Abstract

Contraception, despite being a daily practice, is a practice that is done with low knowledge of the subject, and that results in many unwanted pregnancies. Although the advice of family planning, and the delivery of various contraceptive methods is free in our country, there is a large percentage of people who are not aware of this. There are many kinds of contraceptive methods, and for better study they are divided into two major groups: hormonal and non-hormonal. In the non-hormonal group we have natural methods (rhythm, temperature, and cervical mucus), barrier methods (condoms, spermicides, diaphragms, and copper T) and surgical methods (tubal ligation and vasectomy). In hormonal we have oral, injectable, subdermal, and intrauterine contraceptives.
