Patient's question:
I am a woman, 35 years old this year. My husband has recently been considering having a child, but I don't want to and I want to use contraception. Please ask: How can I avoid getting pregnant if I don't want to have children?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, you can choose to breastfeed with condoms, take birth control pills, or have an intrauterine device (IUD) inserted. It is recommended that you pay attention to rest, avoid overexertion, maintain a regular lifestyle, ensure sufficient deep sleep, and pay attention to personal hygiene. Change your underwear and pants frequently, and keep the external genital area clean and dry. Enhance your nutrition, have a diversified diet, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins. The female condom is also an option, but some women may experience severe discomfort after having an IUD inserted. For example, it may cause irregular menstrual cycles, heavy bleeding, or other symptoms. Additionally, if you plan to get pregnant next time, you need to remove the IUD six months in advance.
