What are the commonly used contraceptive methods?

With the development of society, people are becoming more and more open-minded, and there are many people living together before marriage. However, many people lack safety awareness. If they do not pay attention to contraception, it is easy to get pregnant. If they do not want to get pregnant and go for an abortion, it will cause great harm to female friends. Therefore, it is important to understand the methods of contraception, especially female friends. So, let us understand what are the commonly used contraceptive methods!

1. Calculate ovulation period

Failure rate: 2-20%

Calculating a woman's ovulation period is a natural contraceptive method that does not use any contraceptive measures. The advantage is that it will not cause any impact or side effects on the body. However, the failure rate is very high. Firstly, it is because a woman's ovulation period often varies, making it difficult to accurately calculate the ovulation period. Secondly, it requires full cooperation between the couple and regular sex life.

2. Condoms

Failure rate: 2-15%

Most people choose condoms as a contraceptive method simply because they are easy to buy and use. However, condoms are easily affected by human factors during use, such as improper wearing, falling off or being torn during use, which will affect the contraceptive effect. In addition, some people may be allergic to rubber products, causing discomfort, and some people believe that using condoms will affect pleasure. However, condoms do have the effect of preventing sexually transmitted diseases and infectious diseases. Therefore, it is recommended to use it together with other contraceptive methods.

3. IUD

Failure rate: 0.3-2%

The intrauterine device is a long-term contraceptive method that can remain in the uterus for up to 5 years and has a high contraceptive success rate. However, some people, especially young women or women who have never given birth, may feel aversion to it and feel uncomfortable. In addition, wearing an IUD may increase and prolong women's menstrual flow, or cause bleeding outside of menstrual periods.
