The three main ways of birth control are: contraception (the prevention of fertilization of the ovum by sperm cells), contragestion (preventing the fertilized egg from implantation - morning-after-pill), and the chemical or surgical induction of abortion of the developing embryo/fetus.

Withdrawal (coitus interruptus) - when the man is about to have an orgasm he pulls his penis out of the vagina. The ejaculation occurs outside of the vagina.

8. Male condom – is a barrier which prevents pregnancy by stopping sperm from entering the vagina. It should be placed over the penis before sexual intercourse. They are made of polyurethane or latex. As well as preventing pregnancy, they also protect sexual partners from (STIs). Female condom - made of polyurethane. The female condom has a flexible ring at each end - one secures behind the pubic bone to hold the condom in place, while the other ring stays outside the vagina. moderncontraceptivemethods

10. Spermicides - may be placed in the vagina before intercourse and create a chemical barrier. Spermicides may be used alone, or in combination with a physical barrier. Contraceptive sponge - The contraceptive sponge has a depression to hold it in place over the cervix. Foam is placed into the vagina using an applicator. As well as having a spermicidal which destroys the male sperm, the sponge also acts as a barrier which stops the sperm from reaching the egg. Moderncontraceptivemethods

12. Diaphragm – goes behind the woman's pubic bone and has a firm but flexible ring, which helps it press against the vaginal walls. It is a rubber dome-shaped device which is placed over the cervix. Cervical cap - fits over the cervix and blocks sperm from entering the uterus. The cervical cap is a latex rubber barrier device. A spermicide should fill about 1/3 of the cap. The cap should then be carefully positioned in the vagina, covering the cervix. The cap stays in place by suction. Moderncontraceptivemethods

14. The Lea contraceptive - is a soft pliable cup-shaped bowl with a loop. It is inserted into the vagina before intercourse and prevents sperm from entering the cervix. To be effective it must be used with a spermicide and left in place for 8 hours. The Pill - combined contraceptive pills have two hormones - an estrogen and progestin. They stop the release of the egg (ovulation), and also make the lining of the uterus thinner. When used correctly about 3 in every 1,000 women will have accidental pregnancy.

16. Contraceptive patch – a patch sticked to the skin. It releases synthetic estrogen and progestin hormones. They have been shown to be as effective as the combined oral contraceptive pill. The "Patch" is worn each week for 3 consecutive weeks, generally on the lower abdomen or buttocks. The fourth week is patch-free. Contraceptive vaginal ring (NuvaRing) - It is a flexible plastic ring that releases a low dose of a progestin and an estrogen over 3 weeks. The woman inserts the NuvaRing into the vagina for a 3-week period, and then removes it for one week, during which she will have menstrual period. Moderncontraceptivemethods

18. Contraceptive injection - is a progestin-only long acting reversible hormonal contraceptive which is injected every 3 months. It stops the woman from releasing an egg and provides other contraceptive effects. Implants – Implanon is a rod with a core of progestin (etonogestrel). It is inserted under the skin of the upper arm of a woman. The progestin is released slowly. The implant is effective for 3 years. Moderncontraceptivemethods

20. This refers to contraceptive measures that, if taken after sex, may prevent pregnancy. They include: Emergency contraceptive pills - They are drugs that prevent ovulation or fertilization and possible post-fertilization implantation of an embryo. Emergency contraceptive pills are different from medical abortion methods that act after implantation (when the fertilized egg is implanted in the womb). Emergencycontraception

22. A small, flexible T-shaped device that is placed in the uterus by a physician. IUDs are currently used by about 160 million women, most of them in China. It stays in place the entire time pregnancy is not desired. An IUD can last from 5 to 10 years. Tubal ligation - a permanent form of female sterilization. The fallopian tubes are severed and sealed in order to prevent fertilization. Intrauterine device (IUD)

24. Male contraceptive pill - they are not currently on the market, although they are in different stages of research and development. Vasectomy - a surgical procedure designed to make a man sterile. The right and left tubes through which sperm pass into the ejaculate, are cut or blocked. Although a vasectomy is sometimes reversible (vasovasostomy) the likelihood of an abundance of abnormal sperm is higher, resulting in lower fertility. Men who have undergone vasectomy reversal may lead to a higher rate of birth defects. Malecontraception
