BIRTH CONTROL

WHAT IS BIRTH CONTROL?


 Birth control, also known as contraception, is a
method used to prevent pregnancy, and it comes
in various forms, each with different effectiveness
and considerations.

Does Birth Control Work After You Have Had Unprotected Sex?
 The answer is yes. In case you had unprotected sex, an emergency contraceptive pill,
also known as the morning after pill or Plan B, is your best option. This works within a
certain time period, mostly up to 32 hours. The effectiveness drops with each passing
hour.

What Is the Cheapest Form of Birth Control?


 The pull-out technique is literally free, but its effectiveness is also quite doubtful. It is
wiser to think about how much a pregnancy can cost you rather than the cost of the
birth control measures.

Condoms are a popular form of birth control that provide


a barrier to prevent pregnancy and protect against
sexually transmitted infections (STIs). They come in two
main types: external (male) condoms, which are worn on the
penis, and internal (female) condoms, which are inserted into
the vagina. When used correctly and consistently, condoms
are 98% effective at preventing pregnancy.

There are many methods available to help prevent


pregnancy, with some of the most popular
including condoms and birth control pills. Deciding
which method is right can be tough because there are
many issues to consider, including costs, future pregnancy
plans, side effects, and others.

Birth control, also known as contraception,


refers to methods used to prevent pregnancy.
There are several types of birth control
methods, including:
 BARIER METHODS:
SUCH AS CONDOMS AND
DIAPHRAGMS, WHICH PHYSICALLY
BLOCK SPERM FROM REACHING THE
