Q

Why is the withdrawal method not very effective as a contraceptive?

A

The withdrawal method has a high failure rate, with around 1 in 5 chances of failing. It requires significant attention and self-control from the male to withdraw in time, which is difficult to consistently achieve. Additionally, pre-ejaculate may contain sperm. Sperm from semen released on the vulva can also enter the female reproductive system.

Q

What are hormonal contraceptives, and how do they work?

A

Hormonal contraceptives are reversible birth control methods that prevent pregnancy but do not protect against STIs. They work by inhibiting ovulation, altering the endometrium, and changing the consistency of cervical mucus to reduce the chances of pregnancy. They must be taken regularly, regardless of sexual activity.
