Condoms or pills…what is the best way to avoid unwanted pregnancy?

Which is more effective in preventing unwanted pregnancy, condoms or contraceptive pills? This question is often asked by common people to doctors. We will tell you about both in detail one by one. Before using a condom, always keep one thing in mind that which method you are using. When used correctly, male condoms are 98% effective, and female condoms are 95% effective. However, normal use for male condoms is around 87% effective, and the condom may burst, leak or slip.

Apart from being a contraceptive, condoms also protect against these diseases

Condoms are the only method of contraception but they are used to prevent serious diseases such as sexually transmitted infections (STIs) or AIDS. You can increase the effectiveness of condoms by using them with another method of contraception such as a spermicide, the pill or a diaphragm.

Birth control pills: When used correctly, hormonal contraceptives such as the pill can be up to 99% effective, but actual effectiveness is closer to 91%. This means that about 7 out of 100 people who take the pill will become pregnant each year. You can reduce your risk of an unplanned pregnancy by using the pill with a condom.

Birth control pills can be effective in preventing pregnancy. But if you stop taking the pills, then it is not an effective method. Condoms can also be an effective method of contraception. But forgetting to use it or not using it correctly is not an effective way to prevent pregnancy.
