Caused by infection with the protozoan parasite called Trichomonas vaginalis
Trichomoniasis

Methods of Contraception
Natural Birth Control Method
Artificial Birth Control Method
Contraceptive Sponge
Male Condom
Female Condom
Diaphragm
Cervical Cap
Pills
Patch (Transdermal patch)
Shot / Injection
Vaginal Ring
Implantable Rods
Intrauterine Device
Sterilization Implant
Surgical Sterilization
Emergency Contraception
In this method, only bodily changes are monitored in order to know when a female is fertile or infertile by keeping track of her menstrual cycle.
Natural Birth Control Method
It does not involve medicine or devices to prevent pregnancy. It can be done through abstinence, fertility awareness, lactational amenorrhea, and withdrawal.
Natural Birth Control Method
Any product, procedure or practice that uses artificial or unnatural means to prevent pregnancy. condoms and diaphragms hormonal methods such as the pill and IUDs, surgical sterilization( vasectomy )
Artificial Birth Control Method
It is a Polyurethane foam that is soft and resembles a disc,
laced with the spermicide nonoxynol-9 to kill sperms. The
sponge functions as a covering for the cervix. It is inserted,
loop side down inside the vagina before sexual intercourse.
Contraceptive Sponge
Common contraceptives used by men because it can be purchased from drugstores without prescriptions.
Male Condom
One of the few types of contraception that can be bought
over-the-counter at pharmacies and grocery stores.
*Known as internal condom which provides dual protection from
unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections
Female Condom
A soft silicon cap placed inside the vagina so that it
prevents the sperm from getting into the uterus.
Diaphragm
*Spermicide is put into the bowl of the diaphragm before
inserting it into the vagina so it covers the cervix.
*Doctor’s prescription needed
Diaphragm
Thimble-shaped latex cup, basically like a diaphragm but
smaller.
*Also needs to be used with a spermicide.
*Different articles highlight that it must remain in the vagina at
least 6 hours after intercourse, but it also has to be taken out
within 48 hours after.
Cervical Cap
one of the most popular forms of female contraception.
*Taking this will prevent one from getting pregnant especially
when doctor’s advice is strictly followed.
Pills
one of the most popular forms of female contraception.
*Taking this will prevent one from getting pregnant especially
when doctor’s advice is strictly followed.
Pills
Intake of the pill results in changes in the ___ brought by the combined effect of ___
uterus lining and cervical mucus
estrogen and progestin
A hormone releasing patch. It releases progestin and estrogen straight into the bloodstream
Patch (Transdermal patch)
Can be put on different parts of the body such as lower
abdomen, buttocks, outer arm, or upper body.
*It is suggested that the ___ must be replaced once every
three weeks.
Patch (Transdermal patch)
*hormone progestin is injected every three months in the
buttocks or arms in order to stop possible fertilization.
*Constant usage of this method may bring temporary bone
density loss but it can also be stopped once shots are not
taken.
Shot / Injection
Hormones progestin and estrogen are produced by the
thin and flexible vaginal ring.
*It is placed inside the vagina after it has been squeezed
between the thumb and index finger and worn for three
weeks
Vaginal Ring
Looks like matchsticks that are flexible placed under the
upper arm skin.
*Blocks fertilization by causing deviations in the uterus
lining and cervical mucus.
*Effectivity lasts for about five years.
Implantable Rods
- It can be kept inside the vagina for up to five or ten years respectively
Intrauterine Device
2 types of IUDs
Hormonal and Copper IUDs
progestin is produced in the uterus, blocking fertilization and causing uterus lining to thicken
Hormonal IUD
Copper wire coiled around the device produces an inflammatory reaction that is toxic to sperm and eggs
Copper IUD
The first non-surgical method of women sterilization.
*Done by placing into each fallopian tube a spring-like device
that is small enough to be threaded by a thin tube. In the
coiled part, scar tissues that take three months to form
prevents fertilization by blocking the fallopian tubes
Sterilization Implant
*Involves cutting, tying, or sealing the fallopian tubes in
women, in order to block the egg cells from travelling down to
the uterus.
*In men’s vasectomy, no sperm comes out during ejaculation.
After surgery, semen analysis can be done to be sure if
sperms are already gone
Surgical Sterilization
Also termed as “morning pill”
* It must be taken right away after having unprotected
intercourse within 3 days.
*It functions by preventing ovulation or blocking the sperm
from uniting with the egg
Emergency Contraception
