What are the effective contraceptive methods?

Many women who undergo abortions have unplanned pregnancies because they do not pay attention to contraception or choose ineffective contraceptive methods. We emphasize that the key to correct contraception is to choose an effective and reliable contraceptive method, such as oral contraceptives, condoms, etc.

However, at present, there is still a big gap between the recognition and acceptance of highly effective contraceptive methods by young people in my country and those in developed countries. In my country, the use rates of condoms and short-acting oral contraceptives, two highly reliable contraceptive methods, are both lower than the global average, especially short-acting oral contraceptives.

On the one hand, this is because young people in China lack correct knowledge of contraception. Many people do not know what short-acting oral contraceptives are, and some people cannot distinguish between them and emergency contraceptives. On the other hand, many Chinese women still have deep misunderstandings about contraceptives. In fact, after 50 years since its invention, as a drug that has been widely and deeply studied, new oral contraceptives have reduced side effects to a very low level.

In fact, oral contraceptives are a good choice, but we have had some prejudices against them in the past. New oral contraceptives are highly effective and safe, and they can also provide users with some additional benefits: such as helping women to have regular menstruation and improve acne. Short-acting oral contraceptives containing drospirenone can also overcome the side effect of previous contraceptives that cause weight gain, helping women maintain a good figure.

Scientific contraception can not only protect the health of girls themselves, but more importantly, it can enable young men and women to jointly assume responsibilities to each other, to the family and to society, allowing young people to face their future lives more maturely, rather than letting unexpected pregnancy and abortion become turning points in their lives.
