Contraception Methods

Contraception methods are techniques used to prevent pregnancy during sexual intercourse. They vary widely and include barrier methods like condoms, which physically block sperm; hormonal options, such as birth control pills that regulate hormones to prevent ovulation; intrauterine devices (IUDs) that are placed in the uterus to inhibit fertilization; and natural methods involving tracking fertility cycles. Permanent solutions like sterilization are also available. Each method has different effectiveness rates, side effects, and suitability, so it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional to choose the right option for individual needs and circumstances.
