Can men use contraception?

Many people only know that female friends can use contraception, but they don’t know that male friends can also use contraception. There are many ways to achieve this goal. The most effective one is sterilization. After this operation, it can prevent accidental pregnancy from occurring again during sexual intercourse. This is very bad for the health of both husband and wife, so special attention should be paid.

The progestogen-only contraceptive injection is given once on the 5th day of menstruation and then once every 3 months. About 2/3 of women experience irregular bleeding after using the progestogen-only injection. It can be used for breastfeeding women.

5. Subcutaneous implant contraceptive method

Subcutaneous implantation is to place a certain amount of progesterone in a silicone capsule tube, and then bury the tube under the skin, so that it slowly releases a small amount of progesterone, thereby playing a contraceptive role. After the capsule tube is buried in the subcutaneous tissue, it immediately begins to slowly release the contraceptive pill, and it can play a contraceptive role after 24 hours. The effective contraceptive time is 5 years. In the early stage of use, irregular menstruation, prolonged menstruation, increased menstrual flow and menstrual disorders may occur, and some women may even have amenorrhea.

Women under the age of 40 who need long-term contraception can use this method as long as they are in good health. It is especially suitable for women who are prone to failure when using IUDs, women who cannot take contraceptives on time, and women who are concerned about having sterilization surgery.

6. Intrauterine contraceptive device

Commonly known as "internal ring", it is mostly used for women after childbirth and is a commonly used, relatively safe and reliable contraceptive method. In some cases, after the placement of the intrauterine ring, there may be increased menstrual flow, menstrual abdominal pain, uterine perforation or induced inflammation. Women with gynecological inflammation, irregular or excessive menstruation, and genital tumors should not wear the intrauterine ring.

7. Tubal ligation

Tubal ligation is a surgery to tie both sides of the fallopian tubes, blocking the passage of the egg to the uterus, in order to achieve the purpose of permanent sterilization of women. It is suitable for adult women who want permanent sterilization and have no contraindications to the surgery. Women who only want temporary or reversible contraception are not suitable for this surgery.

8. Vasectomy

Male contraceptive method suitable for adult men who wish to achieve permanent sterilization and have no contraindications to surgery.

9. Ejaculation outside the body

Although the external ejaculation method of contraception is simple, it is not reliable and has a high failure rate.
