Planning and Contraception Methods
Planning and Contraception Methods
Family planning and contraception methods play a crucial role in allowing individuals to control their reproductive health and make informed decisions about if and when to have children. There are various methods available, ranging from hormonal contraceptives like birth control pills, patches, and injections to barrier methods such as condoms and diaphragms. Long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) like intrauterine devices (IUDs) and implants offer highly effective, low-maintenance options. Additionally, fertility awareness methods track ovulation and menstrual cycles to help identify fertile days for those wishing to conceive or avoid pregnancy naturally. Sterilization procedures, including tubal ligation and vasectomy, provide permanent contraception for individuals who have completed their desired family size.
