Preventing unwanted pregnancies is a central and responsible part of women's medicine. For many women, contraception means more than just protection against pregnancy - it is an important factor for self-determination, quality of life and health. Contraceptive methods should not only be safe and effective, but should also suit a woman's individual needs, lifestyle and personal wishes.
Nowadays, there are a variety of modern and proven contraceptive methods available, which differ in terms of their effectiveness, handling and safety. The aim is to find a contraceptive solution that provides effective protection, causes as few side effects as possible, can be easily integrated into everyday life and offers a good cost-benefit ratio. The woman's age plays just as much a role as her health situation, whether she already wants to have children or whether there are risks to be considered.
Proven methods include hormonal contraceptives such as the contraceptive pill, the contraceptive ring, the contraceptive patch or long-acting hormonal systems such as the hormonal coil and the hormonal implant. These methods regulate the female cycle and prevent fertilization through various mechanisms of action. There is also the copper IUD, a hormone-free alternative that prevents pregnancy through a local inflammatory reaction in the uterus. Barrier methods such as the condom provide additional protection against sexually transmitted diseases and can be used in combination with other methods.
Another option is natural family planning methods, in which the female cycle is closely monitored and fertile days are determined. However, these require discipline and experience and do not offer the same level of protection as other methods. For women who no longer wish to have children, permanent solutions such as sterilization can be considered.
