Contraception Methods Overview

Contraception methods can be natural or artificial. Natural methods include rhythmic and coitus interrupts which have low effectiveness. Artificial methods include barrier methods like condoms and diaphragms and hormonal methods like pills, IUDs, sterilization and abortion. Effectiveness and side effects vary by method, with sterilization being most effective but also potentially causing psychological effects in some.
