How to prevent pregnancy?

My boyfriend and I have been living together for more than a year. What contraceptive measures are there for fertility? We have never taken any contraceptive measures. Everything was fine at the beginning and I didn't get pregnant. After living together for half a year, I didn't have my period for a month. I went to the hospital for a check-up and found out that I was pregnant. I had an abortion in the hospital and rested for a while. Then I got pregnant again after we got together again. The doctor told me a lot of contraceptive measures, and I will tell you right away.

Short-acting oral contraceptives

It is easy to take, has reliable contraceptive effects, has few side effects, and does not affect future fertility.

How to take: Generally take the medicine on the first day of menstruation, one tablet a day, for 22 consecutive days without interruption. It not only provides safe contraception, but also regulates menstruation, and is helpful for symptoms such as premenstrual abdominal pain and irritability.

Many women found that their skin became smoother after taking it for a while. It causes side effects such as weight gain, acne, and increased hair, and is popular among many white-collar women.

Of course, we must pay attention to the problem of missed doses of short-acting oral contraceptives, as missed doses may cause menstrual disorders, contraceptive failure and other problems.

Emergency contraceptive pills

Many young white-collar workers find it troublesome to take medicine every day and are very fond of emergency contraceptive pills. It achieves the purpose of avoiding pregnancy by inhibiting follicle development, inhibiting or delaying ovulation, affecting endometrial development, interfering with implantation and other different links. The usage is to take the first tablet within 72 hours after sexual intercourse, and take the second tablet 12 hours later, for a total of two tablets. However, it must be emphasized that emergency contraceptive pills should only be used occasionally, because almost all emergency contraceptive pills work by inhibiting ovulation and endometrium. Therefore, taking it continuously and multiple times in the same menstrual cycle will increase the chance of menstrual disorders and the failure rate.

Topical contraceptives

Also known as spermicide, there are external contraceptive suppositories, contraceptive films, and contraceptive tablets. Topical contraceptives are used before each sexual intercourse and do not require a doctor's prescription or surgery, so they are more flexible. If used correctly, it is effective as a contraceptive. Some women may experience mild local irritation due to drug allergy. If this occurs, the drug should be discontinued.

Male Condoms

More commonly used. For women, this is a contraceptive method that is second only to oral contraceptives and safe period contraception in terms of comfort. Its advantages are that it is cheap, easy to purchase, has no side effects, has good contraceptive effects, and can prevent sexually transmitted diseases. However, mutual communication must be done and men must cooperate in using it correctly every time. Failure rate: The rate of accidental pregnancy within one year using this method is 3% (if used throughout the entire process each time) to 20% (if used only during the dangerous period or during ejaculation).

Safe period contraception

The advantage is that it is safe and has no side effects. However, it is easier to calculate the safe period for people with regular menstrual cycles; this method is not suitable for people with irregular cycles. And the accidental pregnancy rate of this method within one year is as high as 20%. Therefore, it is generally not recommended.

Intrauterine device

For white-collar women who have given birth, an intrauterine device can be placed. It is what ordinary people often call a "ring". It is usually made of anti-corrosion plastic or metal, and some are added with some drugs (such as those that can release female hormones or indomethacin, etc.). There are many shapes of uterine rings, such as round, uterine cavity-shaped, T-shaped, etc. Doctors can choose the appropriate uterine ring according to the condition of each person's uterus.

The above are the contraceptive measures that the doctor told me about. I really suffered a lot during these two pregnancies, which made my body much weaker. I want to tell you that if you don’t plan to have a baby, you must take contraceptive measures, otherwise the abortion will be very harmful to your body. After the operation, you must stay in bed as much as possible to rest and let your body recover, otherwise it is easy to leave sequelae.
