Are three wrong contraceptive methods very dangerous? You need to know these safe and reliable contraceptive methods

In clinical practice, there are often many women who have had abortions. After investigation, it has been found that many of them are accidentally pregnant due to insufficient knowledge of contraception. In fact, abortion has a great impact on women's physical and mental health. Some women even lose their reproductive function, and the fetus is innocent. Every life should be cherished. Therefore, if you do not plan to have a child, you must do a good job in contraception and do not have the mentality of not getting pregnant.

What are the common contraceptive misconceptions?

1. Extracorporeal ejaculation contraception

The contraceptive method of external ejaculation refers to pulling out the penis immediately when orgasm is about to arrive during sexual activity, and then ejaculating semen into the female body. These seem to avoid the combination of sperm and eggs to achieve contraceptive effects, but in reality, the success rate of this method is extremely low because men do not only ejaculate during their last orgasm. Before the final ejaculation, a portion of the sperm has already entered the male urethra, and then enters the vagina or uterus through prostate fluid or urethral gland fluid. If a woman is in the ovulation phase at this time, it is easy to conceive, so the failure rate of using this contraceptive method is high, and unexpected pregnancies often occur. Therefore, it is not safe to use external ejaculation for contraception.

2. Cleaning the vagina for contraception

Some couples who lack contraceptive knowledge never use contraception during sexual intercourse. After sexual intercourse is over, they rinse their vagina with water, thinking that it can have a contraceptive effect. However, this idea is actually incorrect. Sperm has strong vitality, and semen is usually injected into the innermost part of the cervix and vagina. At this point, sperm can swim through the cervix to the uterus, slowly reaching the fallopian tubes, and combine with the eggs in the ampulla of the fallopian tubes to complete the fertilization process. The fastest process may be swimming to the fallopian tubes within 10 minutes, and the slowest may take several hours. Washing may not have the effect of contraception, but it can clean the bacteria and semen around the vagina.

3. Safe period contraception

The safe period refers to a period of time that is considered safe except for the ovulation period. The ovulation period refers to about 14 days before the next menstrual cycle, which is called the ovulation day. The pregnancy period is 4-5 days before and after the ovulation day, which is called the ovulation period. Having sexual intercourse during ovulation can easily lead to conception, and sexual activity outside of ovulation is less likely to lead to conception. However, using safe period contraception is sometimes not safe because premature or delayed ovulation caused by irregular menstruation or abnormal ovulation may lead to pregnancy during the safe period, so safe period contraception is also unreliable.
