Patient's question:
Now at night, I always want to have sex with my husband, but I'm afraid of getting pregnant.Doctor's answer:
1, Safe Period Method: Contraceptive success rate is 70%-80%.：Avoiding fertile period sexual activity based on ovulation patterns.
：For women with regular menstrual cycles, ovulation typically occurs about 14-16 days before the next expected period. The days immediately before and after this date are considered unsafe, while other days are considered safe.
：During ovulation, some may experience mild abdominal pain, bloating, clear, stretchy cervical mucus, or slight bleeding, along with increased libido. However, other factors can cause similar symptoms. Long-term use of this method is not very safe.
2, External Contraceptive Cream/Membrane: Contraceptive success rate is 70%-80%.
：Soluble membranes containing spermicidal drugs reduce sperm mobility.
：Before sexual activity, roll the membrane into a ball and place it into the vagina. It becomes effective once dissolved.
：Some mistakenly ingest the membrane, while others insert the separator paper between the membranes, both of which are ineffective. Additionally, since placement varies among individuals, the contraceptive effect may be poor.
3, Male Condom: Contraceptive success rate is 80%-98%.
：Prevent sperm from meeting with eggs.
：Worn over the male reproductive organ before sexual intercourse.
：This is the most common method among young people. Its major advantage is that it does not interfere with the woman's physiology and also prevents sexually transmitted diseases. The biggest obstacle to consistent use is that even with improvements in material quality, some find the thin film hinders their best sexual experience.
4, Liquid Condom: Contraceptive success rate is over 96%.
：This product uses chemical sterilization and a physical barrier to kill multiple sexually transmitted pathogens and sperm within 1 minute, thus achieving contraception.
：Use the special applicator. 3 minutes before sleep or sexual activity, inject 4.2 ml of gel into the vagina in one go. The effect lasts for 8 hours.
：This product has been tested by the National Family Planning Commission Science and Technology Research Institute, with 100% sperm killing within 1 minute. Pregnant women who wish to conceive should not use it. Operate strictly according to the instructions!
5, Intrauterine Device (IUD): Contraceptive success rate is over 95%.
：Prevent fertilized eggs from implanting in the uterus.
：Inserted into the uterus by a doctor.
：Insertion and removal of the IUD require certain procedures. After insertion, some may experience increased menstrual flow, menstrual cramps, uterine perforation, or induced inflammation. It is commonly used for postpartum women. Newly married women planning to avoid pregnancy for 1-2 years may use the "Mirena" IUD.
：Before inserting an IUD, undergo a hospital examination. Women with gynecological inflammation, irregular or excessive menstruation, or genital tumors should not use an IUD.
