What is contraception and what methods are available?
Contraception refers to methods used to prevent pregnancy. Available methods include barrier methods (condoms), hormonal methods (pills, injections), intrauterine devices (IUDs), implants, and natural family planning. Each method has different effectiveness rates and considerations.
How effective are different contraceptive methods?
Effectiveness varies by method: IUDs and implants are over 99% effective, hormonal methods are 91-99% effective with perfect use, barrier methods like condoms are about 85% effective with typical use. Consult with a healthcare provider to choose the best method for you.
What is emergency contraception and when should it be used?
Emergency contraception (morning-after pill) can prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. It's most effective when taken within 72 hours but can work up to 120 hours after unprotected sex. It's not intended for regular use.
