Contraception Myths in Guatemala
10
    If a woman
becomes pregnant
  while using an
IUD, the baby will
 be born with the
  IUD stuck in its
        head.
9
     Using
 contraception
makes a woman
weak and unable
to contribute to
   household
responsibilities.
8
  A vasectomy is
   performed by
   removing the
man’s testicles. The
 operation makes
him less masculine,
causes him to lose
 his sex drive, and
makes him unable
   to achieve an
      erection.
7
Hormonal methods
  of birth control
lead to weight gain
because they often
   cause missed
  periods, and the
    blood that is
  usually expelled
       during
  menstruation is
 stored elsewhere
    in the body.
6
 The copper in the
IUD rusts inside the
  woman’s uterus.
  This can lead to
sterility and cancer.
5
 Instead of being
  digested, birth
   control pills
 accumulate in a
woman’s stomach
and cause cancer.
4
Sex with a condom
 prevents the man
    from feeling
      pleasure.
3
 Contraceptives
lead to death of
    the user.
2
  Birth control
 doesn’t prevent
  pregnancy, it
causes abortions.
1
  Contraceptives
  lead to women
       having
uncontrolled sexual
   desires. Only
 women interested
in extramarital sex
    want to use
  contraceptives.
You can help Guatemalan women know the
        truth about contraception.

  If you want to help WINGS educate more
 women about the real benefits and risks of
contraceptive methods, please donate today.
