What are the methods of emergency contraception?

For men and women in love, there are many cases where they have sex due to temporary interest and passion. At this time, if they happen to not take contraceptive measures and ejaculate into the woman's body, if the woman is not prepared to take contraceptive measures and does not intend to get pregnant, then they can only use emergency contraceptive measures. There are several ways of emergency contraception, such as taking emergency contraceptive pills, timely flushing, etc.

What are the methods of emergency contraception?

Currently, the more common contraceptive methods are drug contraception and physical contraception. The physical method can be divided into two types. The following is a detailed introduction to each method. Female friends who are interested can read it in detail:

1. Emergency contraceptive pills

Generally speaking, taking emergency contraceptive pills after sex is the most popular contraceptive method among women. Firstly, it is very quick to buy contraceptive pills, as they are sold in every pharmacy on the street; secondly, it is very convenient to put into practice. Just like taking general medicines, there is no operational difficulty in taking birth control pills. As long as you take the pills on time and in the right amount, you can usually achieve good contraceptive effects. However, medicines are still medicines after all, especially this type of contraceptive that takes effect quickly. It is understandable that there are some side effects. You must not take them frequently.

2. Timely flushing method for contraception

This is a very safe and relatively reliable method of contraception, but it is slightly more complicated to use than oral contraceptives. After sexual intercourse, female friends can immediately squat and rinse the reproductive tract with water. After the rinse is completed, wait for the water to completely flow out before standing up. If you can do this flushing twice within five minutes after sex, the contraceptive effect will be quite good. The water used to clean the vagina can be warm water or a solution mixed with washing liquid ingredients. It can inhibit sperm motility and have a bactericidal effect, making it an excellent choice for emergency contraception. In addition, female friends should try not to use soapy water to wash the reproductive tract, because soapy water is highly alkaline and will change the acidity and alkalinity in the reproductive tract, which may be detrimental to the growth and reproduction of other beneficial bacteria.

3. IUD for contraception

The success rate of IUD contraception is quite high. This internal contraceptive device can effectively prevent sperm and egg from meeting each other and will not affect the stability of the body's internal environment. Compared with the 72-hour effectiveness of contraceptive pills and the 5-minute time limit of the flushing method, IUD contraception is not so urgent and can be operated within five days.

In addition to being used for emergency contraception, intrauterine devices can also play a role in long-term birth control. For women who already have children and have no plans to have children again, once the IUD is inserted, it is not removed and can provide safety for about 10 years. However, the IUD is a foreign body to the human body after all. It requires careful care after placement and attention to changes in the lower body. It must be replaced in time before the expiration of its service life to avoid inflammation or rejection reactions.
