Why do women get pregnant despite taking birth control measures? The main reason for this is that the contraceptive method is incorrect and the contraceptive effect is not achieved. Next, I will introduce the common contraceptive methods and contraceptive misunderstandings commonly used by women for your reference.

　　Commonly used contraceptive methods for women

　　1. Female condom

　　Female condoms are made of polyurethane, coated with lubricant, and look similar to male Condoms are similar. It is inserted into the vagina with the closed end over the cervix. Like the male condom, it can only be used once.

　　2. Vaginal contraceptive sponge

　　The vaginal contraceptive sponge is round in shape, with a diameter of about 5.5 cm and a thickness of about 2.5 cm. One side is concave to cover the cervix, and one side has a ring-shaped strap to pull out the sponge after sex. The success rate is as high as 84%.

　　3. Contraceptive vaginal ring

　　The contraceptive vaginal ring is a soft and transparent ring with an outer diameter of 5.4mm. It only needs to be placed once a month. Women can easily insert it into the vagina themselves. After that, they do not need to use other contraceptive measures. It is a hormonal contraceptive method with a success rate of 92%. It was removed after 3 weeks and a new one was inserted after one week.

　　4. IUD

　　This scary-looking thing is called an IUD, and the “device” is called Uterus Built-in fixtures. It can remain in the uterus for five years from the time it is inserted into the body. For heavy menstrual bleeding and Dysmenorrhea It is especially suitable for women with a success rate of 99%, which means there is almost no possibility of pregnancy.

　　5. Female contraceptive patch

　　The contraceptive patch is about half the size of a business card, like a small flesh-colored sticker. By continuously releasing hormones, through skin , blood vessels enter the blood, thereby inhibiting ovulation, thereby achieving a contraceptive effect. It can be attached to any of the four areas: buttocks, abdomen, outer arms and outer shoulders, but cannot be attached to the chest. Apply one patch on the first day of your period or the first Sunday of your period, and replace it on the same day each week for three weeks. There is no need to use it during the fourth week. The patch is designed to be waterproof, so users don't have to worry about it falling off when bathing or swimming. The success rate is also as high as 92%.

　　Five common misunderstandings about daily contraception

　　1. Contraceptive pills will affect having a baby in the future

　　Short-acting contraceptive pills are highly efficient, low-toxic, and highly reliable. Because they are generally compound drugs containing estrogen and progesterone, most of the drugs and their metabolites will be excreted out of the body after stopping use for a few days. Therefore, the body has returned to normal pregnancy ability at this time. Just to achieve the best physical and mental state, it is recommended that women who want a baby follow the instructions or follow the doctor's advice to stop taking contraceptive pills for a period of time before choosing to get pregnant calmly.

　　2、medical abortion It’s also a great contraceptive tip

　　Real contraception should be a way to prevent problems before they occur, as the saying goes, "avoiding pregnancy", while medical abortion is just a way to make up for the situation after an unexpected pregnancy, so it is definitely not a regular way of contraception and is not worth recommending.

　　3. Natural contraception is very safe

　　“"Calculating the safe period" and "external sperm ejaculation" are often called natural contraceptive methods. They sound good, but in fact the effects they can achieve are not flattering. You must know that a woman’s ovulation date is affected by many factors and is not as accurate as a clock, while men often ejaculation Already before the action begins sperm Entering the woman's vagina, this greatly increases the chance of pregnancy.

　　4. Intrauterine devices can harm the uterus

　　The intrauterine contraceptive device is a long-acting contraceptive method. It is placed in the uterine cavity of women who have given birth and have normal menstrual cycles. It is attached to the endometrium to hinder the transportation of fertilized eggs to achieve the purpose of contraception. Because it is often in an active state, so as long as it is properly placed and checked regularly, it will not harm the body. Some active intrauterine contraceptive devices even have a certain protective effect on the endometrium.

　　5. Oral contraceptives will increase cancer chance of disease

　　Oral contraceptives not only have a contraceptive effect, but can also bring unexpected benefits when used properly. As long as they are not at high risk of estrogen-dependent tumors, they themselves have no breast cancer , family history of cervical cancer, oral contraceptives will not increase the incidence of these tumors, but contraceptives have a certain inhibitory effect on endometrial cancer and ovarian cancer, and can reduce the incidence of pelvic inflammatory disease.
