The Most Popular Contraception Options

1. Condom. The most popular method. The effectiveness of condoms in preventing pregnancy is up to 99%. Another undeniable advantage of this method is the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases. 2. Female condom. This is a thin, soft, loose-fitting sheath with a flexible ring at each end. One side is closed. The inner ring at the closed end is used for ease of insertion into the vagina and to hold the condom in place during intercourse. The outer ring on the other side remains outside the vagina and covers part of the external genitalia. Its effectiveness is lower than that of the male condom, but it also provides excellent protection against venereal infections and pregnancy.

It is an ideal method of protecting against pregnancy, but it cannot guarantee protection against sexually transmitted infections. 4. Oral contraceptives. They should always be selected and taken under the careful guidance of a doctor. These are pills that need to be taken daily for three weeks with a one-week break, or continuously. Oral contraceptives protect against pregnancy in 95-97% of cases.
