This may be surprising to some, but some people may not know a lot about birth control or STDs. “Condoms are the only type of birth control that protects against STDs. When used correctly, condoms are also fairly effective at protecting against pregnancy — but they're not as successful as hormonal methods like the Pill, patch, ring, IUD, or birth control shot” (Lancaster). In this essay I will be explaining the methods and the different types of birth control and STDs. I’ll also be touching on the

They both share the same meaning: the process of getting pregnant. Conception happens when a sperm penetrates on one of the female’s eggs. Then, at around day 14 of a 28 day cycle, the egg leaves the ovary, and it is surrounded by a protective layer of cells. The fallopian tube is lined with cilia, which helps move the egg towards the womb. This is called
For thousands of years, people have used various birth control methods to limit the number of children in their families. Birth control encompasses a wide range of devices along with rational and irrational methods that have been used in an attempt to prevent pregnancy. It has been and remains controversial. Today, birth control is an essential part of life. In fact, 99% American women of childbearing age report using some form of contraception at one time or another (NIBH). In his book, The Birth
Intrauterine Device The letters IUD stand for "intrauterine device." IUDs are small, "T-shaped" devices made of flexible plastic. A health care provider inserts an IUD into a woman's uterus to prevent pregnancy. There are two types of IUD available ParaGard and hormonal Mirena. The ParaGard IUD contains copper, its effective for 12 years. The hormonal IUD releases a small amount of progestin. There are two brands. Mirena is effective for five years. Skyla is slightly smaller and effective for three
The rapid advances in science and medicine since 1950, and especially the advances in computer technology since 1980, have revolutionized the way society functions. It is widely recognized that our society is making a transition from the industrial manufacturing age to an information age. In contrast, the U.S. Constitution and most of our common law was written when people lived in an agrarian economy prior to 1850. Law has been slow to adapt to the choices posed by technology. While I believe that

The vaginal sponge doesn’t contain hormones but does contain spermicide to prevent the sperm from reaching the egg. They can be used up to 24 hours even if sex has occurred several times. Just like diagrams and cervical caps, this needs to be used with a condom because it doesn’t protect against STD’s. The patch is
Chlamydia (STD) ľ Chlamydia trachoma is a sexually transmitted disease that is transmitted by direct contact through oral, vaginal and anal intercourse and is also transmitted to newborns through vaginal birth by an infected mother.

Infection of the urinary tract is a common problem, causing more than eight million office visits annually in the United States. UTI is the second most common infection that affects women.

In the instance of spermicide, sperms are deprived of a future by being killed. Due to having the sperms being killed, the ovum will remain unfertilized and prevented from having a future itself. The prevention of fertilization deprives the ovum of a future, using this logic

Another explanation is that the gut condom was invented by the English army doctor Colonel Quondam in around 1645 and that the word is a corruption of his name. We do not know who invented condoms, but we do know that they were in use. There is evidence of this in the writings of Marquis de Sade, Casanova and James Boswell. The latter, a Scottish lawyer and writer, protected himself against sexually transmitted
Urethritis is a condition that affects the urethra. The urethra is a tube that carries urine from the bladder so that it can be expelled from the body. In males semen also passes through this tube. This can cause the urethra to become irritated and inflamed. Pain with urination is the most common symptom of urethritis. The main cause of urethritis is normally an infection. It can usually be cured with antibiotics. It has been found that both males and females can develop urethritis. However, females

It is mind-blowing how little a woman has ownership over her own body. It is even more remarkable how, even in 2016, women still cannot freely enjoy being sexually active, like men, without shade being thrown at them. Jill Filipovic touches on these issues in her essay, Offensive Feminism: The Conservative Gender Norms that Perpetuates Rape Culture, and How Feminists Fight Back. Ms. Filipovic gives insight into how these perceptions help the rape culture in America stay alive. In this reflection

Birth control is one of the biggest debates in our society. There are many people who are against and many people that support the ideas of using birth control.
