With the openness of sexual thoughts, the incidence rate of sexually transmitted diseases has increased year by year, especially syphilis, genital herpes and gonorrhea. There is now a condom on the market that not only provides contraception, but also effectively prevents sexually transmitted diseases. However, this does not mean that condoms are completely safe, and they can also bring three unexpected side effects to the body.
What side effects can using condoms bring?
1. Bacterial infection
Usually, condoms are processed and produced by machines, with rubber being the main material. All condoms produced by legitimate manufacturers have guaranteed quality and sterile operation. However, some unscrupulous merchants save costs in order to obtain windfall profits, resulting in poor quality or pollution of production materials. If you use this low-quality condom and do not pay attention to local hygiene, it can breed a large number of bacteria, increasing the risk of developing urinary tract infections or gynecological diseases.
2. Inducing gynecological diseases
There are many unscrupulous small workshops that process condoms themselves, and the quality of these condoms is worrying. Some young people choose unconventional products due to their greed for temporary cheapness or shyness, which can cause harm to the body and easily lead to bacterial infections, leading to gynecological diseases.
3. Causing allergies
Condoms are small in size and easy to carry and use. However, the main material of condoms is rubber, and the surface is coated with lubricant, which is not purely natural. Most people have no reaction to lubricants, but people with allergic constitution may experience allergic reactions after contact, such as itching, redness, or pain in their private areas.
What other contraceptive methods do you need to master?
1. Subcutaneous Implantation Contraception
Subcutaneous implantation contraception involves implanting small hoses under the surface of the upper arm skin, which slowly release progesterone in small doses within 3-5 years. Especially suitable for women undergoing long-term contraception and breastfeeding, it can effectively reduce menstrual bleeding and dysmenorrhea, and can immediately conceive after removal. However, this method cannot prevent sexually transmitted diseases, and irregular bleeding, breast swelling, pain, headache, and dizziness may occur in the first few months after implantation.
2. Intrauterine contraceptive system
The intrauterine contraceptive system, also known as the intrauterine device (IUD), involves placing the IUD in a woman's uterus and slowly releasing progesterone. The contraceptive effect can reach around 3-5 years, effectively improving dysmenorrhea and helping to regulate the menstrual cycle. Once removed, pregnancy can begin immediately. However, this method cannot prevent sexually transmitted diseases, as it suggests irregular menstruation and intermittent bleeding, accompanied by breast pain, headache, and nausea.
