Contraceptives bring to pregnancy

Host contraceptives pregnant women are more at risk than those who use a spiral. Such a conclusion was made by researchers from the University of Washington School of Medicine.

As is known, there is no method of contraception does not have an absolute guarantee, and a woman can get pregnant even after sterilization (in the case of an error of the surgeon). Scientists from America decided to find out what is the most popular means of protection is the least reliable. It was found that this   oral contraceptives That provide less protection than the helix.

Tablets takes on statistics, one in four sexually active woman of childbearing age. The spiral belongs to the much less popular method of contraception, however, with great validity. But the IUD, which can be set for up to 10 years, and a subcutaneous implant, which produces hormones for three years, is much more reliable oral contraceptives .

In many ways, this is due to the fact that women sometimes just forget to take a tablet, and once installed a spiral or implant do not depend on someone's forgetfulness. Particularly unreliable method of contraception pills are young women, but this group and selects oral contraceptives more often.

"We know that the subcutaneous implants and intrauterine devices have the smallest number of" puncture "- less than 1%, - says study author Dr. Brooke Winner. - But, for example, of all American women using contraception, the contraceptive method chooses only 5, 5%".

The study involved 7500 women exists between the ages of 14 to 45 years. The results are published in the journal New England Journal of Medicine.
