Study Notes
Natural Methods of Contraception
- Abstinence is the most effective natural method with a 0% fail rate.
- Calendar Method involves avoiding intercourse during the fertile window, calculated by tracking menstrual cycles for six months.
- Basal Body Temperature (BBT) Method tracks temperature changes. A slight decrease followed by a gradual increase in BBT suggests ovulation.
- Cervical Mucus Method observes changes in cervical mucus, which becomes copious, thin, and watery during ovulation.
- Symptothermal Method combines the BBT and cervical mucus methods for increased accuracy.
- Ovulation Detection Kits use urine samples to identify the surge of luteinizing hormone (LH) before ovulation.
- Coitus Interruptus involves withdrawal before ejaculation, but pre-ejaculation fluid can still contain sperm.
Artificial Methods of Contraception
- Oral Contraceptives (The Pill) contain synthetic estrogen and progesterone to prevent ovulation and thicken cervical mucus.
- Transdermal Patch releases estrogen and progesterone through skin absorption, applied for three weeks out of four.
- Vaginal Ring releases hormones into the vagina, inserted for three weeks and removed for the fourth week.
- Subdermal Implants are small rods inserted under the skin, releasing hormones to prevent pregnancy for 3-5 years.
- Hormonal Injections containing progesterone are administered every 12 weeks, affecting the endometrium and cervical mucus.
- Intrauterine Devices (IUDs) are small T-shaped objects inserted into the uterus, preventing implantation or fertilization.
- Barrier Methods like condoms prevent sperm from reaching the egg.
- Male Sterilization (Vasectomy) blocks the flow of sperm.
- Female Sterilization (Tubal Ligation) blocks the fallopian tubes, preventing egg transport.
