Do I need to use safety measures every day? Or do I need take care of this on specific days.
Brief Answer:
Barrier methods and hormonal contraception
Detailed Answer:
Hello there, Thanks for coming to HealthCareMagic. You're options for birth control are many and all are very effective when used correctly. I will give you some basic information on the common methods available to you and you can decide which is best in your current situation.
The most popular birth control methods fall into 2 categories.
1) Barrier control
2) Hormonal Control
Barrier control is the use of some sort of device or barrier during the act of coitus (having sex). A condom is useful for men and diaphragms are available for women, though they are not as effective as condoms. A combination of the 2 is very effective and there is no risk of side effects to her health due to the hormones being used in hormonal contraception.
Hormonal Control. This is where we discuss the use of OCPs (Oral Contraceptive Pills). They are a set of hormones that your wife has to take on a regular schedule. They prevent the release of an egg from the ovary and they prevent its fertilization. They are also very effective when used alone and are doubly effective when used with a barrier method.
Those are the two most commonly used methods. DO you have anything specific that you want to ask about?
Let me know,
