How to prevent pregnancy without an IUD? Several common contraceptive methods

Nowadays, many people have started to adopt a series of contraceptive methods, but because there are so many contraceptive methods, and sometimes they even bring a series of effects on the body, they are often worried by some people. So, besides IUDs, what are the contraceptive methods?

1. Safe period contraception method:

The contraceptive success rate is 70%-80%.

Principle: Avoid sexual intercourse during the reproductive period according to the ovulation pattern.

Method: Women with regular menstruation will ovulate approximately 14-16 days before the next estimated menstruation. It is unsafe within 2-3 days before and after this date, and the other days are safe periods. Doctor's advice: During the ovulation period, there will be mild abdominal pain, bloating, transparent and long vaginal discharge, or very small amounts of bleeding, and a stronger sexual desire. However, other factors can also cause similar phenomena. It is very unsafe to use this method for a long time.

2. External contraceptives: including contraceptive creams and films: contraceptive success rate is 70%-80%.

Principle: Soluble film containing spermicidal drugs reduces the activity of sperm.

Method: Before sexual intercourse, roll the film into a ball and put it into the vagina. It will take effect after it dissolves. Doctor's advice: Some people accidentally eat the medicine film every time, and some people put the separator paper between the films into the vagina, neither of which can achieve the contraceptive effect. In addition, the placement of the film is different for each person, so the contraceptive effect is poor.

3. Male condoms: contraceptive success rate 80%-90%.

Principle: Prevent sperm and egg from meeting.

Method: Before sexual intercourse, the man puts it on his genitals. Doctor's advice: It is the most commonly used method among young people. Its biggest advantage is that it does not interfere with women's physiology at all and can prevent sexually transmitted diseases. The biggest obstacle to its continued use is that no matter how the texture of the condom is improved, some people still feel that this film affects their best enjoyment of sex.
