Medical Conditions - Hormonal Contraception

The use of hormones progesterone and estrogen to prevent pregnancy is called hormonal contraception. They work by either preventing ovulation, thicken the cervical mucus to prevent sperm from entering the uterus, and by making the uterus lining thin to prevent implantation. The different types of hormonal contraception are oral contraceptives, injectable Progestin, vaginal ring, intrauterine hormonal device, and Progestin implants.
