The types of contraceptives

What are the types of contraceptives?
Condoms are the most popular and affordable contraceptives. They protect not only from unwanted pregnancies, but also from sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Condoms can be both male and female, but male condoms are more popular.
Vaginal diaphragms, cervical caps and sponges are female barrier contraceptives that do not affect the hormonal background. Suitable for nursing mothers.
Spermicides in the form of vaginal creams, suppositories, tablets and aerosols. They are inserted into the vagina before sexual intercourse. When ingested into the female body, the drug destroys spermatozoa.
Intrauterine devices — prevent the penetration of spermatozoa into the uterus, are injected into the body by a doctor. Spirals can be hormonal, inert, or copper-containing. Recommended for women who have already given birth to a child.
Vaginal rings are inserted into the vagina on their own, but the doctor determines the time of use. Rings release hormones in a woman's body that prevent pregnancy from occurring.
Birth control pills are hormonal medications that a doctor must prescribe. Hormonal drugs that prevent pregnancy.
Contraceptive injections are similar in principle to pills, but injections do not need to be done every day. A dose of the hormone is injected intramuscularly into a woman's body. The dosage of the injection is prescribed by the doctor.
Hormonal implants are thin sticks or capsules that are placed under the skin on the arm for a long time. They release a hormonal drug that prevents pregnancy.
Postcoital drugs — involve a single injection of a high dose of hormones into the body. They are used in emergency cases and are not suitable for frequent use.
From the point of view of practicality and safety, condoms are best suited. However, it is important to determine the size of the condom correctly and take into account a number of other points.
