Any device used to intentionally prevent pregnancy is called a contraceptive device. Contraception is a way of doing so. Apart from its principal function of preventing unwanted pregnancies, the contraceptive device also aids in safeguarding against sexually transmitted infections (STDs) during sexual activity. There are two different kinds of contraceptive devices: hormonal and barrier contraceptive.
The way barrier contraceptive methods work is by physically blocking sperm from entering the uterus of a woman. This category includes spermicides such foams, creams, and suppositories, as well as a variety of contraceptive devices like condoms, diaphragms, cervical caps, contraceptive sponges, and gels. Contrarily, hormonal contraceptive methods use either progestin alone or in combination with oestrogen. These methods mostly work to stop conception by blocking ovulation, or the release of eggs from the ovaries, or by thickening cervical mucus, which blocks sperm from passing through the cervix and into the uterus. This category includes treatments such as skin patches, injections, vaginal rings, implants, and intrauterine devices (IUDs).
Because they may consistently and appropriately prevent unwanted births, contraceptive methods have become more and more popular over time. In addition, the increasing acceptance and popularity of contraceptive methods in various societies and cultures can be attributed to a number of factors, including gender equity, empowerment, health benefits, STD prevention, education and awareness, and economic considerations. These factors enable people to exercise their right to plan their families and live healthier lives.
