Introduction to birth control and options
If a woman is sexually active and she is fertile - "Will I get pregnant now," she needs to ask themselves if their answer is "No", they need a method of birth control (contraception - to physically become pregnant in a position to ).
If a woman does not want to get pregnant at this point in her life, she has to plan a pregnancy in the future? Soon? Much later? Never? can determine your answers to these questions, the method of birth control that they use and their male sexual partners - now and in the future.
There are a number of different ways to describe birth control. Terms include contraception, pregnancy prevention, fertility control and family planning. But no matter what the process is called, sexually active people can choose from a variety of methods to reduce the possibility of pregnancy. Yet it offers no method of contraception available today, perfect protection against sexually transmitted infections in women, and sexually transmitted infections in men (sexually transmitted diseases or STDs), except abstinence.
It is estimated that over three million unwanted pregnancies per year in the United States. Half of these unplanned pregnancies happen because a few do not use contraception at all, and the other half occur because the couple used birth control, but not correctly.
In simple terms, all methods of contraception to both prevention of a man can achieve, and sperm into a female egg (fertilization) or preventing the fertilized egg from implanting in the woman's uterus (her womb) and is based begins to grow.
Contraception may be reversible or permanent. Reversible birth control means that the process in substantially any time and without long-term effects on fertility (the ability to get pregnant, be) can be stopped. Permanent birth control usually means that the method can not be undone, or vice versa, probably because it involved the operation.Examples of permanent methods include vasectomy for the man or tubal ligation for women.
Prevention methods can also inquire whether they are a barrier method classified (such as a condom), which blocks sperm, a mechanical process (such as a intrauterine device [IUD]) or a hormonal method (such as the Pill ).
"Natural" methods do not rely on devices or hormones, but on observing some aspects of a woman's body physiology to prevent fertilization.
The direct responsibility for most methods of birth control that are currently available rests with the woman. The input of a health care practitioner sometimes essential in the selection of appropriate birth control. New methods of birth control are developed and tested all the time. And what is appropriate, may for a couple at one point change with time and circumstances.
Unfortunately, no method of contraception except abstinence, to be 100% effective.
Summary and Conclusions Many methods of birth control and contraception are available today. There are many options. Unfortunately, most of these decisions offer little or no protection against sexually transmitted infections (sexually transmitted diseases, STDs), particularly against HIV, the human immunodeficiency virus, acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) caused.
For some people, economic considerations dictate the choice of contraceptive method.Abstinence is 100% effective and costs nothing, but can not always be a popular choice. "Natural" methods costs essentially nothing (if you do not use test kits or electronic monitors), but they require considerable discipline to be effective. Barrier methods, spermicides and condoms are affordable for most people and can be effective when used consistently and correctly. The hormonal methods like the pill "are highly effective but their costs add up if they have to be acquired over a longer period of time.
The choice of a particular method of contraception is also a person's age, health and personal situation. For example, behavioral methods (fertility awareness or withdrawal), spirals, and tubal ligation is not recommended prevention methods for young people.Surgical sterilization (vasectomy or tubal ligation) is not appropriate for a man or a woman who have children in the future, because surgical reversal is not guaranteed to be desired. Certain diseases can be contraindicated for a woman with a hormone-based method of contraception.
