  1. Pregnancy Prevention

  2. Different types of prevention • What ways do you know of that would help in pregnancy prevention? • Abstinence • Birth control pills • Condoms • Condoms with Spermicide • Contraceptive Injection (Depo-Provera) • Contraceptive Patch (Ortho Evra) • Diaphragm • Female Condom • IUD • Vaginal Contraceptive Ring • Surgeries ( ex. Vasectomy)

  3. Abstinence • Abstinence is not having sex. • If two people don't have sex, then sperm can't fertilize an egg and there's no possibility of a pregnancy. • Abstinence is 100% effective in preventing pregnancy.

  4. Surgeries • Female • Tubal Ligation • In tubal ligation, the two fallopian tubes get disconnected. • Benefits • It's the most effective method of contraception that is controlled by women. It is ideal for women who don't want to have any more children. • Male • Vasectomy • The surgery blocks a male's sperm duct and prevents sperm from entering the ejaculate. The male can still ejaculate during sex, but the fluid doesn't contain any sperm • Benefits • The procedure is easy, permanent, and relieves both men and women of contraceptive burdens.

  5. Birth Control • Birth control Pills • The oral contraceptive pill is one of the most researched drugs in the world. • It is also one of the world's most prescribed medications - about 100 million women across the globe rely on it. • In addition to being the most effective form of contraception, the Pill regulates the menstrual cycle, reduces menstrual flow

  6. Birth Control cont. • Vaginal Ring • This soft, flexible, clear plastic ring measures 54mm in diameter and is inserted into a woman's vagina where it slowly releases two female hormones (estrogen and a progestin) for three weeks • In addition to preventing pregnancy, the ring has the added benefit of making a woman's periods more regular, lighter, and may reduce cramping • Intrauterine Contraceptive Device (The Copper IUD) • The IUD is a small, T-shaped device with a copper wire. Inserted into the uterus, the copper wire changes the chemistry in the uterus and destroys sperm • The copper IUD provides up to 5 years of contraception, and has no negative impact on future fertility,

  7. Birth Control cont. • Contraceptive Patch • It is a 4 x 4 cm beige patch that sticks to a woman's skin and continuously releases estrogen and a progestin. • The patch prevents pregnancy primarily by stopping the ovaries from releasing an egg, but it may also thicken the cervical mucus

  8. Condom • Female Condom • This condom holds in the sperm, preventing it from entering the vagina • Benefits • It's the only contraceptive controlled by females that protects them from both pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

  9. Condom cont. • Male Condom • The male condom is a latex sheath that is rolled over a male's penis to prevent secretions (including semen) from entering the vagina • condoms are 97% effective when used properly and consistently, and they protect against most STIs.

  10. Now you try!

  11. HOW TO USE A CONDOM The Right Way! • Use a new condom before each sex act. • Put on a condom when the penis is erect, but before sexual penetration. • Hold the condom by the tip and unroll it so it covers the entire erect penis. • If the condom doesn't have a "reservoir end," squeeze tip of condom to remove air. • If the penis is uncircumcised, pull the foreskin back before putting on the condom. • After ejaculation, hold the condom close to the base of the penis and carefully withdraw. • Immediately throw away used condoms. • If you feel a condom break while having intercourse, stop and withdraw immediately.

  12. Myths about pregnancy prevention • You can get pregnant: • The first time you have sex. • If you don't have an orgasm. • If you use cling wrap instead of condoms. • If you jump up and down after sex. • If you have your period. • You can't avoid pregnancy by: • Douching with water, cola or any fluid. • Inserting aspirins into the vagina before or after sex. • Jumping up and down after sex. • Urinating afterwards. • Smoking menthol cigarettes (they don't make you sterile). • Sneezing after sex. • Having intercourse standing up.
