To prevent the unwanted conception or infection of sexually transmitted diseases from a sexual partner, it is necessary to use contraceptives. The modern market is full of various offers. Let's figure out which of them are the most suitable.

But he can only appoint a doctor who knows everything about the state of your body. Contraceptives must be used daily and take breaks for about three months.
  2. Also there are creams and gels . These means of contraception must be introduced before the process of coition. They contain a chemical element that neutralizes spermatozoa and blocks their penetration. But with frequent use this chemical element will disrupt the microflora, as a result of which the dysbacteriosis of the vagina may develop.
  3. Aerosol foam . This tool should also be applied before sex, but it can not provide reliable protection. Too much depends on the amount of foam applied, the shaking of the can before application and the fast toilet after the process. This category also includes various means of female contraception: ointments, jellies, candles, balls, sponges, pastes, tampons.

Barrier means of contraception

The remedy can be withdrawn no earlier than six hours after sexual intercourse, but not later than twenty-four. When choosing the right size, there can be difficulties. It is desirable to use it only periodically.
  3. The contraceptive sponge retains the sperm and prevents it from being ingested. The sponge must be inserted before copulation and placed in front of the cervix. It will not work more than a day.
  4. Sterilization . If you are no longer going to have children, you can perform an operation that will make conception impossible. You should know that this process is irreversible. As a rule, such an operation is carried out by people over thirty-five to forty years of age.

  2. Spiral . If you install it no later than one hundred and twenty hours after the alleged conception, then you can prevent fertilization. But experts recommend using the first option. Such drugs can be used for women with an unstable sex life.
