Prevention is better than cure! Why you should learn about contraception today
Why is learning about contraception important?
Although many people might think “I’m not ready for sexual activity, so I don’t need to know about contraception”, the truth is that understanding pregnancy prevention is important for everyone, whether teenagers or adults. It helps in making informed decisions and prepares you to take responsibility for your body and future.
Misunderstandings about contraception that increase the risk of unplanned pregnancy
Many people have misconceptions about contraception, such as using “withdrawal” or “safe days counting”, which cannot prevent pregnancy 100% and may lead to unexpected pregnancies. Therefore, knowing the correct prevention methods, such as condoms, birth control pills, implants, or IUDs, can effectively reduce the risk.
The benefits of learning about sexual health
Besides preventing pregnancy, learning about sexual health also boosts your confidence and helps you take better care of your health. Choosing a contraception method that suits your lifestyle not only helps prevent unplanned pregnancies but also protects against sexually transmitted infections such as HIV, gonorrhea, and syphilis.
How to discuss contraception with your partner
Having an open conversation with your partner about contraception is important to ensure both parties have a mutual understanding and choose the safest method. You can start by researching suitable contraception methods, discussing concerns, and agreeing on which method to use.
