Birth Control

Contraception, or birth control, is what you need to do if you don't want to get pregnant or make your partner pregnant. There are a lot of different ways to stop having children. One more way to avoid getting pregnant is to stay away from men.

How to Pick the Best Birth Control

Which type of birth control works best for me?

There are many things that affect which type of birth control you choose. How old are you? Is the method available where you live? How well does the method fit in with your culture? How do you and your partner feel about it?

Do I need to stop having babies?

It's very risky to have sexual relations without birth control when you don't want to have a baby. It can make your whole world go crazy.

How to Stop Having Children

Birth control does not always work as well as other types. Plus, different people work best with different things. Let us talk about the different kinds of birth control you can use.

What is not using drugs?

For the most part, abstinence means not having sex. Being sexual and close to someone is fun even if you don't do anything sexual.

What is an IUD?

An intrauterine device, or IUD, is a small birth control pill that is put into the uterus. There are two kinds: the hormonal kind and the copper kind.

What does Copper T mean?

Many stores sell the Copper-T IUD under the name "Multiload." It is a birth control method that doesn't use hormones and stays in your uterus or womb. It's a t-shaped piece of plastic with copper wire wound around it. That's why some people call it a "coil."

What is Mirena or Hormonal IUD?

It can stay in the body for up to five years after being put in by a doctor. It does its job by releasing a low level of the hormone levonorgestrel, which is a progestogen.

What is the pull out or exit method?

As soon as a man pulls his penis out of a woman's vagina, semen starts to come out of it. This is called withdrawal. It's also called the pull out method or coitus interruptus.

Outside sex or sex without penetration

Some people have different ideas about what "outercourse" means. Some people think of outercourse as any kind of sex play that isn't sexual contact, like the act of a man inserting his penis into the vagina of a woman. For some, outercourse means sex play that doesn't go any deeper (oral, anal, or vaginal).

Multiple Methods of Contraception

Need to know about emergency contraception, the i-pill, and unwanted 72?

You have engaged in sexual activity without the use of contraception, despite your desire to avoid becoming pregnant. Alternatively, you may be concerned that your method of birth control was flawed; for example, you may have forgotten to take your pill or your condom may have broken. Are you at a loss?

Put a condom on correctly.

A condom is a little, tube-shaped protection that either a man wears over his penis during sexual activity or a woman inserts into her vagina before having sexual relations. Gather more information about them.

The pill, what is it?

This is a daily tablet that women take. Oestrogen and progestin are the two hormones found in combined birth control pills. Progestin is the only ingredient in "mini-pills" or "pills" containing just progestin.

Emergency contraception is what?

Contraception in an emergency is not a typical means of preventing pregnancy. However, it functions as a condom replacement or after an unprotected sexual encounter to avoid pregnancy. Two varieties exist:

Providers place tiny T-shaped devices called copper intrauterine devices (IUDs) into patients within 120 hours of their first unprotected sexual encounter.
Hormonal medications called emergency contraceptive pills (ECPs) that a woman should take right after an unprotected sexual encounter.

The Benefits of the Tablets

less heavy periods
periods on a regular schedule may alleviate premenstrual syndrome (PMS), clear up acne, and lower the chance of developing cancers of the uterus and ovaries.

Negative Effects of the Tablets

Tenderness in the breasts, nausea, abnormal bleeding, migraines, and changes in mood are some of the side effects. As time goes on, most of these symptoms go away.
Some anti-seizure, HIV, and antibiotic medications may interfere with birth control pills.

Risks

Clots in the blood: Pills may increase blood clot and stroke risk. Among the several types of blood clots are pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis. Though uncommon, these illnesses pose a serious risk to one's life.

Hypertension: Medications have the potential to marginally elevate blood pressure levels. This rise is negligible and will have no negative impact on the health of the majority of people.
You raise your risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke by using nicotine products (e-cigarettes, chewing tobacco and vape pens) while taking the tablet. As you age, this risk becomes more pronounced.
