Hormonal contraceptive pills (The "Pill")

Hormonal contraceptive pill (for which in English literature, even stuck the name «The pill») appeared in the 1960's, and the first to give them their due generation bebibuma (which may belong to and your parents). They first got legal access to oral contraceptives. The principle of operation is based on changing levels of progesterone and estrogen and the prevention of ovulation. If you do not ovulate (ie transcending the female egg from exploding Graafova bubble and penetration into the uterus through the fallopian tube), a woman can not become pregnant. The pill also reduces menstrual pain and cramps and eliminate the manifestations of APC.

IUD

Intrauterine device - the T-shaped flexible device is introduced into the uterine cavity and ensures long contraceptive effect. IUD prevents the egg and sperm connection, slows the movement of the egg in the uterine cavity and affect the ability of sperm to pass through the uterine cavity. Navy left in the uterus for a period of 5 to 12 years.

Condoms and contraceptive sponges

Everyone knows what a condom, as well known pathological dislike of men to this method of contraception. According to men, a condom reduces sensation. Nonetheless, condoms - in contrast to the hormone pills, IUDs and other contraceptive methods - not only prevent pregnancy but also AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases. Contraceptive sponge pads are kind of round shape, with the deepening of the side adjacent to the cervix, and polyester loop for extracting sponges - on the opposite side. Contraceptive sponge holds sperm, preventing it from falling into the canal of the cervix, and also provides spermicidal substance. Sponges can be bought at a pharmacy without a prescription.

Injectable contraceptives and kontratseptivnyplastyr

The most popular of this type of contraceptive - Depo-Provera. He introduced every 12 weeks. Effects of Depo-Provera is based on the prevention of ovulation. This tool is suitable for women who forget to take a pill every day, but Depo-Provera is not recommended to use more than 2 years. The contraceptive patch (eg, Ortho Evra) just stick to the skin (on the buttocks, abdomen or arm at the shoulder), change once a week for three weeks, and then do one week break. This is a contraceptive and prevents ovulation. If the patch (invisible to you) come off, or it expires, a woman can get pregnant.

Male contraception

In fact, one can not blame the man in that he refuses to make vasectomy - surgical procedure for excision of the vas deferens. In fact, male fertility control is more complicated than the female. Women are fertile only a few days a month, and the body of a healthy mature male produces sperm 24 hours a day, about a half billion sperm per day! In 2001 in Europe, began a study on the establishment of hormone pills for men, significantly reduces the production of sperm. The results of this large-scale work to appear today or tomorrow ... keep fists!

Abstemious

Extreme contraception - abstinence, which means NO SEX. Previously, the conservative political climate and the strict religious views forced many women to choose precisely this (the most reliable!) Tool - but only until marriage. If you are considering this option, make sure that you are able to resist peer pressure and know how to satisfy natural sexual needs.

Knowledge - force!

If you have a younger brother or sister, do not hesitate to tell them everything you know about contraception, or may be too late. Agree, it is easier to discuss such a delicate subject with a brother or sister, than their parents.

P.S. It is important to remember that contraception except condoms only protect against pregnancy, and does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS.
