September 26th is World Contraception Day every year. World Contraception Day is an international commemoration day aimed at raising awareness of contraception among young people, promoting their responsibility for their sexual and reproductive health, increasing safe contraception rates, improving reproductive health education, and promoting their reproductive and sexual health. Some people in real life believe that occasional sexual activity does not lead to pregnancy, which is a very wrong view, as every sexual activity carries the risk of pregnancy.
According to data released by the Science and Technology Research Institute of the National Population and Family Planning Commission, China has an annual number of induced abortions of up to 13 million, ranking first in the world. Among them, more than half are women under the age of 25, excluding 10 million drug-induced abortions and the number of abortions done in unregistered private clinics. In some large and medium-sized cities, the recurrent abortion rate reaches 55.9%. The reason for the huge number of induced abortions in China is not only related to the importance of contraception, but also to incorrect contraceptive concepts and methods. Below, let's take a look at common misconceptions about contraception.
Counting 5 common misconceptions about contraception
Believes that contraception is safe in the "Calendar-based contraceptive methods"
As for the familiar and unfamiliar term of Calendar-based contraceptive methods, many girls know how to use it for contraception. Tang Wei, director of obstetrics at Nansha Hospital of Guangzhou First People's Hospital, noticed that contraception during the Calendar-based contraceptive methods was not safe at all. The Calendar-based contraceptive methods is relatively easy to get pregnant. Women ovulate only for a moment, but the eggs can survive for 1 to 2 days after ovulation. The fertilization ability of sperm is within 24 hours after ovulation, and the sperm loses the ability to combine with the eggs after more than 2 to 3 days. Therefore, there is a possibility of pregnancy during sexual intercourse 2-3 days before ovulation and 1-2 days after ovulation, which is referred to as the easy pregnancy and dangerous period. Relatively speaking, it is the so-called Calendar-based contraceptive methods in the world.
The Calendar-based contraceptive methods contraception is only applicable to women with very regular physiological periods. Many women also know that their physiological cycle is convulsive, and they really have no rules. The ovulation date of women is related to their emotions and environment, and can also change accordingly. For example, lovers and couples separated from each other have been separated for a long time, and women's pituitary hypothalamus ovary axis changes during emergencies, ovulation and other phenomena occur, and the possibility of accidental pregnancy in the Calendar-based contraceptive methods is high. In real life, many women choose a simpler and more reliable method of contraception. I think this is once and for all. According to experts, the placement of intrauterine device (IUD) is simple, safe, has minimal adverse reactions, and does not affect the quality of sexual life. It is highly popular among married women, especially those during childbirth, and has become an important contraceptive measure for women today. The success rate of contraception is 85%~90%, but it can 100% avoid pregnancy.
