World Contraception Day is celebrated every year on 26 September to make people aware of the correct methods of contraception across the world. By using contraceptives correctly, the overall health including reproductive health of both men and women can be improved. On the occasion of World Contraception Day, we will learn from the doctor what are the safe methods of contraception and when and how birth control pills should be used.
Dr. Surpreet Kaur Sandhu, gynecologist at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, New Delhi, says that the methods used for family planning or to prevent unwanted pregnancy are called contraception. Contraception can be a good option for family planning. Generally, there are 4 types of contraception. The first is the barrier contraceptive method. In this, male and female condoms are used to avoid pregnancy. The second method is medicinal contraception, in which pills are used to prevent pregnancy. This method is also called hormonal contraceptives. The third method is an intrauterine contraceptive device. In this, some products are inserted inside the uterus of women. The fourth method is surgical contraception, in which men and women are sterilized through surgery.
Which contraceptive pills should be taken?
According to Dr. Surpreet Kaur Sandhu, many people use contraceptive pills available in the market to prevent unwanted pregnancy, but doing so can be dangerous. Most of the contraceptive pills sold in the market are emergency pills, which can have serious side effects. There are two types of contraceptive pills. One normal and the other emergency pills. To prevent pregnancy, normal pills have to be taken continuously for 21 days, but they do not pose any serious risk.
Doctors give Emergency Pills only in emergency conditions and taking emergency pills without a doctor's advice can be harmful. Emergency pills should be taken only once or twice in a lifetime after consulting a doctor. If contraceptive pills are taken on the advice of a doctor, then it is considered safe to do so. Depending on age and body condition, different medicines are given to everyone and they are also monitored. In simple language, on the advice of experts, people should take only normal pills to prevent pregnancy.
Which is the safest contraception method?
According to gynecologists, the barrier contraceptive method is the safest contraceptive, in which male or female condoms are used. No side effects of any kind are seen in this method. If occasionally the condom bursts while having sex, then normal contraceptive pills can be taken on the advice of the doctor. Apart from this, contraceptive pills can also be considered safe on the advice of a doctor. The rest of the methods can be used as per medical conditions.
