The best method for birth control or avoiding pregnancy depends on individual preferences, health considerations, and lifestyle. Common methods include:
- Condoms: Provide protection against both pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
- Birth Control Pills: Hormonal pills that prevent ovulation and thicken cervical mucus.
- Intrauterine Device (IUD): A small device placed in the uterus to prevent pregnancy.
- Depo-Provera (Depo Shot): Injectable hormonal contraception.
- Implant: A small rod inserted under the skin that releases hormones to prevent pregnancy.
- Natural Family Planning: Monitoring menstrual cycles and fertility for timing intercourse.
It’s essential to consult with healthcare professionals to determine the most suitable method based on individual health, preferences, and lifestyle.
