CONTRACEPTIVE METHODS IN FEMALES 1. Spacing methods 2. Terminal methods 3. Pregnancy vaccines
SPACING METHODS 1. Rhythm Methods. 2. Barrier Methods. 3. Chemical Methods. 4. Intrauterine contraceptive devices.
RHYTHM METHODS. 1. Calender method / safe period method / natural method. -Depend on time of ovulation. 2.Dangerous period ovulation occurs on 14 day & ovum viable for 48-72 hrs & sperm remain alive for 24-48 hrs. so pregnancy occurs if coitus occur in this period
3.Safe period rest of cycle i.e. 5-6 days after mensturation & 5-6 days before next cycle. Advantage most natural Disadvantage most unreliable when cycle are irregular & ovulation time is variable
BARRIER METHODS Flexible rim made up of spring. 1.MECHANICAL . a. Diaphargm. Cup shaped synthetic rubber or plastic. Inserted into vagina over the cervix. b.Cervical caps: Smaller than Diaphargm, Applied on cervix itself.
MECHANICAL Advantages. Inexpensive. Do not require medical consultation. Disadvantages. Demonstration by trained person needed for proper use. Failure most common due to displacement of device. Cervicitis ( inflammation of cervix) & local irritation.
CHEMICAL 1.Spermicidal agents. destroy sperms. Ricinoleicacid Nanoxynol-9. Octoxynol-3.
