3. WHY CONTRACEPTION IS
IMPORTANT?
Contraceptives may be the most important
thing for teenagers to prevent pregnancy.
Many contraceptives can also help prevent
certain Sexually transmitted diseases.
Some contraceptives are rather cheap, some not
so much. However something as serious as
pregnancy should not be taken lightly, so make
sure to purchase up to date products even if
money is tight. Always make sure to protect you
and your partner from both pregnancy and
disease.
Teenagers are often confused or ill informed
about contraceptive. This demonstration will
serve as a gateway for teenagers 13-21 to
better understand the various forms of
contraceptive.
4. BARRIER
*Barrier contraception are designed to prevent male sperm from reaching the
female egg. If the sperm is blocked of from its objective than that will prevent
pregnancy from occurring. Here are some popular types of barrier
contraceptive.
•Condoms
•This rubber pouch is placed around the penis of the male catching the sperm
and preventing it from entering the vagina. It is also a good combatant for
STI’S
•Female Condoms
•This contraception is placed inside the vagina with a closed end that also
prevents the sperm from attaching. This also protects against STI’s
•Diaphragm: This contraception also is a barrier that prevents sperm from
entering the womb. It has a cuplike appearance and in some cases can last
longer than the latter two. Unfortunately these are not protective against
STI’s.
5. LONG ACTING REVERSIBLE
CONTRACEPTION*(LARC) is a contraception that
does not need to be taken
over and over, rather it is a
long lasting method that has
proven to be highly effective
against pregnancy.
*Contraceptive implant: A
small rod that is inserted into
the arm releasing a hormone
progestogen. This in turn
prevents ovulation, thinning
the line of the uterus and
stopping the sperm.
*This type of contraception is
used for those who are active
in their sex lives and are
looking for a highly combative
prevention
6. HORMONAL CONTRACEPTIVES
*Hormonal contraceptives are a method
of birth control that makes changes to
the body in order to prevent pregnancy.
*Contraceptive pill:
-This is a form of contraceptive that is
taken orally each day. It pushes added
hormones such as estrogen into the body
which prevent pregnancy from occurring.
*Vaginal Ring:
-This ring is placed inside the vagina for
about 21 days, releasing the hormones
that prevent pregnancy. It is then
removed during the period week and
replaced by a new ring.
7. EMERGENCY CONTRACEPTION
Emergency Pill!
Used after unprotected
intercourse to prevent
ovulation and kill the
sperm before it attaches.
This form of
contraception is rather
pricey but can be a
helpful tool when in a
pinch.
8. STERILIZATION
Sterilization is a permanent birth control method
that prevents both male and female from having
children.
Vasectomy:
This is a surgical procedure for males that prevents
the sperm from reaching the urethra by cutting or
blocking the vas deferens.
Tubal Ligation:
A surgical procedure that cut or ties the fallopian
tubes.
This is a very serious type of birth control that
should not be taken without serious thought.
9. CONCLUSION
Contraceptives are a healthy way to prevent
active teenagers and adults from becoming
unintentionally pregnant. They also can be a
way to prevent STD’s from occurring.
Understanding the options of safe sex is the
best way to prevent un planned events from
occurring.
If abstinence is not an option be sure to ask
a doctor, teacher, or parent if there is more
information missing and be safe.
