Contraception refers to the deliberate use of various methods to prevent pregnancy. There are many types of contraception available, including hormonal methods such as the pill, patch, and injection, as well as barrier methods such as condoms and diaphragms. Permanent methods like sterilization are also available. Choosing the right method of contraception depends on a person's individual needs and preferences. It is important to use contraception correctly and consistently to prevent unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections.
