Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on Contraception

Contraception, or birth control, refers to methods used to prevent pregnancy. It includes hormonal, barrier, permanent, and natural methods.

  • Hormonal Methods: Birth control pills, patches, injections, implants, and hormonal IUDs.
  • Barrier Methods: Condoms, diaphragms, and cervical caps.
  • Long-acting Methods: Copper and hormonal IUDs.
  • Permanent Methods: Tubal ligation (female sterilization) and vasectomy (male sterilization).
  • Natural Methods: Fertility awareness and withdrawal (less effective).

Long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) like IUDs and implants are the most effective, with over 99% success rates. Permanent methods are also highly effective but irreversible.

  • Some methods may cause side effects like weight changes, mood swings, irregular periods, or nausea. Barrier methods like condoms have minimal side effects and also protect against STIs.

  •  

Yes, fertility usually returns after stopping most contraceptives, but the time varies. Some women conceive immediately, while others may take a few months.
