A Rundown of The Top Contraceptives For Women Today
There are plenty of birth control options available. Some are more convenient than others. The birth control option
that you choose should be one that fits into your lifestyle. Do not get birth control pills if you never can
remember to take medication. If you are not comfortable inserting and removing a diaphragm before and after sex, do
not choose this form of birth control.
One of the most popular birth control options are birth control pills. You must see a doctor to get a prescription.
There are two types of birth control pills. These combined versions of birth control pills are made up of estrogen
and progestin. You must take a pill everyday and they work to stop the ovar4sfrom releasing an egg. When you are
menstruating you take a week’s worth of placebo pills.
Minipills are birth control pills that only have progestin in them. Minipills make the cervical mucus thicker so
that sperm cannot pass through it. These pills are taken everyday and are thought to be a little less effective
than the combines ones.
Birth control pills are very popular. There are various hormone levels available. Some birth control pills boast
other benefits besides preventing pregnancy. There are birth control pills on the market that reduce the length of
the menstrual cycle and relive cramps. These perks make certain birth control pills more attractive than
others.
Depo Provera is injected underneath the skin. It is a form of progestin and it is injected into a woman’s hip every
three months. This is a much newer method of birth control than the birth control pill. However, it has been
reported to have undesirable side effects such as weight gain.
Norplant is birth control that is inserted underneath the skin where it releases progestin. Norplant looks like
small rubber matchsticks and there are two types. There is a six rod Norplant that will provide birth control for
up to five years and a two rod Norplant that will provide birth control or up to two years. This is an ideal method
of birth control for those who are not interested in getting pregnant within a certain period of time.
Natural family planning is a risky form of birth control. It is formerly known as the rhythm method. This form of
birth control works well for married couples who are not planning to get pregnant but will not be upset if they do.
This is not a sound birth control measure for those who are not in a serious relationship and would mind the
addition of child if they did get pregnant.
The female condom has been available for many years now. However, the female condom has not received that much
attention in the world of contraception. The female condom operates underneath the same premise as the male condom.
It is a barrier form of contraception made out of latex rubber. It is inserted before sex and covers the genital
area both externally and internally.
IUD”s (Intrauterine Devices) are placed into the uterus by a doctor. The Paragard Copper T 380A is the IUD that
releases copper and the Progestasert Progesterone releases progesterone into the body. The Paragard can remain in
place for an entire decade but Progestasert needs to be replaced annually by a doctor.
Female sterilization is a very drastic birth control measure. Women that have had several children and are positive
they do not want more are good candidates for this surgery. Young women who do not have children should seek other
birth control options.
Whatever birth control options you choose it is important to be aware that birth control does not provide
protection from diseases. It is also important to remember that birth control options can have repercussions on
your health.
