What are the misconceptions about contraception?
1. Condoms can provide 100% contraception
Currently, there is no contraceptive method that can achieve 100% contraception, except for abstinence. The correct use of condoms can achieve a contraceptive success rate of around 95%. This is a safe contraceptive method that almost does not affect physiological function or cause any physiological discomfort. It is safe, non-toxic, and has no side effects. However, improper size, dryness, or expiration of condoms can easily cause condom rupture, leading to contraceptive failure.
2. Condoms are 100% effective in preventing sexually transmitted diseases
Although condoms can prevent sexual organ contact and prevent sexually transmitted diseases, their effectiveness is not 100%. Condoms can only block bacteria with larger particles, and can not resist hepatitis B virus, AIDS virus, etc.
3. Using external ejaculation for contraception
Many young couples use external ejaculation for contraception, but the risk of unintended pregnancy is extremely high. If the timing is not grasped properly, a small amount of sperm may enter the vagina, resulting in contraceptive failure.
4. Using contraceptive pills to treat acne
There are two types of birth control pills. One is a short-acting contraceptive pill that needs to be taken continuously for 21 days with minimal side effects. It can also assist in treating various diseases such as menstrual irregularities, dysmenorrhea, and acne, while also reducing the risk of developing various cancers. One is the emergency contraception, which is a remedial measure after the event. The contraceptive rate is not very high, and frequent use is likely to lead to menstrual disorders.
5. Believing in delayed condoms
A delayed function condom is now appearing on the market and is being sought after by many men. There are two types of delay functions. One is physical delay, which reduces penile sensitivity by increasing the thickness of the condom, thereby extending sexual intercourse time; One is chemical delay, which involves adding surface anesthetics to the condom. The former has no discomfort to the body, but frequent use of the latter can reduce local sensitivity and induce various side effects.
