Understanding Birth Control
This article provides an overview of various contraceptive methods and explains how birth control works to prevent pregnancy. It's crucial to choose the right method, and consulting a healthcare professional is recommended to make an informed decision.
How Does Birth Control Work?
Birth control involves various means?"actions, devices, or medications?"designed to prevent conception. It functions in three primary ways:
1. Inhibition of Ovulation: Prevents the release of an egg from the ovaries.
2. Mucus Alteration: Thickens cervical mucus to hinder sperm mobility.
3. Uterine Lining Modification: Alters the uterine lining to prevent implantation of a fertilized egg.
Types of Birth Control
Natural Methods
1. Abstinence: Completely refraining from any sexual activity.
2. Withdrawal: The male partner withdraws before ejaculation.
3. Sexual Outercourse: Involves non-penetrative activities like oral sex or masturbation.
4. Fertility Awareness: Tracking menstrual cycles to determine safe periods for sex.
Barrier Methods
1. Male Condom: A latex or polyurethane sheath covering the penis to block sperm entry.
2. Female Condom: A pouch inserted into the vagina to collect sperm.
3. Cervical Cap: A latex or silicone cup placed over the cervix.
4. Diaphragm: Similar to the cervical cap, it covers the cervix to prevent sperm entry.
Hormonal Methods
1. Oral Contraceptives: Pills containing synthetic hormones to prevent ovulation.
2. Injectables: Progestin injections effective for three months.
3. Hormonal Patches: Skin patches that release hormones over a week.
4. Birth Control Implants: A small rod inserted under the skin releasing hormones over a year.
Intrauterine Device (IUD)
A T-shaped device inserted into the uterus, causing a localized immune response that affects sperm mobility and viability.
