About Birth Control

Birth control is a comprehensive term that applies to a variety of pregnancy prevention medications and products. Preventing a pregnancy can be done through methods that apply to females and to males. Women can take hormones in pill format, an injection or through a time-released IUD. Women can also use a barrier-method such as a sponge, diaphragm or female condom. Male products focus on the barrier method through condoms, but may also be available through spermicides.[2]

While some products like condoms are easily available for over-the-counter purchases in multiple retail locations, some products such as the birth control pill require a doctor's prescription. Birth control methods have varying degrees of effectiveness. The most dependable forms of birth control, which are over 99% effective, include vasectomy, IUDs and implants. The next level, with 91 to 98% effectiveness, include pills, shots, rings and patches. Condoms and diaphragms are less effective, with 15 to 24 of every 100 women getting pregnant using these methods.[3]
