Takeaways

• 😀 Hormonal contraceptives work by using synthetic hormones (estrogen and progesterone) to prevent pregnancy by inhibiting ovulation or thickening cervical mucus.
• 😀 Birth control pills are available in two types: one containing only progesterone (suitable for breastfeeding mothers) and another containing a combination of progesterone and estrogen.
• 😀 Emergency contraceptive pills (morning-after pills) are for immediate use after unprotected sex, with effectiveness depending on how soon they are taken.
• 😀 Injectable contraceptives, such as the 1-month or 3-month shots, offer convenience and longer protection without daily attention, though they may cause side effects like headaches or breast pain.
• 😀 Implants, or 'birth control rods,' release progesterone slowly and can last up to 3 years, making them a cost-effective, long-term method.
• 😀 Non-hormonal contraceptives include male and female condoms, which prevent sperm from reaching the egg and also help prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
• 😀 Male condoms have an effectiveness rate of 98%, while female condoms have a 95% success rate when used correctly.
• 😀 The intrauterine device (IUD) is a non-hormonal, long-lasting option, with the copper IUD lasting up to 10 years, though installation costs can be high.
• 😀 Permanent contraceptives like sterilization are the most effective method for those who are sure they do not want children, involving tubal ligation for women and vasectomy for men.
• 😀 Choosing the right contraceptive method depends on individual needs, preferences, and comfort, so it’s important to consult a doctor for personalized guidance.

Why is sterilization considered a permanent contraception method?

Sterilization methods, such as tubal ligation for women and vasectomy for men, are considered permanent because they involve surgical procedures that block or cut off the pathways for eggs or sperm, making pregnancy impossible.
