Contraceptive Injection

A contraceptive injection is a form of birth control that involves receiving an injection of hormones, usually every three months. It primarily works by preventing ovulation, meaning that the ovaries do not release eggs. Additionally, it thickens cervical mucus to block sperm from reaching any eggs that might be released. The injection is a convenient option for those who prefer not to take daily pills and is effective in preventing pregnancy when administered on schedule. However, it does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs), so additional protection may be necessary in those cases.
