Contraception: a topic not to be avoided

Whenever I am out there and see painless abortion commercials flying all over the place, I feel so helpless. I know it is a commercial advertisement by some hospitals. Contraception, which is so important, is not promoted as much as painless abortion because there is no commercial interest in it. Contraception should be a basic knowledge that everyone should learn from the very beginning of their sexual life. Contraceptive education, which should be taught to teenagers, has not been included in children’s education, probably because of the Chinese tradition of being ashamed of contraception. The pain of an unwanted pregnancy can affect a child’s health for the rest of his or her life. First of all, let’s talk about the methods of contraception. 1. safe period contraception: this method should not be said to be a simple method of contraception, because the time of ovulation varies from person to person, and the sperm can survive in the body for several days, making the safe period contraception is a very unsafe method, if not particularly sure, rather not choose the safe period contraceptive method. 2. barrier contraception: including the barrier contraceptive method, including the barrier contraceptive method, which is not listed in the children’s education. 2. Barrier contraceptive method: including condom, diaphragm, cervical cap, also known as instrumental contraception, through the isolation of sperm and egg combination to play a role in contraception. Condom should be the most commonly used and the safest method, and it can also prevent infectious diseases, and is suitable for any age from adolescence to perimenopause. The condom method is suitable when other methods are not. 3. Oral contraceptive pills: divided into emergency contraceptive pills and short-acting contraceptive pills. Emergency contraceptive pills cannot be used as regular contraceptive measures because of their high hormone content, which may lead to menstrual disorders after taking them, and therefore they are only used as an afterthought or on a temporary basis. Short-acting contraceptive pills can be bought in pharmacies, generally from the first day of menstruation to take an oral pill every day, the efficiency of oral contraceptive pills is close to 100%, the principle of contraception is to inhibit ovulation through estrogen and progesterone. In addition to its contraceptive effect, it can actually be used in the treatment of acne, irregular menstruation, endometriosis, etc. The safety profile is still very reliable. Side effects are mainly weight gain (the new generation of oral contraceptives Yosmin has no effect in this regard), increased incidence of venous thrombosis of the lower extremities. Oral contraceptives need to be used with caution in patients with hormone-dependent diseases, such as uterine fibroids or breast-related diseases. Oral contraceptives can be used for a long or short period of time, and can actually be applied for a long period of time if there are diseases such as endometriosis. In addition, those who are over 40 years of age should avoid using oral contraceptives for a long period of time. If you forget to take oral contraceptive pills for one day, you should make up for it on the 2nd day. If you miss to take it for more than 2 days, you should combine it with other contraceptive methods to reduce the failure rate. 4. Long-acting contraceptive injection: the contraceptive mechanism is to inhibit ovulation. It needs to be injected every 2 to 3 months. The disadvantage is that it takes some time for normal fertility to recover after stopping the contraceptive injection, usually 6 to 24 months after the last injection; it may be accompanied by irregular bleeding, prolonged menstruation, increased menstruation and other side effects, and some women may have weight gain. 5. Intrauterine device (IUD): The IUD used in the past is usually in the shape of a circle, so it is also known as the contraceptive ring, or IUD in English, and its material usually contains copper, and the principle of contraception is to affect the implantation of the fertilized egg through the reaction of the copper locally, and in recent years, there is a new type of contraceptive ring containing hormones (Mannuelle) on the market, which has a role to play in the treatment of endometriosis and menstrual cramps, besides the role of contraception. The IUD is actually a method that can be used for long-term contraception and can usually be left in place for 5-10 years, with the previous metal rings lasting even longer. If you are not planning to have children in the short term or if you need to use contraception after having children, IUD is a good reversible method of contraception, which can avoid the side effects of taking pills for a long period of time and reduce the inconvenience of using condoms. In the past, IUDs were either round or T-shaped. If the size of the IUD is not suitable, or due to differences in the size and shape of the uterus, individuals may experience lower back pain after IUD placement, and heavy menstrual periods at the beginning of the period are a common symptom, but if the symptoms persist for a long period of time, it is possible to consider removing the IUD. Currently, there are IUDs (Gini rings) that are shaped like a strip, and the discomfort has decreased dramatically. Some of the misinformation about IUDs on the internet over the past period of time has caused a lot of people to be scared of them. Putting aside the aberrant IUD policy caused by Planned Parenthood, the IUD is still a good measure that can be used for long term contraception. The newer hormonal contraceptive rings contain slow-releasing progesterone, which may lead to a decrease in menstrual flow or even the complete disappearance of menstruation, and may also relieve menstrual cramps, if you don’t mind a decrease in menstrual flow, it is also a method that can be considered, and please consult your doctor for the specific physical condition to see if it’s appropriate. another use of the IUD can be used for contraception after the event, within 5 days of sexual intercourse. Emergency placement of an IUD acts as a contraceptive. Ginii Ring Mannitol 6. Subcutaneous implantation: It involves implanting a rod that releases medication under the skin of the arm by making a small incision, which can last for 3 years. In terms of contraceptive effectiveness, subcutaneous implantation is the method with the highest success rate in contraception. However, it has the side effect of causing menstrual disorders. 7. Spermicide: It can be used locally in the vagina with gel, foam and suppository. It is not convenient to use and the user is not oh. The choice of contraceptive methods, specifically, is based on age, disease conditions, and whether there is a recent request for childbirth to consider comprehensively. If you plan to have children in the short term after marriage, you can choose barrier contraceptive methods such as condoms or oral contraceptive pills, while those who do not plan to have children in the short term can consider using IUD. if you are breastfeeding after childbirth, oral contraceptive pills are not applicable, you can use tools or IUD. if you are planning for the long term after the completion of childbearing, you can consider IUD, subcutaneous implantation, or long-acting contraceptive injection. If there is a combination of endometriosis, myometriosis, or dysmenorrhea, Mannitol or oral contraceptives are also an option. There are no reversible methods of contraception available for men. For sterilization, there are vasectomy for males and tubal ligation or blockage for females. However, these sterilization methods may not guarantee 100% success as they require another surgery to accomplish the function of reproduction once there is a request for another child.
