ABSTRACT

Contraceptive methods play a crucial role in family planning and reproductive health, offering individuals and couples the ability to control fertility and prevent unintended pregnancies. This research article explores the various types of contraceptive methods available, including hormonal, barrier, intrauterine devices, permanent methods, and natural family planning. The study highlights the uses and effectiveness of each method, emphasizing their role in promoting reproductive autonomy, reducing maternal mortality, and improving public health outcomes. However, despite their benefits, contraceptive methods also present several disadvantages. Side effects, health risks, accessibility issues, and sociocultural barriers often limit their use, particularly in low-resource settings. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the advantages and challenges associated with different contraceptive methods, aiming to inform healthcare providers and policymakers in promoting safe and equitable access to contraception.
