What is the best method of contraception? Which contraceptive method is most suitable for you?

As part of fertility planning, contraception needs to be individually selected based on one's physical condition, family and marital status, and future fertility needs. To make it easier for everyone to understand, we will recommend appropriate methods according to different age groups.

The first stage : passionate love or newlywed period. Girls at this stage are young (usually around 20 to 30 years old) and have never given birth to children. When choosing a contraceptive method, it is recommended to be convenient and not affect future pregnancy. The recommendation is a combined short-acting oral contraceptive. This medicine has a better contraceptive effect, can regulate menstruation and does not affect sex life, which is very suitable for fairies at this stage. If you are worried about gaining weight after eating, you can choose the fourth generation, which has less effect on endocrine, and you don’t have to worry about weight gain caused by water and sodium retention. In addition, condoms are also the best choice. Contraceptive suppositories, films, etc. can also be chosen, but such contraceptive products are relatively rare in China, so it is more appropriate to prepare some condoms. Here, a special reminder: intrauterine contraceptive rings are not recommended for contraception at this stage. All fairies must pay attention.

The second stage : lactation This stage mainly refers to women who are breastfeeding after giving birth. If you happen to be in this period, when choosing a contraceptive method, it is recommended to follow the principle of not affecting breastfeeding. Then condoms are recommended, which is a simple and effective method. In addition, you can also choose intrauterine contraceptive rings for contraception. However, it is not recommended to use combined short-acting oral contraceptives, contraceptive injections and other contraceptive methods, because this will affect the quality of breast milk.

The third stage : Late childbearing. Most of the fairies in this stage have already given birth to babies, passed the breastfeeding period, and have not yet reached menopause. For these women, it is recommended to choose a long-term, safe and reliable contraceptive method. For example, using an intrauterine contraceptive ring, oral combined short-acting contraceptive pills, contraceptive injections or condoms are all good methods.

You can choose the appropriate method based on your physical condition, economic conditions, and contraindications. If you have a history of breast cancer, it is not recommended to use combined short-acting contraceptive pills; if you are allergic to copper, do not use copper-containing contraceptive rings, and you can change to hormonal contraceptive rings or use condoms for contraception. Mothers who have given birth to multiple babies can also choose sterilization surgery, such as ligation; if the father of the child agrees, he can also choose to have him ligated.
