My experience with birth control suppositories
I would like to share with you my experience with contraceptive suppositories, which is a method of family planning that relies on the use of vaginal suppositories that contain chemicals that kill sperm or disrupt their movement, which prevents the fertilization of the egg and thus prevents pregnancy.
I started using contraceptive suppositories on the advice of my doctor, after evaluating and discussing family planning options with him. It was important for me to choose a method that was safe, effective, and compatible with my lifestyle and health condition.
Contraceptive suppositories are easy to use, as they are inserted into the vagina shortly before intercourse. It is important to note that the effectiveness of these suppositories increases when used correctly and regularly, and sometimes the doctor may recommend using them with other contraceptive methods, such as condoms, to increase protection.
During my time using contraceptive suppositories, I found them to be an effective and convenient method that matches my lifestyle. It was easy to use and I didn't experience any major side effects. However, I always make sure to use it in the correct manner as directed by my doctor to ensure the highest levels of effectiveness.
Contraceptive suppositories are an effective and convenient method of family planning, providing privacy and ease of use. However, it is important to discuss all available options with your doctor and take into consideration your personal health condition and lifestyle before deciding to use them. As with any method of contraception, the use of contraceptive suppositories requires adherence and correct use to ensure the highest levels of effectiveness and avoid any potential risks.
Advantages of contraceptive suppositories
Vaginal suppositories contain active ingredients that fight sperm by forming a foamy layer that melts due to body heat.
This layer obstructs the passage of sperm through the cervix and affects them chemically, preventing them from reaching the egg to fertilize it. These properties give the suppositories the ability to efficiently prevent pregnancy.
One of its main ingredients is nonoxynol, which enhances its ability to prevent sperm motility and eliminate them.
These suppositories are a reliable option because they do not negatively affect the user's sexual or hormonal health, nor do they hinder the future fertility of men or women, nor do they cause menstrual disorders.
In addition, the suppositories do not require a prescription, can be used in the comfort of home, and are safe during breastfeeding. This method offers a greater advantage to women by being easily available in the market at reasonable prices.
How to use contraceptive suppositories
Contraceptive suppositories are used 10 to 15 minutes before sexual intercourse, to allow them to dissolve and form foam that enhances the protection of the cervix by creating a barrier that prevents sperm from crossing, and the spermicidal substance begins to work immediately. To use these suppositories effectively, it is recommended to follow the following steps:
1. Hands must be washed well to avoid transmitting any infection.
2. Adopt a squatting or lying position to facilitate insertion.
3. Open the wrapper and gently take the suppository.
4. Carefully push the suppository into the vagina until it approaches the cervix.
5. It is important not to wash the vagina for 6 hours after intercourse to ensure the effectiveness of the spermicide.
If suppositories are not used before sexual intercourse or are used incorrectly, it is considered necessary to resort to emergency contraception, such as emergency contraceptive pills, to reduce the possibility of unwanted pregnancy.
Disadvantages of contraceptive suppositories
Contraceptive suppositories face several challenges that may not make them the ideal choice for everyone, as they lack high effectiveness on their own compared to other contraceptive methods, which requires their use with additional methods to enhance safety.
The user must insert the suppository in the short period of time not exceeding twenty minutes before sexual intercourse, and its effectiveness is limited to only one hour after insertion. In the event of repeated intercourse, it is necessary to use a new suppository each time.
There are many potential complications, such as vaginal irritation that may occur if the suppositories are used many times in one day, which may increase the risk of sexual infection.
Some women may also experience allergic reactions when using suppositories containing Nonoxynol.
In addition, these suppositories do not provide protection against sexually transmitted diseases, which reduces their comprehensiveness as a comprehensive preventative method.
