How to prevent pregnancy Ask Pinky Promise
While some methods are available without a prescription, the majority of them require one.
Here is a list of methods that can be used to prevent pregnancy
Introduction
You can prevent pregnancy by using a number of contraceptive methods available to do so.
Each method of birth control comes with its advantages and disadvantages. The only method of birth control that can protect you from both pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is the condom. So if you want to prevent both, you might wish to use one.
Withdrawal method or Pull Out method
The "pull-out" method, in which a penis owner withdraws the penis (aka pulls out) right before orgasm, is one of the earliest methods of birth control. However, this is also the least reliable method of birth control, with a failure rate of more than 20%, meaning that one in five people who use it become pregnant within a year!
Long-acting reversible contraceptives, such as the contraceptive injection, contraceptive implant, intrauterine system, and intrauterine device (IUD), are the most effective methods of preventing Aspregnancy.thename denotes, intrauterine devices (IUDs) are worn inside the uterus. IUDs require a doctor's appointment to be inserted in a relatively short procedure. They can be retained inside your body for up to 10 years after being placed. The Copper-T IUD is the most often used. Another is the IUS (Intrauterine system), which releases a small amount of hormone to the ovaries from inside the uterus to prevent pregnancy. The contraceptive implant acts in a similar way to prevent conception. All of these are 99% effective at preventing pregnancy.

Using pregnancycorrectlycondomstoprevent
As previously stated, condoms are the only method of birth control that protects against both pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). There are two types of condoms: male condoms that are worn on the penis, and female condoms that are inserted into the Malevagina.2condoms are typically made of latex, although those who are allergic to latex can choose from different options available. Make sure any lubricant you use is appropriate for the type of condom being used. Latex condoms, for example, can only be used with waterbased lubricant. Male condoms are available without a prescription, overthe-counter (OTC), or even online. Latex-free condoms can also be purchased online. Female condoms can also be purchased without a prescription.
Sterilisation
To permanently lower their fertility, both men and women can have sterilization procedures done. The NHS claims that while these procedures normally have a success rate of over 99% in preventing pregnancy, they do not protect you from getting an STI.
Men can get a vasectomy, which includes snipping the tubes that carry sperm. It is a small procedure for which no hospitalisation is required. It is possible to reverse a vasectomy in certain cases. However, with reversal, fertility is not always entirely recovered. Tubal ligation is a sterilisation procedure available for women. The fallopian tubes are clamped or sealed during this procedure. Usually, the effects are longlasting and permanent. In rare situations, the tubes might rejoin and cause pregnancy.
Get a routine pap smear and HPV vaccine:
One of the most prevalent STDs among women, according to the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is HPV. Cervical cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related deaths in women and is primarily caused by HPV. Despite this, practically everyone who engages in sexual activity is at risk of contracting HPV at least once in their lives. Therefore, it's crucial to receive an HPV vaccination before engaging in sexual activity. The HPV vaccine should be taken as early as 11 years for boys and 12 years for girls. Additionally, after the age of 21, it's always a good idea to get regular Pap tests! 1
