What do you know about contraception?

In recent years, due to people's lack of attention to the issue of contraception, the number of people undergoing abortion has gradually increased, which has a great impact on our daily lives as women. But in fact, there are many ways for women to use contraception, and sometimes a little attention can have a contraceptive effect. However, there are also some classifications of contraceptive methods used at different age stages. Let's talk about it below.

1. Condoms

Condoms are a non-drug form of preventing conception. They are mainly used to prevent human sperm and eggs from combining during sexual intercourse to prevent pregnancy. In addition, condoms also prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea and AIDS (HIV), so they are also called condoms. Today's condoms are usually made of natural rubber or polyurethane.

2. Contraceptive pills

Contraceptive pills generally refer to oral contraceptives, which include female oral contraceptive pills and male oral contraceptive pills. Its contraceptive principle is mainly to inhibit ovulation and change the cervical mucus to make it difficult for sperm to penetrate, or to reduce the production of glycogen in the uterine glands to make it difficult for the blastocyst to survive, or to change the activity of the uterus and fallopian tubes to hinder the transportation of the fertilized egg. A drug that prevents sperm and egg from combining to form a fertilized egg, thereby achieving the purpose of contraception.

3. IUD

The intrauterine device, also known as the IUD, was developed in ancient times. It is recorded that ancient Arabs and Turks placed small stones in the camel's uterus to prevent the camel from becoming pregnant during long journeys in the desert. In the mid-11th century, the Israeli scientist Avicenna reported the use of contraceptive pessaries. In the late 19th century, metal handles were used to correct the position of the uterus, induce labor, and prevent pregnancy. In fact, these devices do not enter the uterine cavity and are not true functional IUDs.

So these are some of the most common methods of contraception for women. The contraceptive effect is also very good, but sometimes you must follow some matters. For example, when taking contraceptives, you must pay attention to taking them on time and in the right amount. Too little will not achieve the contraceptive effect, and too much will affect women's endocrine health.
