Birth Control Options Everyone Should Know
Summary
While abstaining from sexual contact is the most effective way to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), there are numerous FDA-approved birth control options available. Choosing the right method depends on individual needs and circumstances.
Why Consider Birth Control?
Many women opt for birth control for various reasons, such as health concerns, financial stability, emotional readiness, family considerations, and career plans. Additionally, some methods offer protection against STDs.
Choosing the Right Method
Your choice of birth control should reflect your health, sexual activity frequency, number of partners, and future family plans. What works for one person might not work for another.
