Contraceptive misconceptions: It is important to learn to choose contraceptive methods based on physical conditions

One of the most tragic things in this world is when a couple wants to get pregnant but cannot conceive, while the opposite is when they want to use contraception but accidentally conceive a child. Good contraception is a compulsory course for couples who are not yet ready to have a baby. However, why are more and more couples experiencing unexpected pregnancies and abortions? Ultimately, many couples have misconceptions about contraception.

Contraceptive misconceptions should be avoided

1. Safe period contraception is very safe

The truth: 'Calculating the safe period' and 'Extracorporeal ejaculation' are often referred to as natural contraception methods, which may sound good, but the actual results achieved are not commendable. It should be noted that a woman's ovulation date is influenced by many factors and is not as accurate as a clock, while men often have sperm entering the woman's vagina before ejaculation begins. This increases the chance of getting pregnant in a daze. Can this method still be considered safe? I suggest you abandon this method.

2. Occasionally without danger

Truth: Sometimes fate is so unfair. Some people may not necessarily get a baby, while others may bloom when they meet occasionally. Therefore, never hold a lucky mentality. Meeting healthy sperm and eggs at the appropriate time and place means that a new life is about to be born. Abnormal pregnancies can lead to very dangerous ectopic pregnancies and deformed newborns

3. Physiological day is a safe period

The truth: Many people believe that it is unscientific for women not to become pregnant during the physiological cycle. More importantly, during the physiological period, the uterus is in a period of vascular spasm and hematoma formation, and the endometrial tissue is in a state of necrosis and detachment. When too intimate, it is easy to have secondary infections, bleeding, and other situations. Therefore, it is important to take care of and show consideration for women

4. Condoms divide marital relationships

Truth: Condoms today are not the same as before. They not only become comfortable, thin and breathable, but also have a fragrant smell and beautiful color. They can add fun, contraception, maintenance and other functions. They can also block many diseases that are transmitted through sexual intercourse between the sexes, such as AIDS, gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia infection and so on.

5. Intrauterine device damage to the uterus

Truth: Intrauterine devices are long-term contraceptive methods that are placed in the uterine cavity of women with normal reproductive and menstrual cycles, and attach to the endometrium to hinder the transportation of fertilized eggs, achieving the purpose of contraception. Because they are often in an active state, as long as they are properly set up and regularly checked, not only will they not harm the body, but active intrauterine devices also have a protective effect on the endometrium.

Choose contraceptive methods based on physical condition

1. You were originally a mother

It's best not to take birth control pills every day. As a new mother, you must be very busy. If things don't go smoothly, you'll forget to take medication and fail contraception.

Using condoms or using extracorporeal methods, as you and your partner are already mature in sexual activity, you can grasp and control the timing and timing of sexual activity; You can also place an intrauterine device (IUD), which can also promote uterine contractions. However, if it is a cesarean section, it is best to use the first two contraceptive methods, and placing them after six months will provide ample recovery time for the uterus.

2. Breastfed infants

During lactation, the levels of pregnancy hormones in the body are high, which can inhibit ovulation and have certain contraceptive effects. However, during this period, sudden ovulation is prone to occur. Therefore, it is not advisable to use estrogen and pregnancy hormone combination contraceptives, which can inhibit milk secretion and enter the baby's body through milk, affecting the baby's growth and development, and cannot be chosen.

Condoms, cervical caps, placement of intrauterine devices, selection of topical contraceptives that are not absorbed by the body, such as contraceptive film or suppositories.

3. Abnormal menstruation

If there is excessive menstrual flow, do not use an intrauterine contraceptive device. Its stimulation can easily increase menstrual flow. If the menstrual flow is too low, do not take contraceptive pills if it is stopped frequently. The former uses oral contraceptives to reduce menstrual flow, while the latter is best placed with an intrauterine device.

4. You reunited with him after a long separation

Do not use safe period contraception. Because there is a high likelihood of spontaneous ovulation and premature ovulation during excitement. Use condoms, take home visit pills orally, and also take emergency contraceptives.

5. Allergic constitution

External use of contraceptive creams and films can easily cause vaginal mucosal allergies, and increased secretion from cervical caps and intrauterine devices can cause inflammation. If it is a severe allergic condition, even condoms may not be suitable.

When choosing contraceptive methods, there are bound to be many limitations. If menstruation is regular, it is best to use safe period contraception. If you and your husband are already parents, you can also consider both parties undergoing infertility surgery.

6. If you or he has hepatitis B

The one who is sick is you, and you should not take contraceptives that increase the liver burden and worsen the condition, nor should you place intrauterine devices. Poor liver function, reduced prothrombin in the body, impaired coagulation function, susceptibility to bleeding, excessive menstruation with an intrauterine device, or uterine bleeding.

The preferred contraceptive method is a condom, which can prevent hepatitis B from being transmitted through sexual activity. Other contraceptive methods have no effect on preventing infectious diseases.

There are many contraceptive methods available to women in today's society, including condoms, pills, and intrauterine devices. Do you really choose? Attention! Perhaps it was because of your improper choices that hurt your own health
