Contraceptives are any method used to prevent pregnancy. They are also known as birth control. Contraceptives work by preventing the sperm from reaching and fertilizing the egg, or by preventing the egg from implanting in the uterus. Contraceptives can be divided into two categories: hormonal and non-hormonal methods. Hormonal methods of contraception include the pill, the patch, the ring, the injection, and the implant. These methods contain hormones that prevent ovulation, thicken cervical mucus, or thin the lining of the uterus. Hormonal methods are very effective at preventing pregnancy, but they do not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Non-hormonal methods of contraception include the diaphragm, the cervical cap, the sponge, the intrauterine device (IUD), and the male and female condom. These methods do not contain hormones and can provide protection against both pregnancy and STIs. When choosing a contraceptive, it is important to consider effectiveness, side effects, safety, and convenience. It is also important to talk to a healthcare provider to make sure the contraceptive is right for you.
