Basics of Contraception

Ano ang Contraceptive Pills?

Contraceptive pills are a form of birth control that utilizes synthetic hormones to prevent pregnancy. These pills work by inhibiting the body’s natural ovulation cycle, thickening cervical mucus, and altering the uterine lining. This multi-faceted approach makes it highly effective in preventing sperm from reaching an egg. Learn more about contraceptive pills. The Effectiveness of Oral Contraceptives: What You Need to Know

Detailed Guide to Contraceptive Pills

How Do Contraceptive Pills Work?

Contraceptive pills prevent pregnancy primarily by stopping ovulation. No egg release means there’s nothing for sperm to fertilize. The pills also thicken cervical mucus, making it difficult for sperm to enter the uterus. Details on pill functionality. Ovulation Tests vs. Fertility Monitors: Which Should You Use?

Benefits and Side Effects of Contraceptive Pills

While the pills are highly effective for pregnancy prevention, they also regulate menstrual cycles and can reduce symptoms of menstrual cramps and certain skin conditions. However, they may cause side effects such as nausea and mood shifts. Understanding these can help in making an informed choice. Read about the benefits and side effects.

Other Birth Control Methods

Natural Birth Control Methods

Natural methods include tracking ovulation cycles and withdrawal. These require a high degree of self-awareness and discipline and generally have higher failure rates compared to other methods. Learn about natural methods.

Emergency Contraception and Implants

Emergency contraception can be taken after unprotected intercourse to prevent pregnancy. Implants, on the other hand, provide long-term protection and are an effective yet less common option in the Philippines due to accessibility issues. More on emergency methods and implants.

Non-Hormonal Birth Control Options

For those who cannot use hormonal methods, options like condoms and diaphragms are available. These methods do not alter hormone levels in the body and provide a barrier to prevent sperm from reaching an egg. Explore non-hormonal options.
