beliefs about the different methods of contraception can lead to in the wrong way use. An expert explains 10 Myths about.
Knowing how to use contraceptives is vital. The site tusemanario.com quotes one publication published in cosmohispano.com, where Dr. Carmen Hall, a member of The Doctors.es, responds to all of those false myths that can be heard about different contraceptives and can lead to misuse them.
1. Condoms break easily.
Not true. Dr. Carmen Hall that "the pharmaceutical industry currently produces condoms under an best quality control of which makes it extremely difficult to rupture with proper use." That it also reminds us which is very important to keep them in proper temperature and humidity, and not use lubricating substances that can damage them.
2. Anti -conceptive pills increase the hair, and make you fat.
"With the current preparations and dosages ever lower, is extraordinarily rare to appear this sort of side effects," says Hall. In fact, the view that is often quite the opposite.
3. It is sufficient to use a condom at the time of ejaculation.
According to Dr. Hall, "this is one of the main systems of condom failure, since before ejaculation sperm leaks that can cause pregnancy." Furthermore, the doctor reminds us, "Male cannot always control which will be the right time to ejaculation".
4. At first we cannot get pregnant.
Not true, as it will depend on the timing of the menstrual cycle in which you are and if it is fertile or not.
5. If we take the pill, you need to rest every 3, 6 or 12 months.
This happened with the old formulations with very high doses and hormones less reliable. The doctor says, "Today, resting only is done if the woman wishes if you want to become pregnant or if for medical reasons was indicated".
6. To prevent sexually transmitted diseases, it is sufficient to use a condom just in ejaculation.

7. The D.I.U. (intrauterine device) causes sterility.
In itself, the D.I.U. is a reversible contraceptive method. "It could lead to infertility if it be associated with a pelvic infection or endometritis, in which case it would be the cause," says Chambers, "the occurrence of these complications is associated with women's sexual practices, the number of partners, and the development of sexually transmitted diseases, rather than the IUD itself. "
8. Birth control pills can cause cancer.
Dr. Carmen Hall states that "all studies point in the opposite direction, emphasizing the lower rates of ovarian cancer, endometrial or colon" in pill users. In fact, says Sala, "the relationship between the pill and cervical cancer, increasingly loses strength, especially since he knows his absolute dependence of the necessary infection of HPV, and the association with cancer breast, is losing steam, with new low-dose, and the new preparations ".
9. The "method of counting the days" is very safe to prevent pregnancy.
It's not right. Carmen Salas says "system can be a medium / high efficiency, if associated with other detection systems the time of ovulation (as the study of mucus or your basal temperature) and with the menstrual cycle can vary greatly in duration ".
10. It is easy for D.I.U. can perforate the uterus.
