There are many changes in women's roles throughout their lives, and according to their different needs for contraceptive methods during their life stages, they must choose the most suitable contraceptive method according to their own situation. These are essential basic knowledge for women throughout their lives
1、 Pre partum women:
Before giving birth, contraception methods that have little impact on future fertility and are difficult to infect should be chosen. Before the first birth, it is usually divided into
1. The first sexual life period (generally refers to the new marriage period): the female reproductive tract is tight, and both parties lack sexual life experience, so they should choose short-term oral contraceptives, male condoms, etc. If you have sex without preparation, you can take emergency contraceptives, short-term oral contraceptives and male condoms.
2. After having sexual intercourse (about 2-3 months of marriage). After a period of sexual life, if the female reproductive tract expands, you can also choose female condoms, external Spermicide, Contraceptive vaginal ring and other methods combined with barrier contraception during the safe period, such as using condoms during the dangerous period, and using external Spermicide during the safe period.
Generally, Intrauterine device should not be selected before the first birth, but under special circumstances, it should be selected under the guidance of a doctor. Long term oral contraceptives and long-term contraceptive injections should generally not be chosen before first birth. Because these long-term contraceptives take a long time to resume fertility after discontinuation.
2、 Postpartum lactating women:
Contraceptive methods that do not affect lactation, breastfeeding, and infant growth should be chosen.
(1) The Intrauterine device can be placed immediately after delivery or 42 days after delivery
(2) Simple pregnancy hormone contraception methods, such as subcutaneous implants and simple pregnancy hormone long-term contraceptive needles. Many data show that simple Progestogen contraception has no obvious effect on milk secretion and the growth and development of the baby.
(3) Breastfeeding amenorrhea contraception or Billings natural contraception.
(4) Condoms and soluble external Spermicide, such as freezing agent, gel agent, etc. Compound oral contraceptives should not be used during postpartum lactation, as estrogen may affect milk secretion. It is also not suitable to use insoluble external Spermicide during lactation, such as external contraceptive tablets, film, etc., because the lactating mother has less Vaginal discharge and is not easy to dissolve.
3、 Women after childbirth:
Many women have a contraceptive period of about 20 years after delivery. They should choose a longer, stable and reversible contraceptive method (if necessary, they can resume delivery at any time), such as Intrauterine device, subcutaneous implants, long-term contraceptives, etc. According to each person's situation, you can also choose short acting contraceptives, various barrier contraceptives, external Spermicide, natural contraceptives, infertility, etc.
