Cervical mucus changes its properties and becomes viscous. Throughput is reduced to 0;
The contraction of the fallopian tubes decreases;
The structure of the endometrium changes. The walls of the uterus become loose and thin, due to which a fertilized cell cannot implant.

Alternative to pills for emergency contraception

If for some reason you cannot use the pill method of emergency contraception: the presence of contraindications, breastfeeding, you should immediately consult a specialist. The doctor often suggests alternative way: installation of an intrauterine device (IUD). Girls and women who breastfeed prefer this option. It is gentle and makes it possible to continue feeding the baby. In addition, the effect remains for subsequent times (up to 5 years).

It is important to contact the clinic as soon as possible. This must be done no later than 5 days after the legal act.

How does it work?

The spiral is made of plastic (first part) and copper (can be replaced with silver)/hormones (second part). The device itself is aimed at maintaining a small inflammatory process that prevents the cell from attaching after fertilization. At the same time, copper or a hormone creates conditions for the death of germ cells.

When should you not get an IUD?

Intrauterine devices should not be used:

girls under 18 years of age;
women who have not given birth;
in the presence of inflammatory processes of the genital organs;
for STIs and sexually transmitted diseases;
for cancer;
if there was at least one ectopic pregnancy in the anamnesis;
with heavy blood loss;
with spontaneous displacement of the intrauterine device earlier;
non-standard shape of the uterus;
with intolerance to a hormone or metal component.

Which drug should I choose?

First of all, the selection of the drug should be carried out by a doctor. Many factors are taken into account: age, hormonal background, diseases, presence of pregnancies in the past and present. If you compare drugs with mifepristone and levonorgestrel in terms of their sparing effect, you can obtain the following data:

	Mifepristone (usually 10 mg dosage)	Levonorgestrel (usually 1.5 mg dosage)
Pregnancy does not occur	in 98-99%	in 95% when taking the tablet on the first day (24 hours); in 85% (24-48 hours); at 58-60% in the last time period.
Time of use after NPA	72 hours	72 hours
Risks of developing an ectopic pregnancy	0,8%	1,6%
Changing your menstrual calendar	26%	43%
Number of respondents who noted painful sensations in the chest	8%	8%
Number of respondents who noted pain in the uterus and ovaries	14%	15%
Percentage of patients with bleeding	19%	31%
Age restrictions	Can be used in adolescence	Contraindicated under 16 years of age

Danger of using EC

Sometimes the harm is greater than the benefit. It is recommended to use such “fire” methods of preventing pregnancy as birth control pills after intercourse no more than 1-2 times a year. What can happen if you neglect the instructions, contraindications and frequency of use:

the risk of developing pregnancy outside the uterine cavity increases with each dose. Subsequently, the body’s adjustment to proper fertilization and attachment to in the right place eggs;
development of the diagnosis of infertility. Violation menstrual cycle, as well as the absence of menstruation, leads to the fact that women cannot become pregnant. Eggs are not produced or are rejected until the moment of conception;
the presence of uncontrolled bleeding. Women who have used EC incorrectly or often enough should remember that the risk of heavy and prolonged bleeding increases. In most cases, hemostatic drugs and curettage of the uterine cavity are used;
uncontrolled doses of hormones can develop diseases associated with thrombus formation, which leads to strokes and thromboembolism;
increased risk of developing Crohn's disease.

Birth control pills after intercourse - reviews

Methods of family planning include contraception, as it helps prevent the development of unwanted pregnancies and avoid abortions. Most of the currently known methods and means of protection were developed in the second half of the last century. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, but to one degree or another performs its function.

Contraception can be biological, barrier, chemical, implantation, hormonal and surgical. To assess its effectiveness, the Pearl index is used, reflecting the number of pregnant women out of 100 using contraception certain type. The indicator is displayed as a percentage.

Hormonal contraception is the most popular and effective way to prevent unplanned pregnancy.

It includes:

Combined drugs containing estrogen and progestin (Rigevidon, Tri-Regol, Marvelon, Femoden, etc.).
“Mini-pill” – drugs with progestin (Microlut, Exluton, etc.).

The action of these drugs is based on the following processes:

suppression of ovulation (the egg does not mature and is not released);
thickening of the mucus secreted into the cervix does not allow sperm to pass through;
a change in the mucous membrane of the uterus, as a result of which a fertilized egg is not able to attach to it;
decline motor activity sperm in the fallopian tubes.

Thus, various stages of pregnancy are blocked: from the maturation of the egg to its fertilization and attachment to the uterus. Thanks to this, the effectiveness of the method reaches 99.9%.

This strong effect drugs can cause a number of side effects. Nausea, vomiting, headaches, swelling, vaginal discharge, irritability, depression, acne, decrease sexual desire and weight gain.

Contraindications include the presence malignant neoplasms in the mammary glands and genitals, vascular diseases brain, venous thromboembolism, unrecognized acyclic vaginal bleeding, migraine, hereditary hyperlipidemia.

Among the advantages hormonal contraception its effectiveness comes first. In addition, these drugs have a number of positive effects: reduce the likelihood of ectopic attachment ovum, prevent the formation and spread of inflammatory processes in the genital organs, prevent the development of neoplasms, restore the menstrual cycle, and reduce pain during menstruation.

Hormonal drugs are convenient to use, they are available and presented in a wide range in most pharmacies. The possibility of conception is restored 2 months after stopping the pills.

Disadvantage hormonal method contraception is the presence of contraindications and side effects. Long-term use or an overdose may lead to malfunctions of cardio-vascular system, to an increased risk of developing hypertension, atherosclerotic changes, blockage of blood vessels.

The method is effective only when taking pills daily, so constant monitoring is necessary. In addition, do not forget that hormonal drugs do not protect against infections.

Condoms

Condoms are a male barrier method of contraception. The action is based on a physical obstacle to the penetration of sperm into the vagina. Efficiency this method when using a condom correctly - about 90%.

The advantages of using a condom include the absence of contraindications and side effects, protection against sexually transmitted diseases, the presence of additional lubricant, accessibility and “mobility” in use (does not require prior preparation, consultation with a doctor, adherence to a schedule, can be used at any time).

The downside is a decrease in sensitivity during sexual intercourse and the need to interrupt it to put on a condom. Moreover, in in rare cases latex causes an allergic reaction.

Intrauterine device

This intrauterine contraceptive It is a T-shaped device made of copper and plastic. The action of the spiral is based on inhibiting the movement of sperm into the uterus, reducing the viability of the egg and preventing its attachment to the uterine mucosa after fertilization. The effectiveness of the method is more than 95%.

The undoubted advantage of the intrauterine device is its ease of use: no additional actions are required from the woman; the gynecologist installs it in one visit. The spiral begins to “work” immediately after the installation procedure. Moreover, if a woman wants to get pregnant, she will not need to wait for some time as when taking hormonal drugs. The ability to conceive is restored immediately after the IUD is removed.

The intrauterine device is a reliable way to protect against unwanted pregnancy during breastfeeding. It does not affect milk production or its composition. It does not affect sexual activity and is not felt by the woman herself or her partner.

The disadvantages of the intrauterine device include:

the presence of contraindications (blood diseases, detection of precancerous processes in the cervix, neoplasms in the genital organs, a history of cervical injuries during childbirth);
Installation is not recommended for nulliparous women, as there is a risk of inflammation and subsequent infertility;
after the installation procedure – discomfort, possible appearance bloody discharge;
pregnancy occurs in 5-10% of cases, often ectopic;
The IUD does not protect against infections and, when infected, increases inflammatory processes;
The risk of developing inflammation due to injury to the walls of the uterus by the coil.
This method of contraception is most suitable for women who have given birth, including breastfeeding women, who have a regular partner.

Coitus interruptus

When intercourse is interrupted, the man removes the penis before ejaculation occurs. The effectiveness of such contraception in comparison with previously discussed methods is low, about 70%.

The advantages of interrupted sexual intercourse primarily include its absolute accessibility and the absence of monetary and time costs. Proponents of this method of contraception emphasize ease of use, the absence of contraindications and side effects, and the preservation of high sensitivity of the genital organs. Coitus interruptus is a way to help avoid getting pregnant without additional protection.

The main disadvantage is the high risk of developing an unplanned pregnancy: every 4 women become pregnant. In addition, the method does not protect against infections and contributes to the development of impotence in men, as the blood supply to the penis deteriorates. Women often do not achieve orgasm, and with prolonged practice of this method of contraception, they develop frigidity.

Other methods of contraception

Hormonal contraceptives, condoms, intrauterine device and interrupted sexual intercourse are the most common methods of preventing unwanted pregnancy.

The following options are less popular:

Female barrier methods: vaginal diaphragm, cervical cap, contraceptive sponge. All of them have the same advantages and disadvantages as condoms: effective, affordable, protect against sexually transmitted infections, but require certain manipulations before sexual intercourse. In addition, unlike condoms, female barrier methods There are contraindications (mainly gynecological diseases).
Chemical methods. Spermicides inactivate sperm and prevent them from entering the vagina. They are easy to use, provide a certain degree of protection against sexually transmitted infections, and can be used either independently or in combination with other methods. Disadvantages: no high degree protection against pregnancy (16 cases out of 100).
Biological methods(calendar, temperature, cervical, symptothermal). They are based on identifying the days of the cycle in which a woman’s fertility is increased and abstaining from sexual intercourse during these periods. Depending on the correct application of the methods, the effectiveness ranges from 60% (estimate cervical mucus) up to 99% (temperature detection). The absolute advantages include the harmlessness and accessibility of biological methods. They have no contraindications, side effects, and do not require material costs. The disadvantage is the laboriousness of measurements, the need to constantly monitor the characteristics of the body, accuracy in calculations is required when calendar method. The biological method does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases and is not always effective.
Sterilization (surgical method) is the most effective, but irreversible method of contraception. At correct implementation The procedure is 100% effective. Advantages: does not require constant monitoring, material costs, applies to natural methods. Disadvantages: contraception is irreversible, possible development postoperative complications, there are contraindications.

The active development of the pharmacological industry and scientific research has made it possible to create a whole range of protective agents. However, there are situations in which it is not possible to use them or they fail at the most crucial moment. And sometimes one of the partners is categorically against taking medications and using a condom.

Sometimes the use of contraceptives is impossible due to individual characteristics female body. It is in this case that the experience of our grandmothers and great-grandmothers in this area will become useful.

Known since ancient times, means of protection against unwanted pregnancy can be divided into several groups:

The use of decoctions and infusions of herbs and seeds;
Use of special water procedures;
Act interruption and cyclic method;
Use of chemicals.

In addition, they are divided into methods that are used before the start of the act and immediately after it. Each method has a certain effectiveness. However, if there are individual characteristics of the body, it may not bring the expected result.

Folk contraception can also be useful in such cases of unsafe sexual intercourse:

The condom broke;
The birth control pill was taken at the wrong time;
The process of the act was not interrupted before ejaculation;
Due to the woman's health, taking birth control pills is not permissible.

The effectiveness of traditional methods for preventing pregnancy

Various traditional methods Birth control has some effectiveness. It is worth remembering that none of them gives a 100% guarantee. In addition, no method protects against sexually transmitted diseases.

Effective folk methods

After weighing all the pros and cons, you can choose one of these methods:

Up to 50% effectiveness is achieved by douching with solutions containing lemon juice or vinegar. It is worth noting that frequent exposure to acidic environments on the inner mucous membrane of a woman can lead to serious problems and disrupt healthy microflora.
Inserting a piece of lemon into the vagina. This method of protection is based on the fact that sperm cannot live in an acidic environment. Efficiency this method up to 70%. However, we should not forget about the high risk of getting a burn to the vaginal mucosa from exposure. acidic environment.
Sometimes, instead of lemon solution or vinegar, it is recommended to use a weak solution of potassium permanganate. However, this disinfectant liquid has no effect on sperm. The only way to prevent pregnancy is that a strong stream of water can wash them out of the vagina. But certain “individuals” can stay and get to the desired goal. The effectiveness of this method of protection is 40%.
The effects of high temperature on male testicles. These are hot baths, heating pads and other devices whose purpose is to reduce sperm activity. The effectiveness of this method is about 70%.
Many couples actively practice interrupted intercourse. In this case, the man leaves the woman before ejaculation begins. This method requires constant self-control from the partner and significantly reduces pleasure. However it is different high efficiency- up to 85%.
Another widely used method of contraception is cyclic. It is believed that in the first 5 days after the end of menstruation and in the last 5 days before their onset, a woman cannot become pregnant. The method is effective, although it does not provide a 100% guarantee. There are cases when pregnancy occurs even during menstruation.

Immediately after giving birth, a woman begins her lactation period. There is a persistent myth that as long as the mother breastfeeds the child, pregnancy is impossible. The statement is not entirely true. In the first months, when the frequency of feedings is high, this method is quite effective (up to 95%). However, later, when the baby is introduced to complementary foods, protect against repeat pregnancy this way is not worth it. It loses its effectiveness and can lead to a new conception.

Useless folk methods

There are quite a few in various ways, which are supposedly able to prevent pregnancy. However, according to scientific evidence, their effectiveness is either extremely low or even zero.

Let's take a closer look at these methods:
