“Misconceptions That Put You at Risk of Pregnancy!”
Many people may have heard of pregnancy prevention methods that sound credible but are actually ineffective. Let’s see what the misconceptions are and why you shouldn’t take the risk!
1. Is withdrawal safe?
- Truth: This method is not 100% effective because sperm can escape before actual ejaculation, and if timing is not well-controlled, sperm may unintentionally enter the vagina.
2. Safe days counting = No pregnancy?
- Truth: Counting safe days has a high chance of error because menstrual cycles vary for each person, and ovulation may occur before or after the expected period.
3. Urinating or douching after intercourse helps prevent pregnancy?
- Truth: Sperm move quickly and can reach the uterus within seconds. Urinating or douching does not help and may cause vaginal irritation and increase the risk of infection.
4. Standing or jumping after intercourse can block sperm?
- Truth: Whether standing, walking, or jumping, gravity cannot stop sperm from entering the uterus.
5. Using two condoms provides better protection?
- Truth: Using two condoms together increases the risk of friction and breakage. It’s better to use one high-quality condom and water-based lubricant to reduce friction.
6. Can emergency contraceptive pills replace regular birth control pills?
- Truth: Emergency contraceptive pills are less effective than daily birth control pills and should not be used frequently as they may cause irregular menstrual cycles and do not protect against sexually transmitted infections.
Effective Prevention Methods
- Condoms – Prevent both pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections.
- Daily birth control pills – Take at the same time every day to significantly reduce the chance of pregnancy.
- IUDs, implants, or contraceptive injections – Suitable for those who want long-term birth control.
