Deciding on the type of contraceptive and method of use is the individual decision of each user. Healthcare workers can instruct and advise users which methods are appropriate and best for each individual for safe and effective contraception.

Although most methods of contraception are highly effective when used properly, none of them can fully protect the user. Users should seek advice from health workers and discuss with them is very important to make the best decision.

There are several methods of natural contraception that do not require the use of equipment or drugs, but these methods are less reliable than others.

Abstinence from relationships

Relationship abstinence is a method of contraception that can be defined in various ways. Without any sexual intercourse including vaginal, or oral sex, it is called continuous abstinence and is the only 100% effective way to avoid pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. Abstinence from relationships is both safe and effective and has many benefits, no side effects and no free. However, abstinence is difficult to maintain so it is in fact harder to implement than other measures.

Breastfeeding

The ability to conceive when a mother has a baby breastfeeding. Breastfeeding is not considered a method of contraception when the baby has been over 6 months of age due to the lower likelihood of pregnancy before the baby 6 months when the mother feeds the baby completely with breast milk. Breastfeeding completely in the first 6 months is to breastfeed only without feeding, drinking any other food and drink including ripe water, except for cases where vitamins, minerals or medicines prescribed by the physician must be taken.

Less than 1 percent of women experience an unexpected pregnancy with DCTC.

Mirena can remain in place for 5 years, Skyla for 3 years and Paragard for 10-12 years. Although generally safe, however, contraceptives are not the choice of all women. Because this is an external device introduced into the vagina that increases the incidence of infection; therefore, this method is recommended for women who are in a married relationship.

9. Emergency contraception

In fact, some situations where women have sex but are not protected, do not prepare preventive measures or use contraceptives but fail such as tearing condoms, forgetting to take birth control pills, injecting contraceptives late, even being raped … the risk of pregnancy is inevitable. In these cases it is possible to use emergency contraceptives for processing.

Emergency contraception is carried out on a case-by-case application. If taking the emergency contraceptive pill contains only progestin: for type 1 tablets with a content of 1.5mg levonorgestrel or 3mg norgestrel take a single dose; for 2 capsules with a content of 0.75mg of levonorgestrel each, take it twice, one at a time 12 hours apart or once both. If taking the contraceptive pill in combination when there is no emergency contraceptive pill: take 2 times 12 hours apart; each time 4 tablets (each containing 30mcg of ethinyl estradiol and 0.15mg or 0.125mg lenovorgestrel) guarantee at least 0.1mg of ethinyl estradiol and 0.5mg of levonorgestrel (or 1mg norgestrel or 2mg of noresthisteron each time). If using a copper-containing uterus instrument, appropriate options must be made for women who wish to continue using contraceptive uterus instruments.

10. Barrier methods

The barrier method resembles a diaphragm, which is the easiest option for regular protection. Some of the barrier methods include diaphragm, cervical cap, male condom, and female condom and spermicidal foam, contraceptive cushioning, film. Unlike other methods of birth control, barrier methods are used only when you have sex. Be sure to read the instructions before using it.
