So when it comes to planning a family, it can be quite daunting to get your head around the different types of contraception that are out there. Luckily, we've put together a list of different methods, so you can understand what is involved and which one is likely to suit you best. Contraceptive implant Designed for women, an implant is a small, malleable rod which is inserted just under the skin in the arm. Gradually, it releases the progestogen hormone for up to three years. Progestogen is a similar chemical to the progesterone produced by ovaries during a woman's period. Contraceptive Injections Women can use contraceptive injections which last between 8 and 12 weeks. Noristerat prevents pregnancy for two months, whereas Depo-Provera lasts for 3 months. Both are particularly effective at preventing conception during their use. Combined Pill Commonly referred to as "The Pill", the combined pill contains chemicals which are similar to the naturally occurring estrogen and progesterone hormones which are produce in the ovaries. The pill works by preventing the ovaries from releasing an egg each month. Contraceptive Patch Similar to a nicotine patch, the contraceptive patch is placed on the skin and is left to release the hormones, which are similar to those found in the combined pill- estrogen and progestogen. Condom There are typically two types of condom, and chiefly the male version is used more widely. Both forms, however, are barrier methods- that is they stop the sperm from reaching the egg. A female condom is worn inside the vagina and acts as a lining. Diaphragms Designed for women and to be inserted inside the vagina, a diaphragm covers the cervix/entrance to the womb. In order for diaphragms to work properly, however, a spermicide should be used in conjunction, as this kills the sperm. Sterilisation Sterilisation can be performed on both men and women and is normally irreversible. It should therefore be pursued with caution and a full understanding of the implications. In female sterilisation (tubal occlusion), the fallopian tubes are cut and sealed, which prevents the egg from the ovaries travelling into the womb. In male sterilisation, the tube carrying the sperm from the testes is cut and sealed to prevent this from happening. Male sterilisation is also referred to as a vasectomy. We provide advice and support about male sterilisation in Surrey, in a discreet and comfortable setting. EasyPublish™ this article - publishers click here More articles by Alexander Mason
