What are the contraceptive methods suitable for women?
1. Intrauterine device
The commercially available IUDs contain copper, which can interfere with the combination of sperm and eggs, prevent zygote from implanting in the uterus, and achieve contraceptive effect. The types of contraceptive rings are divided into circular and T-shaped. The contraceptive effect is good, does not affect the quality of sexual life, and is a long-term contraceptive method. If women want to conceive, they can directly remove the intrauterine device. Most women experience lower back pain and small abdominal pain when they first receive an intrauterine device, exacerbating dysmenorrhea and significantly increasing menstrual flow. This contraceptive method is suitable for women who have no family planning for a long time, are obese, smoke, and have a fixed partner alone.
2. Subcutaneous implant
Embedding a subcutaneous implant into the inner skin of the upper arm can sustainably release pregnancy hormones, inhibit ovulation, prevent sperm penetration, and achieve contraceptive effects. The contraceptive effect is long, reversible, and does not affect fertility after cessation. This contraceptive method is simple and convenient, which can reduce daily medication intake and avoid uterine and uterine irritation, but can cause irregular bleeding, weight gain, headaches and emotional changes, as well as acne on the face. Suitable for women over 40 years old and those who smoke and reject other contraceptive methods.
3. Short acting compound oral contraceptive pills
The main components of short-term compound oral contraceptives are estrogen and pregnancy hormones, which can inhibit ovulation and achieve contraceptive effects. The contraceptive effect is good and does not affect the quality of sexual life. After abortion surgery, using oral contraceptives can reduce bleeding, avoid uterine adhesions, prevent infections, improve anemia after miscarriage, help regulate the menstrual cycle, reduce dysmenorrhea and menstrual volume, and assist in treating acne. However, they should be taken on time every day, and should not be misused for women with diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, obesity and heavy smoking. Some women may experience irregular uterine bleeding, excessive emotional changes, nausea, etc. after taking oral contraceptives. This contraceptive method is suitable for women with irregular menstruation, high menstrual volume, anemia, acne, and dysmenorrhea.
