There occur certain situations in life that are undesirable and detrimental. Unwanted pregnancy or accidental pregnancy is one of them that can cause mayhem in a girl’s life, especially when she is not married. So, following mentioned are some essentials that you must espouse in order to evade or deal with unwanted pregnancy:
Use condoms- While having sex, take care that you or your partner is using condom. Condom principally is a barricade device most commonly used during sexual intercourse to diminish the likelihood of pregnancy and diffusion of sexually transmitted diseases. There are both, male as well as female condoms available. Female condom is a polyurethane sheath that outlines the intact vagina, enabling the closed end to be inserted in vagina and keeping the open end outside the body. Female condoms are however not readily available, so you can ask your partner to wear the condom and thus carry on safe sexual activity.
Oral contraceptives- There are several contraceptives (birth control pills) obtainable, which have been proven beneficial to subdue the problem of unwanted pregnancy. An oral contraceptive is a pill that is to be taken daily after unprotected sex to prevent pregnancy. These pills are effective in preventing pregnancy but certainly not helpful in safeguarding against sexually transmitted diseases. So, if you are not certain that your partner is free from any disease, you should consider using another form of safe sex technique as a backing to avert these diseases. Also there are some side-effects that come alongside with pills usage like nausea, petulance, weight changes, and breast tenderness. The side-effects are not severe but can be avoided altogether.
Other contraceptive methods- There are some more contraceptive methods like diaphragm, cervical cap, vaginal hormonal ring(nuva-ring), female sterilization, contraceptive injections, vasectomy, etc. that can help you to avoid unwanted pregnancy.
Despite all these methods, abstinence is the best, foolproof and safest method to prevent both pregnancy and STDs. Sexual abstinence is actually a choice to refrain from sexual activity and so is foolproof but certainly not the most popular choice. So, adopt other mentioned options and enjoy benefits.
If you opt for the option of taking contraceptive pills orally, make sure that you take the pills as per the prescription in order to avoid any breakage in the cycle
