Contraceptives for woman

According to a leading family planning agency,

 

“The Irish Family Planning Association (IFPA) has seen an increase in women using withdrawal as their only method of contraception, which is concerning,” 

 

It is not a reliable method and still carries a high pregnancy risk as well as not offering protection against sexually transmitted diseases.

 

Then these women often seek emergency contraceptive treatment when this method fails. Statistics show that in every 100 women practising the withdrawal method, 4 of them will become pregnant. Thos who use the method but incorrectly show statistics of 27 pregnancies out of every 100.

 

“On a daily basis in our medical clinics, we see how the high cost of contraception along with the continuing economic recession has adversely impacted women’s choices about their contraception,” The Agency went on to say.

 

In Ireland, condoms can cost as much as €1 each, meaning that if you dont have €1 for every time you want to have sex, you may be forced to use unsafe contraceptive methods. Out of 16 European countries, Ireland figures 6th in an IPPF study on women's access to contraception including Germany, Spain and Sweden.
