The most unsafe contraceptive method in the eyes of doctors

It is reported that a new contraceptive method is popular in the United States - using thermometers, mobile phone apps, etc. to test whether contraceptive measures are needed. Experts pointed out that this contraceptive method seems trendy, but there are many factors that affect women's basal body temperature, and it is not reliable to determine whether ovulation has occurred in one go.

From the report, we learned that these contraceptive apps can measure women's basal body temperature to determine whether ovulation has occurred and whether contraceptive measures need to be taken during sexual intercourse. However, experts point out that women's basal body temperature during ovulation is 0.3-0.5 degrees Celsius higher than usual, but factors such as length of sleep and whether or not they are woken up by an alarm clock will affect women's body temperature. Therefore, this "safe period" contraceptive method is not safe.

Which contraceptive methods are unsafe?

Safe period contraception

In fact, due to irregular menstruation, some women cannot calculate the ovulation period. Even if your menstrual periods are regular, your ovulation period may fluctuate from month to month, or you may misremember the time. Therefore, the "safe period" is actually not safe, and many women fall victim to sexual misconduct during the so-called safe period.

Contraception by ejaculation outside the body.

Because a small amount of sperm has already been released from men before ejaculation, the amount is enough to make a woman pregnant. Moreover, this method requires extremely high self-control from the man, is difficult to master, and has a high failure rate.

Emergency contraceptive pills

This drug is only effective for one unprotected sexual intercourse, and its effectiveness is significantly lower than that of conventional contraceptive methods. In addition, emergency contraceptives have large hormone doses and severe side effects, and can easily cause menstrual disorders, irregular bleeding, etc., and cannot replace conventional contraception.

Improper condom use

Not using it every time you have sex, or not wearing it from the beginning of intercourse, but waiting until you feel like ejaculating.
