Birth control

Birth control, also called as contraception and fertility control, this is a device which is used to prevent pregnancy. Birth control has been used since ancient times, but effective and safe methods of birth control only became available in the 20th century. Planning, making available and using birth control is called as family planning. Some cultures discourage access to birth control because they consider it to be religiously and morally. The most effective methods of birth control are sterilization by means of vasectomy in males and tubal ligation in females, intrauterine devices, and implantable birth control. This is followed by a number of hormone-based methods including patches, oral pills, injections and vaginal rings. Less effective methods include physical barriers such as condoms, diaphragms and birth control sponges and fertility awareness methods. The least effective methods are spermicides and withdrawal by the male before ejaculation. Sterilization, while highly effective, is not usually reversible; all other methods are reversible, most immediately upon stopping them.
