What pills can be safely taken to avoid pregnancy?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I am here to provide expert opinion on your medical issues.

There are a variety of birth control options available to help you avoid pregnancy. The best option for you will depend on your individual needs and preferences. Here are a few options to consider:

1. Combined oral contraceptives (COCs): COCs are the most common type of birth control pill. They contain two hormones, namely Estrogen and Progestin, which work together to prevent ovulation. COCs are very effective at preventing pregnancy when taken correctly, with a typical failure rate of less than one percent. They can also help regulate your menstrual cycle and reduce your risk of ovarian cysts and endometrial cancer.
2. Progestin-only pills (POPs): POPs contain only Progestin, which thickens the cervical mucus making it difficult for the sperms to reach the egg. POPs are also very effective at preventing pregnancy when taken correctly, with a typical failure rate of less than two percent. They are a good option for women who cannot take Estrogen or who prefer a hormone-free method of birth control.
3. Hormonal patches and rings: These methods release hormones into the body through the skin. They are just as effective as COCs and POPs, but they may be more convenient for some women.
4. Intrauterine devices (IUDs): IUDs are small, T-shaped devices that are inserted into the uterus. They release hormones or copper to prevent pregnancy. IUDs are very effective at preventing pregnancy, with a typical failure rate of less than one percent. They can be left in place for up to 10 years.
5. Condoms: Last but not least, the best way to avoid STIs (sexually transmitted infections) is to use condoms which act as a physical barrier and prevents sperms from reaching the egg. They are an effective method of birth control, with a typical failure rate of less than two percent.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
