Contraception

They are usually taken regularly in pill form (see Oral contraceptive pills), but can also be used as adhesive patches on the surface of the skin impregnated with these hormones; The woman may also receive injections of a long-acting progestogen hormone over a period of two or three months. Recently, methods of long-term hormonal contraception have appeared, when the progestogen is administered in the form of a subcutaneous implant (for example, Norplant) or is present in vaginal rings - these agents last up to three months.

Methods to prevent fertilization of an egg include interrupted coitus, condom use, diaphragm use, and surgery (tubal ligation and vasectomy; see Sterilization).

Methods to prevent implantation of a fertilized egg into the uterus include the use of intrauterine contraceptive devices; they can be used immediately after sexual intercourse, but before implantation has occurred (see Postcoital contraception).

Couples who, for religious reasons, have a negative attitude towards the use of mechanical or hormonal contraceptives can use the physiological method, when sexual intercourse is limited only to those days of the menstrual cycle when the likelihood of fertilization of the egg is minimal.
