How can you know which option works best for you?
There are many contraceptive methods, each with its own benefits and level of effectiveness. Today we’re going to talk about two main types of contraceptives:barrier methods and hormonal methods.
Barrier contraceptives work by physically blocking sperm from reaching the uterus. These include condoms, diaphragms, cervical caps, contraceptive sponges, gels, and spermicides.
They must be used every time you have sex, and their effectiveness depends on correct use. Condoms also help protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
Hormonal contraceptives, such as birth control pills, contain estrogen and progestin or progestin alone. They prevent pregnancy by stopping ovulation, thickening cervical mucus, and changing the uterine lining. With perfect use, they are highly effective.
However, missing pills especially early in the cycle can significantly increase the risk of
pregnancy.The best method is the one that fits your body, your lifestyle, and your health
needs.
