In other cases, the way to protect against unwanted pregnancy is better to think before intercourse, and not after. To date, there is a huge selection of contraceptives that allow you to easily choose the most suitable way and get pregnant when the woman is ready for it and wants it. That is why, I want to talk today in more detail about modern methods of female contraception.
Did you know that very often after an abortion a woman can not have children, becomes barren, despite the fact that modern medicine has stepped forward and offers non-surgical and "safe" abortions. According to statistics, every fifth woman who has been through abortion can become barren, and irreversibly. If we imagine that women will not be able to bear children because of their infertility or because of infertility of men (by the way, they are not too few), then it is not difficult to imagine our country, and maybe the entire planet in 50 years. Extinction, the disappearance of nations. That's why it's time to think about the future right now. That is why, every woman should think in advance when she wants to have children, and until then choose modern methods of female contraception in order to avoid abortion, and in the future - to give birth to a healthy child. After all, it is so important to preserve a unique female feature - the conception of a child. So how to choose a reliable modern contraceptive to live peacefully, not to think about unwanted pregnancy, and at the right time to conceive a child? How to make it so that you can plan pregnancy, have a coveted child? Of course, choose the best option for contraception. To date, there are many modern methods of female contraception. I will not describe them all, I will only talk about the most famous and tested, and also make a small comparison of contraceptive methods. It is worth noting that novelties in the world of contraception appear quite often. It is worth to follow them closely, perhaps you will find a more suitable method for yourself. So, we proceed to the description.
Interrupted intercourse
The interrupted sexual intercourse was also used by our great-great-great-great-grandmothers. And what is the result? Large families, almost constant state of pregnancy. Interrupted intercourse is one of the most unreliable methods of prevention. Not only is it not effective (you can get pregnant in every second case), so it also negatively affects the health of partners. A man may lose an erection, a woman - there will be problems with stagnation of blood in the pelvis, a decrease in sexual desire and other problems in the genital area. The fact is that right up to the moment of ejaculation, spermatozoa that are in the prefamily fluid can absolutely penetrate the vagina, then get to the egg and fertilize. That is why interrupted intercourse is considered one of the most unreliable ways to protect against unwanted pregnancy. In addition, this method of protection is strictly not suitable for casual relationships, for the first sex with an unfamiliar partner, because it does not protect against venereal diseases. This method of protection should be treated with caution. Do not have sex with a stranger, if there is no other, more modern ways of protection on hand. Postpone the sexual contact until another time.
Calendar method.
The calendar method, another way is called the method of safe days. It consists in the following: scientists have revealed that in the women's menstrual cycle there are different periods. It is believed that the fertilization of the egg can occur only during certain days (there may be up to 15 per month). In the rest of the days - conception is impossible, and you can have sex without fear of unwanted pregnancy. However, it is worth noting that even with a regular cycle, the percentage of protection from fertilization of the ovum does not exceed 40-50%. Did you know that spermatozoa can remain in the body of a woman and wait for ovulation for 9 (!) Days. In addition, the menstrual cycle in a woman is purely individual, and with absolute accuracy "safe days", perhaps, can not be one doctor. It is also worth noting that the woman's menstrual cycle is not very reliable, it can change due to any external factors. It can change even if you are just nervous, cold, tired. Immediately everything goes astray. In order to make an accurate schedule of your menstrual cycle you need to know your body, fix the cycle every day, track changes. And all this for two (!) Years. The modern rhythm of life does not allow women to spend so much time on this, because, every day, doing business, caring. Let me summarize: the calendar method has its advantages, but, it is extremely unreliable, do not try fate. Yes, they were often used in the past, but only because there were no other ways.
Douching.
Another method from the past. Unfortunately, even though there are so many other modern methods of female contraception today, many women still use douching. I'm talking about the chemical syringing of the vagina after intercourse. These substances are added to the water. And then, this composition douches the vagina. Yes, such a method of protection can protect you from unwanted infection, if you do not trust your partner, but he can not get rid of an unwanted pregnancy. At the time of ejaculation, the sperm is ejected by a powerful jet and the spermatozoa begin to move very actively and quickly towards their goal. If you add to this auspicious days, the location of the body for conception, then the pregnancy will still come. In addition, that douching does not help with unwanted pregnancy, it can still harm the female body with frequent use. Douching dries the mucous membrane in the vagina, changes the flora, kills the necessary bacteria. Instead of a healthy flora, foreign and pathogenic bacteria appear in the woman's vagina, which can cause inflammatory processes. The effectiveness of douching is only 15%. So is it worth it to use?
Condom.
Perhaps the most popular way to protect against unwanted pregnancy is a condom. This is the most popular and most often advertised way to protect not only from unwanted pregnancy, but also from sexually transmitted infections and sexually transmitted diseases. Condoms are ideal for young girls who have casual connections. This will help to avoid problems with diseases. But with pregnancy the situation is slightly different. The degree of protection of a condom from pregnancy is not more than 50%. It all depends on the quality of the rubber product, how long it has been stored, and also on the woman's ability to conceive, and men for fertilization. If a low-quality condom is used during intercourse, then it can tear, or stripes can appear on it, through which spermatozoa can easily penetrate the vagina, especially if they are active. If a woman is currently ovulating, then pregnancy can result. In addition, condoms often fly, if this happens, then it is impossible to speak not only about protection from unwanted pregnancy, but also about protection from sexual infections. Therefore, choose only quality and tested condoms. Do not store them for long, choose the right size.
Diaphragm.
The next popular method of modern female contraception is the diaphragm. However, this method has its own peculiarities, because of which not every representative of the weaker sex can use it. First of all, let's look at what a diaphragm is. It is a resilient bezel, on which stretched rubber. Outwardly very similar to the cap. Before the onset of intercourse, the diaphragm is inserted into the vagina, so as to block the opening into which the spermatozoa pass. The diaphragm should be tightly put on the cervix to provide the necessary protection against unwanted pregnancy. Each woman is individual, as well as her vagina and cervix. That's why, it's not recommended to buy a diaphragm on your own. It is necessary to consult a doctor who will choose the right size of the diaphragm. In addition, during the use of the diaphragm, a woman should also use a special gel that contains hormones. The reliability of this method of preventing unwanted pregnancies is 80%. Remove the diaphragm from the vagina can be a few hours after sexual intercourse. As for the complexity of this method and the fact that it is not suitable for everyone. Not every woman can properly wear the diaphragm. And the gel that is used during the act, can cause a negative impact: because of it, the cervix becomes slippery, and the diaphragm will jump off it. In addition, even if there are no such negative points, the frequent use of a female cap can lead to the development of female diseases, for example, erosion of the cervix, or cause an inflammatory process. Also, the diaphragm is not recommended for young girls who have not yet given birth. So it turns out that only those couples who trust each other can use this way of protection from unwanted pregnancy, and the female anatomy feature allows to put on a female cap. In addition, the diaphragm does not protect against sexual infections and diseases.
Spirals.
Intrauterine devices of the IUD in another way are called spirals. They are a very popular and effective way to protect against unwanted pregnancy. The efficiency is almost 80%. In addition, it is very convenient. A gynecologist introduces a spiral into the uterus for a period of 5 years, and during this time, a woman can be absolutely calm. If, of course, this method of protection is suitable and there are no contraindications. Previously, spirals were placed only for women giving birth, but today the medicine also offers spirals, which can be put to the nulliparous girls. The essence of the action of the spiral is as follows: the uterine cavity always remains slightly open. The inflammatory reaction that occurs on the spot due to the fact that the copper spiral deprives the spermatozoa of its fertilizing abilities. However, the intrauterine device also has negative sides. Due to the fact that this is still a foreign body, our body tries to get rid of it. Because of the spiral, the volume of menstrual flow increases, in addition, pain may appear during menstruation. The woman's uterus always remains open for various infections, there is a risk of an ectopic pregnancy. As you can see, the use of the intrauterine device has a lot of contraindications, so this method of modern contraception should be selected by the doctor, based on the characteristics of the female body. From sexual infections, the spiral also does not protect. Therefore, it is possible to use such a modern method of female contraception only for those who have lived for a long time and are confident in the honesty of their partner.
Especially I want to note the existence of spirals, which include leponorgestrel - a special hormone that prevents pregnancy. He regularly enters the uterus from a spiral, due to this, pregnancy does not occur. In addition, this drug has no side effects, like birth control pills, because it does not enter the woman's blood and does not cause weight gain, nausea, vomiting and other side effects. Such a spiral should be installed by a doctor. It is worn for no more than 5 years, then it must be removed. However, this method of female contraception has even more contraindications. Therefore, choose a method of protection from an unwanted pregnancy should only a doctor. It fits only a small number of women. The use of such a spiral can lead to violations of the menstrual cycle and many other undesirable consequences.
Chemical contraception.
The chemical method of contraception is quite convenient. It includes the use of tampons and candles, creams that protect against genital infections. The degree of protection from unwanted pregnancy reaches 75%. This method of female concentration is best used in combination with a condom, then the reliability of the method of protection reaches 100%. However, it is worth paying attention to the fact that chemical contraception does not last more than an hour, when it comes into contact with detergents (soap, shower gel), they lose their properties. In addition, regular use of chemical contraception can lead to a change in the flora of the vagina. That's why, do not abuse this method of protection.
Hormonal injections. Pills.
In the last century, the appearance of hormonal tablets was a real breakthrough in the field of female contraception. The degree of reliability of this method of protection against unwanted pregnancy reaches 97%. The principle of action of hormonal tablets is based on the process of blocking ovulation. The egg simply does not come out of the ovary, as a result, the spermatozoa have nothing to fertilize. An important condition for obtaining the maximum effect from the use of hormonal tablets can be achieved if you follow the instructions exactly and follow all the prescriptions. It is very important that the tablets are picked up by a gynecologist. It should be noted that hormone pills have a number of contraindications and side effects, even if you have side effects, the package still has to be drunk to the end, otherwise there may be problems with the menstrual cycle, ovarian failure and other unpleasant moments. If the hormone pills do not fit, then the doctor should pick up the other pills.
Hormonal methods of contraception include hormonal injections. They use the same hormone as in the spiral, levonorgestrel. Hormonal injections are also reliable, as are hormone pills. It is enough to inject injections once every 2 months to obtain the effect of maximum safety, at which hormone release occurs gradually, which prevents an unwanted pregnancy. However, like any method, hormonal injections and pills have their contraindications. There may be problems with menstrual bleeding, there may be spotting in the middle of the cycle. If, in the case of hormonal tablets, this can be solved, if you do not start to drink the next package, then in the case of a prick, you have to wait until the end of the effect, and only then choose another method of contraception. Do this only under the supervision and supervision of a doctor.
Nova Ring.
I also want to talk about one of the new ways of female contraception - the Ring of Nova Ring. This is a hormonal ring that must be inserted into the vagina and left there for 21 days (full menstrual cycle). On the assurance of doctors, doctors, this method of contraception is very effective and convenient, with him you can lead an active lifestyle, do not worry about an unwanted pregnancy. You can actively engage in sports, live a full life. The ring has a unique structure that allows it to occupy the entire vaginal cavity, adjust to the contours of the body. Nova Ring has no side effects, and the degree of protection from unwanted pregnancy is 99%. Despite this, on the Internet, among women completely different reviews of this method of protection. Therefore, it is necessary to select this method only after consulting with a doctor.
Hormonal plaster
Recently, a new method of female contraception - a hormonal patch - takes on special popularity. It is stuck on any part of the body. In the package you are offered three plasters, each for 77 days, after which it is necessary to take a break also for 7 days, and then again to paste a new one. Doctors and doctors assure that there are no side effects of this method, in addition, he even has special useful properties. The reliability of the hormonal patch is 99.5%. Despite the fact that this method is suitable for many, there are cases when there is an individual intolerance is best to consult a doctor.
Sterilization.
Lastly, I want to talk about the most effective and irreversible method of contraception - female sterilization. Of course, this is a very radical method, it is very good to think over the pros and cons. With the help of this method it turns out that spermatozoa do not reach the ovule. However, it is worthwhile to understand that after you undergo an operation, the consequences will be irreversible, and you can never have children.
Contraception is simple and easy, you just have to choose your method. Understand that it is better now to think about how to prevent an unwanted pregnancy, than to think about an abortion later. Properly selected contraception will allow you to plan pregnancy and give birth to healthy children.
