Birth Control Methods
Birth control methods are techniques used to prevent pregnancy during sexual intercourse. They include hormonal options like pills, patches, and injections that regulate or stop ovulation; barrier methods such as condoms and diaphragms that block sperm; intrauterine devices (IUDs) that are inserted into the uterus; and natural methods that track fertility cycles. Permanent options include sterilization procedures. Each method varies in effectiveness, side effects, and suitability, so individuals should consider personal health and consult healthcare providers to choose the best option for their needs.
