What is the best contraceptive method for women? Women need to know four different stages of contraception knowledge

Pre birth refers to the stage before birth, including adolescent girls. Before giving birth, contraception methods that have little impact on future fertility and are less susceptible to infection should be chosen. Before giving birth for the first time, it is usually divided into the first sexual intercourse time (usually referring to the new marriage period) and after a certain sexual intercourse time (approximately 2-3 months after marriage).

During the first period of sexual activity, due to the tight reproductive tract of women and the lack of sexual experience on both sides, it is advisable to choose short-term oral contraceptives, male condoms, etc. If sexual activity occurs without preparation, emergency contraceptives, short-term oral contraceptives, and male condoms can be taken. After a period of sexual activity, if the female reproductive tract expands, methods such as female condoms, external spermicides, vaginal contraceptive rings, etc. that are combined with barrier contraception during safe periods can also be chosen, such as using condoms during dangerous periods and using external spermicides during safe periods.

Intrauterine device (IUD) should not be selected before initial childbirth, and in special cases, it should be selected under the guidance of a doctor. Long term oral contraceptives and long-term contraceptive injections should generally not be chosen before first birth. Because these long-term contraceptives take a long time to resume fertility after discontinuation.

Women who breastfeed after childbirth:

Contraceptive methods that do not affect lactation, breastfeeding, or infant growth should be chosen.

(1) Intrauterine devices can be placed immediately after delivery or 42 days after delivery

(2) Simple pregnancy hormone contraception methods, such as subcutaneous implants and simple pregnancy hormone long acting contraceptive needles. Many data indicate that simple progesterone contraception has no significant effect on milk secretion and has no significant impact on infant growth and development.

(3) Breastfeeding amenorrhea contraception or Billings natural contraception.

(4) Condoms, soluble spermicide for external use, such as freezing agent, gel agent, etc. Compound oral contraceptives should not be used during postpartum lactation, as estrogen may affect milk secretion. During lactation, it is also not advisable to use non soluble topical spermicides, such as contraceptive pills, medication films, etc., as the amount of vaginal secretions produced by lactating mothers is low and difficult to dissolve.

Women born after childbirth:

Most women have a contraceptive period of about 20 years after giving birth, and it is advisable to choose relatively long-term, stable, and reversible contraceptive methods (such as intrauterine devices, subcutaneous implants, long-term contraceptive needles, etc.), which can be restored at any time when needed. According to each individual's situation, short-term contraceptives, various barrier contraceptives, external spermicides, natural contraception, infertility surgery, etc. can also be chosen.
