Patient's question:
I'm 20 years old, but I'm still quite ignorant about sex. What are the methods of contraception? What should I pay attention to when using contraception? Do birth control pills have side effects on the body?Doctor's answer:
??????There are many contraceptive methods available now. Contraceptive tools include: condoms, intrauterine devices (IUDs), etc. There are also contraceptive pills: short-acting birth control pills, emergency contraception pills, etc. Additionally, there are some popular but less reliable methods like the rhythm method and withdrawal. However, condoms and birth control pills are the most commonly used and relatively safer methods.Nevertheless, all contraceptive methods have a failure rate. In cases of unprotected sex or contraceptive failure, it is essential to take emergency contraception pills like Yasmin immediately. As long as they are taken within 72 hours after the event, they can prevent unintended pregnancy. The earlier they are taken, the better the effectiveness.
