What are the Effective Contraceptive Methods for Adolescents?
Several contraceptive methods are effective for adolescents, including:
1. Condoms: They are easily accessible and protect against both pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). 2. Oral Contraceptive Pills: These are taken daily and are effective when used consistently. 3. Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptives (LARCs): Methods such as intrauterine devices (IUDs) and implants are highly effective and require minimal maintenance. 4. Emergency Contraception: Available for use after unprotected sex to prevent pregnancy.
