Can menopausal sex be used for contraception? The Seven Most Harmful Contraceptive Methods for Women's Bodies
In recent years, the characteristics of abortion have also quietly changed: the younger generation is becoming more open to sex, more and more teenagers are starting to steal forbidden fruits, and unmarried abortion has also sharply increased.
Among abortion women, 65% are unmarried. Data shows that unmarried individuals have stolen forbidden fruits, 61.3% have a history of abortion, and 93.9% have not taken contraceptive measures. In developed coastal cities, unmarried women have had an average of 3.4 abortions per person. These situations are not related to many misunderstandings about oral contraceptives in China. When it comes to oral contraceptives, everyone has many concerns, so they would rather take risks than take them, leading to contraceptive failure and suffering for themselves.
7 Unadvisable Contraceptive Methods
1. Safe period contraception
The so-called safe period refers to the seven days before and the first eight days after menstruation for women. People also call it 'first seven and then eight'. This period is not the ovulation period for women. At this time, cohabitation usually does not cause women to conceive, so people call it the safe period. But the safety period is not absolute safety. Because some women ovulate irregularly. Even if some women ovulate regularly, their emotions, living environment, and physical condition undergo significant changes, and ovulation will lose its original pattern. Therefore, contraception during the safe period for women is not safe.
2. Breastfeeding contraception
Non lactating mothers usually resume ovulation and menstruation after 4-6 weeks of delivery. Most lactating mothers do not menstruate. Some people believe that lactating mothers do not menstruate, do not ovulate, and will not conceive. Actually, this understanding is wrong. Even if lactating mothers do not have menstruation, they may still resume ovulation. If contraception is not used during this period, women are likely to harbor it secretly. So, lactating mothers should also use contraception.
3. Coitus interruptus
When men ejaculate outside coitus interruptus in the same room, some people also think that women will not be pregnant. This understanding is biased. First of all, before coitus interruptus, a small amount of semen flows into the vagina with prostatic fluid. Secondly, when men perform coitus interruptus, if the action is too slow, some semen will enter the vagina of women. This can lead to women becoming pregnant. Long term use of this method of contraception can easily lead to diseases such as neurasthenia and decreased libido.
4. Vaginal cleaning and contraception
After sexual intercourse, women believe that vaginal cleaning can be used for contraception. This method is actually very unsafe. During sexual intercourse, if the man ejaculates, countless sperm will quickly swim into the woman's uterine cavity. At this point, no matter how the woman performs vaginal flushing, they cannot flush all the sperm out of the body. Therefore, using vaginal flushing method for contraception, the woman can still conceive.
5. Urinary contraception
Some people believe that after sexual intercourse, having the woman flush the vagina with urine can be used for contraception. This is a confused understanding. The vagina and urethra in women are two different organs. After sexual intercourse, women cannot use urination to flush sperm from another channel out of the body.
6. Menopausal contraception
Some menopausal women believe that they are too old to conceive again, so they can avoid pregnancy during menopause. The fact is not entirely true. Although women in menopause experience menstrual disorders, they still experience irregular ovulation. So if women in menopause do not use contraception, there is still a possibility of pregnancy.
7. Artificial abortion method for contraception
Some couples believe that contraception is not necessary during sexual intercourse. If a woman becomes pregnant, undergoing an artificial abortion can also achieve the goal of contraception. This understanding is not only wrong, but also harmful, and it is also a manifestation of irresponsibility towards women. Artificial abortion is only a remedial measure after contraceptive failure, not a contraceptive method. Multiple induced abortions in women can cause complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease and endometriosis, seriously damaging health.
