Contraceptives prevent the risk of unwanted pregnancy and at the same time control women’s monthly cycle and the unpleasant premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Contraceptives contain synthetic hormones. Contraceptives are strictly individual. What’s right for one woman may not work for another, says Dr. Patti J. Ross, a professor of obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive science at the Houston School of Medicine. 35-year-old ladies, for example, have different needs and desires than 17-18-year-old girls, so they must also take different contraceptives. Contraceptives are not only prescribed against unwanted pregnancy. They can help with acne, relieve cramping and swelling during heavy periods, and improve menstrual regularity. Contraceptives can be replaced with another type of contraceptive, such as an IUD. The IUD is an intrauterine device that is replaced every few years. Contraceptives have side effects on health – it should not be forgotten that they are still medicines. In addition, an important fact is that they do not protect against sexually transmitted diseases and HIV. Condoms are the only means of preventing infection during sexual contact. We offer you a list of contraceptives with some of the signs by which they are selected, and it is important to note that contraceptives are prescribed by a doctor! The prescription of some of them is not simply for the purpose of contraception, but is part of the therapy of a given condition in the woman.
