INTRODUCTION
Republic Act No. 10354 on Responsible Parenthood and
Reproductive Health on December 18, 2012, commonly
known as the Reproductive Health (RH) Law, its
Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) were due to
come into effect on Easter Sunday, March 31, 2013.
However, oral arguments before the Supreme Court had
been set to begin on June 18, 2013, or six months since
the enactment by Congress.
• The law provides for the following among other things:
• Midwives for skilled birth attendance : The law mandates every city and
municipality to employ an adequate number of midwives and other skilled
attendants. Currently, only 57% of Filipino women give birth with the
assistance of a trained medical professional.
• Emergency obstetric care: Each province and city shall ensure the
establishment and operation of hospitals with adequate facilities and
qualified personnel that provide emergency obstetric care.
• Hospital-based family planning: The law requires family planning services
like ligation, vasectomy and intrauterine device (IUD) placement to be
available in all government hospitals.
• Contraceptives as essential medicines: Reproductive health products shall
be considered essential medicines and supplies and shall form part of the
National Drug Formulary. Their inclusion in the National Drug Formulary
will enable government to purchase contraceptives and not merely rely on
unpredictable donations.
• Reproductive health education: RH education shall be taught by
adequately trained teachers in an age-appropriate manner.
• Employers’ responsibilities: Employers shall respect the reproductive
health rights of all their workers. Women shall not be discriminated
against in the matter of hiring, regularization of employment status or
selection for retrenchment. Employers shall provide free reproductive
health services and education to workers.
• Capability building of community-based volunteer
workers: Community-based workers shall undergo additional and
updated training on the delivery of reproductive health care services
and shall receive not less than 10% increase in honoraria upon
successful completion of training.
This presentation aims to:
1. Know the meaning and purpose of contraceptive measures.
2. Understand the kinds of contraceptive methods and its benefits.
3. Help us avoid early pregnancy and other sickness that can be
transmitted sexually.
CONTRACEPTION
• The prevention of pregnancy of one of a number of methods.
• The common purpose of the contraceptives is to prevent the male
sperm from fertilizing the female egg or to keep the egg from
implanting in the uterus
• Married couples are the most likely to use contraception as compared
to unmarried couples.
Barrier Methods
• Spermicides
• Condom
• Female condom
• Diaphragm
• Cervical cap
• Contraceptive sponge
1.Spermicide/Contraceptive foam
• Foam inserted into the vagina destroying sperm and blocka fluids
from entering the cervix
• Buy over the counter and can be put in up to 20 minutes before
intercourse
• Can be irritating, messy and no protection against STDs
• 85-94 % effective
Spermicide foam
• Cream, gel, foam, film and suppositories
• Contain nonoxynol-9, a chemical that kills sperm
• Can be used alone but are more effective when used with another
method of birth control such as condom or diagphram
• 74% effective
Condom- male and female condom
• Latex/ natural/plastic membranes sheath which holds ejaculated
fluids
• Protects against pregnancies and STDs
• Inexpensive
• Does not protect to all STDs, holes can produce, must pull out right
after ejaculation
• 87-97% effective
2.Male condom
• Thin rubber or latex
• Can break or slip off
• One-time use
• 86-90% effective
3. Female condom
• Thin plastic sheath inserted into the vagina
• No prescription needed, can be put in hours before intercourse
• Can be hard to use, expensive, and difficult to find at most stores
• One time use
• Can break
• Incorrect use decreases effectiveness
• 79-95% effective
4. Diagphram
• Rubber disc inserted into the vagina to block sperm from getting into
the cervix
• Inserted prior to the intercourse, no mess
• Requires seeing a doctor
• It can tear and increases risk of infections for females
• 86-94% effective
5. Cervical cap
• Dome-shaped latex stretch
over a flexible ring inserted
into the vagina
• Must be fitted by health
professions
• Increase risk of bladder or
urinary infections
 6. Contraceptive sponge

• Soft, disposal foam sponge containg spermicide inserted into vagina

and covers cervix
• Inexpensive and can be used up to 30 hours
• Can be difficult to insert and remove, must be left in for 6 hours after
intercourse
• No p[rotection against STDs
• 84-89% effective
Other methods
• IUD
• NATURAL FAMILY PLANNING
• STERILIZATION
• ABSTINENCE
7. INTRA UTERINE DEVICE (IUD)

• The IUD is a type of long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) that

goes in your uterus.
• More than 99% effective
• Works for up to 10 years
• ‘Fit and forget’ contraception – you don’t need to do anything
• There are two types: one with hormones, one without hormones
• Your period might change. There might be more or less bleeding
8.Natural family planning (NFP)

• Natural family planning (NFP) is a form of pregnancy planning. It

does not involve medicine or devices. NFP helps people know when
to have sexual intercourse. It can be used if you are trying to achieve
or avoid pregnancy. It involves keeping track of a woman's bodily
changes throughout her menstrual cycle
9. STERILIZATION

• Sterilization is a procedure that closes or blocks your fallopian tubes

so you can’t get pregnant. (Your tubes are where eggs and sperm
meet. If they can’t meet, they can’t hook up.) Guys also have a
sterilization option—a vasectomy blocks the tubes that carry a man’s
sperm. It’s even safer and more effective than female sterilization.
Talk to a health care provider to learn more and be sure to ask about
state and federal requirements, like age restrictions and waiting
periods.
10. ABSTINENCE– NO SEXUAL CONTACT OF
ANY TYPE OUTSIDE MARRIAGE
• 100% effective
• No pregnancy scares
• No STDs scares
INEFFECTIVE METHOD
• WITHDRAWAL METHOD
- withdrawal method of contraception, also known as coitus
interrupts, is the practice of withdrawing the penis from the vagina
and away from a woman's external genitals before ejaculation to
prevent pregnancy. The goal of the withdrawal method is to prevent
sperm from entering the vagina
- 81-96% EFFECTIVE
