WHAT DOES CONTRACEPTIVE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

contraceptive

Birth control

Birth control, also known as contraception and fertility control, are methods or devices used to prevent pregnancy.[1] Planning, provision and use of birth control is called family planning.[2][3] Safe sex, such as the use of male or female condoms, can also help prevent sexually transmitted infections.[4][5] Birth control methods have been used since ancient times, but effective and safe methods only became available in the 20th century.[6] Some cultures limit or discourage access to birth control because they consider it to be morally or politically undesirable.[6] The most effective methods of birth control are sterilization by means of vasectomy in males and tubal ligation in females, intrauterine devices and implantable contraceptives. This is followed by a number of hormonal contraceptives including oral pills, patches, vaginal rings, and injections. Less effective methods include barriers such as condoms, diaphragms and contraceptive sponge and fertility awareness methods. The least effective methods are spermicides and withdrawal by the male before ejaculation.
