There are many forms of contraceptives available. As every woman is unique, there is no “one size fits all” when it comes to contraception.
Women have many reasons for seeking contraception. Contraception allows women to choose when to have a baby. Responsible contraceptive practices also help to reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies and abortions. The final decision depends on the stage of the couple’s reproductive cycle, medical factors, costs of contraceptives, whether they want permanent or temporary/reversible contraception, socio-economic factors and religious factors.
