An international survey shows that women’s lack of knowledge about contraception limits their choice of contraceptive methods. The survey shows that women who use modern contraceptive methods are more knowledgeable about contraception than those who use traditional methods. The results come from the international Contraceptive Knowledge and Awareness Study, which enrolled 7,000 women aged 16-40 in 14 countries. The aim was to investigate women’s knowledge of contraception, knowledge of contraceptive methods and current use of contraceptive methods worldwide. The survey showed that all the women were well informed about each method of contraception from their doctors. This allows them to choose the most suitable method for them from a wide range of contraceptive methods, whether they are the newest or the traditional ones. The most popular form of contraception is still the oral contraceptive pill. It has been more than 40 years since the world’s first oral contraceptive pill was introduced. In comparison, less than 4 percent of survey respondents have used or are using newer forms of contraception, such as the one-monthly vaginal coil, subdermal implants and skin patches. Although the majority of women surveyed were using the pill, however, the survey also showed that those who were using newer forms of contraception (e.g., vaginal contraceptive rings, subdermal implants) were more satisfied with their contraception. Here, doctors help women find methods of contraception that minimize the chances of pregnancy and abortion, and it is our duty as doctors to make sure that as many women as possible are fully informed about the various forms of contraception so that they can make choices that are better suited to their needs. From now on, it’s not all about men! A survey of 2,500 American women. Several contraceptives with high success rates are listed below: Vaginal contraceptive sponge: The vaginal contraceptive sponge is round, its diameter is about 5.5 centimeters, the thickness is about 2.5 centimeters, one side of the depression can cover the cervical opening, and one side of the ring has a band that can be pulled out of the sponge after sex. The success rate is as high as 84%. The cute shaped contraceptive sponge is easy to use and you can wear one and do it many times in 24 hours. But it’s too painful to take out, and you can get skin irritation from the spermicide in the sponge. Vaginal Contraceptive Sponge Contraceptive Vaginal Ring: The contraceptive vaginal ring is a gentle, transparent ring with an outer diameter of 5.4mm, which can be placed only once a month, and can be easily inserted into the vagina by the woman herself, after which there is no need to use other contraceptive measures, and it is a hormonal method of contraception, with a 92% success rate. it is taken out after 3 weeks, and then inserted into a new one one a week later. Contraceptive vaginal ring Methylprednisolone contraceptive injection: a single dose can prevent pregnancy for 3 months. Inject 150mg once on the 2nd to 7th day of menstruation, once every 3 months. Methylhydroxyprogesterone contraceptive injection Contraceptive diaphragm: The diaphragm can only guarantee contraception once, if you have sex again, you need to use it again. You should not douche your vagina immediately after having sex. If you don’t wash it, it will be absorbed and discharged with vaginal secretions and will not cause harm to your body. Female Contraceptive Diaphragm Female Contraceptive Patch: The contraceptive patch is about the size of half a business card, like a small flesh-colored sticker. By releasing hormones uninterruptedly, it enters the bloodstream through the skin and blood vessels, thus inhibiting ovulation and thus achieving contraceptive effect. It can be applied to any of the four areas: buttocks, abdomen, outer arm and outer shoulder, but not on the chest. Apply a patch on the first day of your period or on the first Sunday of your period and replace it on the same day of each week for three weeks. It is not necessary to use it for the fourth week. The patch is waterproof, so users don’t have to worry about it falling off in the shower or while swimming. The success rate is also 92%. Female Contraceptive Patch IUD: This scary looking thing is called an IUD, which is more of a “device” called an intrauterine device. It stays in the uterus for five years from the time it’s inserted. It is particularly suitable for women with heavy and painful menstrual periods, and has a 99% success rate, which means there is almost no chance of pregnancy. IUD Sterilization: The procedure itself is far more brutal than the picture painted, and I don’t want to go into it here, but the success rate is almost 100 percent. It’s still not recommended unless you’ve broken off the idea of renewing your marriage! (Source) Sterilization Female Condom: The female condom is made of polyurethane, coated with lubricant, and is similar in appearance to the male condom. It is placed in the vagina and the closed end covers the cervix. Like the male condom, it can only be used once. Female Condom Diaphragm Contraceptive Method: You must have a doctor’s recommendation to use this method. Women can insert or remove the diaphragm themselves, a dome-like disk that prevents sperm from entering the cervix and is coated with a spermicide on its underside that kills any sperm that comes near it. Once placed, it is effective for up to six hours. Cervical Cap Birth Control: The cervical cap is made of soft rubber, like a membrane, and must be recommended by a doctor for use only. The bottom of the cap is coated with a spermicide and once placed in the vagina, the contraceptive effect lasts up to 48 hours. To avoid symptoms of toxic shock, the cervical cap should be removed after 48 hours. Compared to the most primitive methods of contraception – squatting down to expel semen after intercourse, sneezing, and bouncing up and down – you have to say that technology is really advanced nowadays! Unplanned pregnancy is a nightmare for many people because, except for some of those who are married to their children, all other women have to undergo the harrowing experience of life and death on the abortion table. Cervical cap contraceptive method Subcutaneous implantation: Subcutaneous implantation is an implantation agent that slowly releases progesterone, which is used to achieve contraception by inhibiting ovulation, altering the viscosity of the cervical fluid, preventing sperm from penetrating, and interfering with the implantation of a fertilized egg. Subcutaneous implantation contraceptive method is to put a certain dose of progesterone in a silicon capsule tube, and then bury this tube under the skin, so that it slowly releases a small amount of progesterone, thus playing a contraceptive role. According to relevant statistics, the pregnancy rate of women using this method is only 0.1% within 2 years and 0.24% within 3 years. Subcutaneous implantation of contraceptive methods used by the implantation of 1-6 matchstick-sized silicone capsule tube, each capsule tube is equipped with levothyroxine 18 methyl implantation agent (also known as Nopram) 34 mg, the capsule tube is buried in the subcutaneous tissues, and immediately began to slowly release the agent, 24 hours after the contraceptive effect can be played, effective contraceptive time for 4-5 years. The average placement time is ½ to 2 minutes and removal takes up to 5 minutes. It is placed on days 1 to 5 of menstruation. With these female contraceptives now available, women have the autonomy to control whether they will get pregnant or not, somehow reducing the embarrassment of convincing older men to use condoms and the spoilsport of breaking the romantic atmosphere of foreplay by wearing condoms. But this is no excuse for men to get away with it and have their way!
