Harmful factors during pregnancy, contraception

In our article "harmful factors during pregnancy, contraception" you will learn: how to prevent premature pregnancy.

The list of drugs that protect against unwanted pregnancy is quite impressive. How to figure out what is right for you?
In the fact that every second sexual intercourse leads to pregnancy, they were sure that our unenlightened great-grandmothers, giving birth to as many children as God will send. Since then very much has changed. Today every woman has the right to decide when and how much she should plan for children, and the joke that in the purse of every self-respecting woman should be hidden, at least two condoms, does not seem ridiculous for a long time. The appearance of hormonal and other drugs designed to prevent ovulation and fertilization, has revolutionized not only fertility issues, but also the minds of the fair sex. Finally you can relax and enjoy all the joys of life!

Colored, fragrant, pimply, ribbed, with antennae, funny and funny condoms made of the finest, almost imperceptible latex, will protect against unwanted pregnancy and most infections that are sexually transmitted. To barrier means of protection carry also a cervical cap, a diaphragm, a female condom (but before an infection they will not resist).

Today, besides barrier means, there are many different methods of contraception. Intrauterine devices include intrauterine devices. The method has few side effects, but it is contraindicated to nulliparous women. Hormonal contraceptives have a high degree of protection and are fairly simple to use, and bribe women who are increasingly choosing this method. The doctor can recommend to you combined oral tablets, gestagen-containing preparations, injections of gestagens or implants containing gestagens. The task of hormonal contraceptives is to prevent ovulation. Despite its high reliability, hormonal contraception is not as safe as it might seem at first glance, and it can not be used constantly. Approach to the choice of any tool should be extremely cautious and balanced, because with prolonged use of synthetic hormones, the body stops producing its own hormones, which is unsafe for the female reproductive sphere and for the body as a whole.

There are also a number of agents (foaming candles, vaginal tablets and suppositories, sprays, gels) that are introduced into the vagina, where they create a destructive environment for spermatozoa: they lose their activity and can not move towards the egg. The method is not very reliable, and can be ineffective in repeated sexual acts, besides it does not work with too sensitive mucous vagina.

The cardinal method of contraception is sterilization - both female and male. This irreversible operation is performed in rare cases: for example, when the spouses can not give birth to a healthy child because of severe hereditary pathologies.

The most harmless, but also unreliable natural method of contraception is biological - it excludes hormones, chemistry and "barriers", which means, any side effects and risks to health. Biological refers to the calendar (the woman calculates the safe days when conception is impossible), the temperature (on different days of the cycle, the temperature indicates the absence or onset of ovulation) and the basal (by the nature of the mucous secretions from the cervix) methods, as well as interrupted (before the ejaculation) sexual intercourse. Do not forget that you really need "jeweler" accuracy and accuracy, otherwise you will not be able to provide 100% protection from pregnancy.
