• Birth control or contraceptive method is one
  that prevents or reduces the chances of
  fertilization in fertile women who have sex
  heterosexual character.
• Contraceptive methods are instrumental in
  making decisions about birth control "number
  of children who are unwilling or unable to
  have", and the prevention of unwanted
  pregnancies and teenage pregnancies.
• The      history      of
  contraception
  indicates that it was in
  the second half of the
  twentieth       century
  when widespread use
  and access to different
  contraceptive
  methods.
Factors to be considered in the
choice of contraceptive method:
• Frequency of intercourse.
• Number of sexual partners.
• If you want to have children
  (irreversible methods should be
  discarded).
• Efficacy of each method in preventing
  pregnancy.
• Side Effects.
• Ease and convenience of use of the
  method chosen.
• Economic level access to their
  methods.
FOR THE WOMAN:
THE PILL
• The contraceptive pill (also
  known as "the pill") is a
  daily pill with hormones
  that alter body function to
  prevent           pregnancy.
  Hormones are chemicals
  that control the functioning
  of the body's organs. In this
  case, the hormones in the
  Pill control the ovaries and
  uterus.
THE CONTRACEPTIVE PATCH
            • Birth control patches
              are a type of hormonal
              contraception such as
              the pill or vaginal ring.
              It is a transdermal
              patch plastic beige fine
              and applied on the
              skin. The sticky part is
              the assets containing
              contraceptives.
THE VAGINAL RING




• The vaginal ring, monthly or contraceptive ring ring, whose
  trade name is NuvaRing is a hormonal birth control long-
  term consisting of a ring or plastic ring ethylene vinyl
  acetate of an inch in diameter, placed in the
  vagina, releases female hormones identical to the pill
  (etonogestrel and ethinyl estradiol) in low doses and
  constant and that absorbed by the lining of the
  vagina, preventing ovulation. Its effectiveness.
MENSTRUAL CYCLE
• The human female sexual cycle
  (or menstrual cycle) is the
  process by which they develop
  female gametes (eggs or oocytes)
  and produced a series of changes
  aimed at establishing a possible
  pregnancy. The beginning of the
  cycle is defined as the first day of
  menstruation and the end of the
  cycle is the day before the start
  of the next period. The average
  cycle length is 28 days, but may
  be longer or shorter
A CONDOM
• A condom is a barrier
  device       commonly        used
  during sexual intercourse to
  reduce the probability of
  pregnancy                     and
  spreading sexually transmitted
  diseases. It is put on a man's
  erect penis and physically
  blocks ejaculated semen from
  entering the body of a sexual
  partner. Condoms are also
  used for collection of semen
  for use in infertility treatment.
Tubal ligation
• Tubal ligation or tubectomy (also
  known as having one's "tubes
  tied" (ligation)) is a surgical
  procedure for sterilization in
  which a woman's fallopian
  tubes are clamped and blocked, or
  severed and sealed, either
  method of which prevents eggs
  from       reaching    the    uterus
  for fertilization. Tubal ligation is
  considered a permanent method
  of sterilization and birth control.
VASECTOMY
 • Vasectomy is a surgical
   procedure                      for
   male      sterilization    and/or
   permanent         birth   control.
   During the procedure, the vasa
   deferentia of a man are
   severed, and then tied/sealed
   in a manner such to prevent
   sperm from entering into the
   seminal stream (ejaculate).
   Vasectomies         are    usually
   performed in a physician's
   office or medical clinic.
SPERMICIDE
• Spermicide is a contraceptive substance that
  eradicates sperm, inserted vaginally prior to intercourse
  to prevent pregnancy. As a contraceptive, spermicide
  may be used alone. However, the pregnancy rate
  experienced by couples using only spermicide is higher
  than that of couples using other methods.
  Usually,     spermicides     are     combined        with
  contraceptive        barrier        methods          such
  as diaphragms,condoms, cervical caps, and sponges.
  Combined methods are believed to result in lower
  pregnancy rates than either method alone.
THE DIAPHRAGM
• The diaphragm is a cervical barrier type
  of      birth      control.      It  is     a
  soft latex or silicone dome with a spring
  molded into the rim. The spring creates a seal
  against the walls of the vagina.
THE CONTRACEPTIVE SPONGE
• The contraceptive sponge
  combines barrier and spermicidal methods to
   prevent conception. Three brands are marketed:
   Pharmatex, Protectaid and Today. Pharmatex is
   marketed in France and the province of Quebec;
   Protectaid in the rest of Canada and Europe; and
   Today in the United States
A CONTRACEPTIVE IMPLANT
• A contraceptive implant is a birth control device
  inserted under the skin by a doctor. The implant
  is among the most effective birth control
  methods. After it is inserted it prevents
  pregnancy by releasing hormones that prevent
  ovaries from releasing eggs and by thickening
  cervical mucous. The implant can prevent
  pregnancy for up to three years. Though it
  protects against pregnancy, it does not protect
  against STIs. The costs for implantation range
