Birth Control Measures

Birth control measures, also known as contraception, are methods used to prevent pregnancy. They include hormonal options like pills, patches, and injections that regulate ovulation, as well as barrier methods like condoms and diaphragms that physically block sperm from reaching an egg. Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are inserted into the uterus to prevent fertilization. Natural methods rely on tracking the menstrual cycle, while sterilization is a permanent option. Each method has different effectiveness, side effects, and suitability based on individual health and lifestyle. Choosing the right option involves understanding personal needs and consulting healthcare professionals.
