What to do if you don't take contraceptive measures

There are many forms of contraception, including traditional contraceptive measures, condoms, birth control pills, etc. Of course, with the advancement of medical means, contraceptive measures have also been further developed. Traditional contraceptive methods will bring some unhealthy factors to the human body. New contraceptive methods have greatly reduced unhealthy factors and enhanced the effect of contraception. What should we do if we don’t take contraceptive measures during sexual life? Let’s take a look together.

1. Intrauterine device

Artificially placing foreign objects in the uterine cavity, usually metal rings, inhibits the implantation of the embryonic sac. Some contraceptive rings contain contraceptives and copper to increase the contraceptive effect.

2. Taking birth control pills

Most of today's contraceptives (short-acting and long-acting) are made of estrogens mixed in a certain proportion. Women of different ages should choose different dosage forms of contraceptive drugs. If they choose the wrong one, it may cause harm to the body.

3. Condoms for contraception

When there is no good defense against sexually transmitted diseases, especially AIDS, condoms are considered the best contraceptive protection method.

4. Contraception during the safe period

Safe period contraception is not necessarily safe, because the stimulation of sexual contact during intercourse can cause women to ovulate extra, making it easy to conceive on the same day. This method is not suitable for breastfeeding mothers.

5. Take emergency contraceptive pills

Emergency contraceptive pills refer to contraceptive methods used to prevent pregnancy within a period of time after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. Drug contraception is the most commonly used method. Women can consider taking emergency contraceptive drugs if they suffer accidental injuries or have unprotected sex for other reasons, or if contraception fails, such as condom breakage, slippage, or incorrect calculation of the safe period. The drugs are effective within 72 hours after intercourse. If they have sex again while taking the drugs, the time must be recalculated. After healthy women of childbearing age have ruled out pregnancy, the drug should be used within 72-120 hours after sexual intercourse. The earlier it is taken, the better the effect. The failure rate is often higher if it is taken more than 72 hours.

6. Vasectomy

Sterilization, also known as birth control. Sterilization is an effective method of long-term contraception. Not only women can undergo sterilization for contraception, but men can also undergo sterilization. However, the physiological structures of men and women are different. The male vas deferens can be easily found superficially in the scrotum, while the female fallopian tubes are more difficult to find inside the body. Therefore, in terms of safety, it is men who should undergo sterilization surgery.

The above is a detailed answer to what to do if contraceptive measures are not taken. Many young people do not like to use contraceptive measures in sexual life, which is normal. Of course, some contraceptive methods can be taken before or after the event. This is a manifestation of being responsible for your own health and can better protect yourself.
