Which is better, condoms or IUDs?

When it comes to contraception, many young people have deep feelings about it. Generally speaking, they use condoms for contraception. However, there are various types and materials of condoms on the market. If the condom breaks, it may lead to an unwanted pregnancy. For some women, they hope to have a permanent contraceptive solution, so they choose to have an IUD inserted. So the question is, is it better to have an IUD or a condom?

As to which is better, condoms or IUDs, let’s not jump to conclusions. First, let’s analyze the pros and cons of using condoms and IUDs, and then it’s not too late to make a choice.

The IUD that women wear is a metal foreign body installed in the female uterus, which causes a non-bacterial inflammatory reaction in the uterus. When the IUD is placed in the uterus, the uterus will move due to external stimulation from the foreign body, which will prevent the fertilized egg from implanting in the warm mother's uterus and growing and sprouting.

Advantages: It has good contraceptive effect and is less harmful to women's body than birth control pills.

Disadvantages: Not every woman is suitable for IUD insertion. Many women will experience worsening inflammation or even heavy bleeding after insertion. In addition, the IUD cannot completely prevent pregnancy. Domestic and foreign data show that the incidence of pregnancy with IUD insertion is 1%-3%.

Everyone should be familiar with condoms, so I won’t say much about them.

Advantages: safe, convenient, no side effects, and a wide variety of flavors to choose from. (Sometimes changing a condom is like changing a husband)

Disadvantages: The touch...isn't really that great.

To sum up, condoms take the least time and energy, cause no harm to the body, and are the most suitable contraceptive measure. However, IUD insertion has a great impact on women's physical health, and if it is found to be unsuitable after insertion, surgery will be required to remove it. Therefore, it is recommended to decide whether to have an IUD insertion based on your own situation.
