  • Sterilization

  • Implant
  • Contraceptive strip
  • Intrauterine devices
  • Combined pill
  • Small pill
  • Man’s condoms
  • Woman’s condoms
  • Sponge + spermicidal
  • Diaphragm
  • Immediate contraception – “the day after pill”
  • Natural method of contraception
Why should you use contraception?
  • A majority of diseases don’t have any kind of symptoms – especially among women. If they aren’t treated, they can lead to infertility; condoms are the only method of contraception that offer prevention from pregnancy and sexually spread diseases
  • It is vital that you use a condom every time before you have sex in order to protect yourself and your partner from sexually spread diseases and prevent unwilling pregnancy   
Where can I find contraception?
  • While deciding the method of contraception you would use or in case the selected method is inappropriate, you should consult your practitioner for advice
  • Your practitioner or local clinic for planning a family can help while selecting and using the best method of contraception
  • Condoms are very attainable and can be bought in bigger stores and pharmacies or can be ordered from the internet; you must check that the package is undamaged and that there is a symbol which guarantees quality of the product
What to do in case of suspecting the effectiveness of contraception?
  • If the contraception method is unsuccessful or if you had an intercourse without contraception, consult your practitioner immediately
What important details should I remember?
  • There is no 100% effective protection
  • The most common cause for an unsuccessful contraception is personal error
  • Condoms are the only method that protects from sexually spread diseases and prevents unwilling pregnancy – by using other methods, sexually active people are vulnerable
  • By using condoms and pills simultaneously – double Dutch method – you ensure a happy and healthy sexual life (the double Dutch method is somewhere called just double method)
  • Certain drugs (for example, antibiotics) can affect the contraceptive pill, implant and contraceptive strip so you should consult your practitioner for advice before having sexual relations
  • The selection of a contraception method is selecting the best for you and your partner
  • If you suspect of having a sexually spread disease, immediately consult your practitioner or clinic for sexual diseases; a majority of sexually spread diseases can quickly be cured with use of antibiotics
  • Condoms shouldn’t only be used for casual sex or for new partners – people in long relationships should also protect themselves
  • Contraception should be used during every intercourse
  • Condoms are also called gums or preservatives
  • For immediate cases, contraceptive devices are available even in pharmacies
