DIFFERENT TYPES OF CONTRACEPTIVE METHOD

 

WHAT IS CONTRACEPTIVE

 

Contraceptives are methods or devices used to prevent pregnancy by either blocking fertilization or preventing implantation of a fertilized egg in the uterus. These methods can be hormonal or non-hormonal and are used by individuals or couples who wish to avoid pregnancy or space their children.


Contraceptives can be used in different forms such as pills, injections, intrauterine devices (IUDs), vaginal rings, condoms, diaphragms, and cervical caps, among others. Each type of contraceptive has its own mode of action and effectiveness rate. Some methods, such as hormonal contraceptives, work by releasing hormones that prevent ovulation, while others, such as barrier methods like condoms and diaphragms, work by physically preventing sperm from reaching the egg.

It is important to note that while contraceptives are effective in preventing pregnancy, they do not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Therefore, it is recommended that individuals use a barrier method, such as condoms, in addition to other forms of contraception if they are not in a monogamous relationship or are at risk of contracting an STI.

Overall, contraceptives provide individuals with a way to make informed decisions about their reproductive health and family planning goals. They offer a wide range of options for people of all ages, genders, and lifestyles to help prevent unintended pregnancy and maintain control over their sexual health.

GENERAL GUDELINES FOR USE CONTRACEPTIVE

The usage of contraceptives can vary depending on the type of contraceptive being used. Here are some general guidelines:

  1. Barrier methods: Contraceptives like condoms, diaphragms, and cervical caps act as a physical barrier to prevent the sperm from reaching the egg. These contraceptives need to be used every time a person has sex. Before sex, place the condom on an erect penis and make sure there are no tears or holes. For diaphragms and cervical caps, they must be inserted into the vagina and placed over the cervix before sex. It's important to follow the instructions provided with the barrier method to ensure proper usage.
  2. Hormonal methods: Contraceptives like birth control pills, patches, injections, and vaginal rings use hormones to prevent ovulation. These contraceptives need to be taken or used consistently according to the instructions provided. Birth control pills, for example, need to be taken at the same time every day. The patch must be applied to the skin once a week for three weeks, followed by one week without a patch. Injections must be given every three months, while vaginal rings need to be inserted into the vagina for three weeks, followed by one week without the ring.
  3. Intrauterine devices (IUDs): IUDs are small, T-shaped devices that are inserted into the uterus by a healthcare provider. They can be hormonal or non-hormonal and can last for several years. Once inserted, there is no need to remember to take or use anything before sex.
  4. Emergency contraception: Emergency contraception can be used after unprotected sex to prevent pregnancy. It is not a regular form of contraception and should only be used in emergencies. There are two types of emergency contraception: pills and the copper IUD. The pills must be taken within a certain timeframe after sex, while the copper IUD must be inserted by a healthcare provider within five days of unprotected sex.

Effectiveness of contraceptives can vary and no method is 100% effective at preventing pregnancy or sexually transmitted infections. It's also essential to talk to a healthcare provider to determine the best contraceptive method for each individual and to learn about the proper usage and potential side effects.

USE AND PRECAUTIONS

Different types of contraceptives require different methods of use and precautions. Here are some general guidelines on how to use common types of contraceptives with precautions:

  1. Condoms: Condoms are one of the most widely used forms of contraception. To use a condom, make sure to check the expiration date and package for any visible damage. When using a male condom, ensure that the penis is erect before rolling the condom down to the base of the penis. Use only water-based lubricants as oil-based ones can weaken the condom. After ejaculation, hold the base of the condom while withdrawing the penis to prevent it from slipping off. For female condoms, follow the instructions provided on the package.
  2. Birth Control Pills: Birth control pills are a hormonal contraceptive taken orally. Take the pill at the same time every day, preferably within a few hours of the same time. It is important to follow the instructions provided with the pill, which may differ depending on the brand. Women who smoke, are over 35 years of age, or have a history of blood clots should consult with a doctor before taking birth control pills.
  3. Intrauterine Device (IUD): An IUD is a T-shaped device inserted into the uterus by a healthcare professional. There are two types of IUDs - hormonal and non-hormonal. The device can stay in place for several years, but a healthcare professional should remove it when necessary.
  4. Contraceptive Implant: A contraceptive implant is a small, thin rod inserted under the skin of the upper arm by a healthcare professional. The implant releases hormones into the body that prevent pregnancy for up to three years.
  5. Diaphragm/Cervical Cap: A diaphragm or cervical cap is a barrier method of contraception that covers the cervix to prevent sperm from entering the uterus. The device should be inserted by a healthcare professional, who will provide instructions on how to insert and remove it.

It is important to note that no contraceptive method is 100% effective and all methods have potential side effects and risks. Consult with a healthcare professional to determine the best contraceptive method for you and to learn more about proper use and precautions.
