Types of contraceptive

According to the current information, the types of contraceptive split between the hormonal ones, those of barrier and the natives.

Contraceptive patches

The patch is a type of contraceptive hormonal - just as the birth-control pills with estrogen and progesterone. It inhibits the ovulation, for which there is no possibility of fertilization. The difference, the fact is that it is not administered by mouth, if not that is absorbed across the skin. An adhesive patch is a color skin, of 5x5 centimeters of diameter. It is placed in diverse parts of the body: back, low part of the abdomen, thigh, glúteo, arm. It is advisable to be rotating the application place in every week. The packing comes with 3 patches that change into weekly form. They do not leave with the water, if that the woman can bathe without problems. After 3 weeks, one week is rested.

 This method, it is not indicated for women that they weigh any more than 90 kilos. In the same way, this type of contraceptive is useful for the women who have gastric intolerance, and also for the forgetful ones, which can forget to take one day the tablet.

Liberating hormones DIU:

The liberating hormones intrauterine device is a type of contraceptive compound: on the one hand it is of barrier and on the other hand it is contraceptive chemically or hormonal. This device is provided with a reservoir that it is liberating to a constant rhythm, progesterone (levonorgestrel), during all the time that the device is inside the womb. It has double contraceptive action: the one that the conventional DIU already gives, joined the contraceptive action that gives the progesterone.

The physical characteristics are equal to those of the conventional DIU, a plastic T, and in whose vertical branch is the reservoir with the hormone that is acting on the endometrio, making it thinner. This provokes that the menstruations are scarce, or in many cases, I came to the amenorrea (lacking in menstruation). In spite of this, this DIU does not interfere by no means with the hormonal menstrual cycle, and the woman keeps on ovulating as of custom, since the hormone only acts locally.

It must be placed by a gynecologist during the menstruation, by vaginal route. An antibiotic of preventive form is indicated. If it is placed after a normal childbearing, it is necessary to wait 45 days, and if the childbearing was for Cesarean section, it is necessary to hope 3 months. It lasts 5 years and it is a type of contraceptive reversible: as soon as it moves back, the woman has menstruations again as earlier, recovering his aptitude to conceive.

His efficacy is superior to that of the conventional, and equal DIU to that of the birth-control pills: bigger than 99 %.
His use is indicated in women who have already had children, perimenopáusicas, in those that have very abundant menstruations, which suffer anemia, and even in the women who endure menstrual very strong pains. This type of contraceptive is contra-indicated in women who still have no had children (nulípara).

The new types of contraceptive:

There are always new types of contraceptive that develop from investigations that have a thing in common: the scientists warned that "the" ideal type does not exist of contraceptive. The new types that we are still going to see have not come to Argentina for example, although they exist already in other countries.

The contraceptive ring:

It is a flexible ring that, once placed inside the vagina it liberates in constant form contraceptive hormones. It is so effective as the tablets. An advantage is that the woman places it and alone it is she who withdraws. It leaves it to itself for 3 weeks, moves back, and there is rested one week, in which the menstruation will appear. Once it stops, another ring is placed. It is a good option for the forgetful ones, since it is placed only once a month.

The contraceptive implant:

It is a device that is implanted of surgical form, under the skin of the arm.
It liberates only progesterone, does not contain estrogen. It has a duration of 3 years.
