    Oral Contraception

    Uploaded by

    Contraceptive Methods It should be very clear that most of the currently available, effective birth control methods are designed to be used by women. Moreover, each poses various problems, although any one of them is preferable to unprotected intercourse followed by an unintended pregnancy. Sometimes, even when a couple uses contraception regularly, an unwanted pregnancy may occur. This is even more likely if a couple uses birth control inconsistently or not at all. The prospective birth control user should consider the effectiveness and potential side effects of each method, as well as his or her own habits and preferences. Birth control effectiveness and risks depend on the lifestyle and medical history of the user, as well as on the likelihood that a method is employed during every act of coitus. For most women, the test risk of illness and death is associated with engaging in unprotected intercourse. In the absence of birth control, about 85 of every 100 sexually active women become pregnant within a year.
