Study Notes
Birth Control Methods
-
Vasectomy: A surgical procedure where the vas deferens (tubes that carry sperm) are cut and tied. This is a form of permanent male sterilization but doesn't provide immediate sterility.
-
Fertility Awareness: Monitoring body temperature and cervical mucus changes to predict ovulation. Sperm are viable for up to 72 hours, while the ovum is viable within 24 hours of ovulation. Mucus consistency during ovulation is thin, slippery, and clear, making sperm passage easier.
-
Oral Contraceptives (Birth Control Pills): Contraindications include: thromboembolic disorders (blood clots), cerebrovascular accidents, heart disease, estrogen-dependent cancer, or breast cancer. Smoking history impacts risk assessment. A confirmed pregnancy or undiagnosed vaginal bleeding are also conditions to consider while on this kind of contraceptive.
