Risk Free Methods of Contraception

Contraception is the procedure or technique through which women avoids the unwanted pregnancy. Sex is the most occurring natural phenomenon in the world. Thus, it cannot be avoided as both the partners enjoy it, but one of major drawbacks of having unprotected sex is to welcome the unwanted pregnancy. Hence, to keep away from the unwanted pregnancy, you should use contraception. Contraception is generally considered as the part of family planning. You need to use the methods of contraception if you are not ready to have a baby. Contraception is the method through which you reduce the risk of fertilization of an ovum by a spermatozoon. Contraception was followed since long time, the history suggests that Egyptian women were first to adopt the contraception method to avoid the unwanted pregnancy. Egyptian women used pessery that they use to wear during the love making session to avoid the unwanted pregnancy. That use to kill sperms before they reach the womb. Thus, from there the contraception methods started developing. Nowadays, lots of contraception methods have been developed that can be used either by the women or by the men. Men usually are not very keen to use the contraception methods as it is not going to affect them more, whereas women on other hand are very keen to use contraception methods as they don’t want to get pregnant always. The different contraception methods that can be used by the men are as follows: 1. Condoms—A balloon like sachet that should be used by the men to cover their male reproductive organ during the sexual activity. It works as the barrier through which sperms can not enter the female reproductive organ. This means of contraception provides 70% to 80% of the safety from the unwanted pregnancy. But, still this method is not full proof. Condom is best to be used to have a protection against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and AIDS.  2. Physical method by removing the male sex organ from the female reproductive tract before the orgasm. This is very age old method as is considered as very bad method of contraception. No guarantee can be given about this method. Sometimes because of the passion male even forget to take it out and the pregnancy occurs. 3. The another method is sterilization of male sex organ. But, because of this method man becomes impotent for his whole life and is not accepted by man. 4. The new method is the vasa deferentia in which you implant a barrier that don’t allow the sperm to ejaculate. Thus, these methods of contraception are not very safe and may lead to unwanted pregnancy. But, in all the above mentioned methods I would suggest men to use condoms as they also give you the protection from STDs and AIDS. Hence, there came a reason that women should use the methods of contraception as men are not very reluctant in using the means of contraception. Men know that they are not going to face the consequences; it is women who have to go through all the pain. Thus, here I mention the methods for women contraception—1. Sterilization—This is the method that makes the women sterile permanently. In this method the fallopian tubes are tied, cut, clamped, or blocked. But, no women wants to be sterile for her whole life hence, this method is not used by the more women. 2. Copper T—In this method, a copper T is inserted inside the uterus that has a spermicidal effect, hence killing the sperms before reaching to the womb. Thus, Copper T is one of the good methods of contraception but still not 100% safe. 3. Contraceptive pills—Using contraceptive pills is the best method of contraception. You can consider contraceptive pills as 100% safe method of contraception. These contraceptive pills should be taken as one pill daily from the 1st day to the 21st day of the menstrual cycle. Then take the break of 7 days and again continue to take the dosage till the day you are having active sex life and you don’t want to get pregnant. Stop the tablet when you have decided that you want to get the pregnant. Thus, contraceptive pills are considered to be 100% safe and best method of contraception. These contraceptive along with the contraception also provides you the health benefits by maintaining the routine of your menstrual cycle. You will find the reduction in the menstrual pain after you start using contraceptive pills. It has been observed that use of contraceptive pills is most efficient way of contraception.
