Birth Control METHODS

Birth control

Birth control, also known as contraception, is designed to prevent pregnancy. Birth control methods may work in a number of different ways:

  • Preventing sperm from getting to the eggs. Types include condoms, diaphragms, cervical caps, and contraceptive sponges.

​

  • Keeping the woman's ovaries from releasing eggs that could be fertilized. Types include birth control pills, patches, shots, vaginal rings, and emergency contraceptive pills.

​

​

  • IUDs, devices which are implanted into the uterus. They can be kept in place for several years.

​

  • Sterilization, which permanently prevents a woman from getting pregnant or a man from being able to get a woman pregnant
