sickle-cell anemia, obesity, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, thromboembolism, hypertension, epilepsy and frequent headaches are direct indications for using other contraceptive methods, but not KOC.
Actually, the danger of tablets, with all their advantages, is the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases, the possibility of blood clots, the appearance of headaches, an increase in weight, which is of particular concern to many women. There are also a lot of side effects associated with the emotional state of women: a decrease in libido, frequent hot flashes and troubles, irritability and so on. It is very important before taking any oral contraceptives, consult a physician who will conduct an examination, make basic tests, study anamnesis and can prescribe the most acceptable variant of oral contraceptives with the necessary content and distribution of hormones. If you have contraindications, then the method of contraception can be chosen another.
