In the past, people's thinking was relatively feudal and backward, and there were few unmarried pregnancies, but now people's concepts have been relatively open, and the phenomenon of unmarried pregnancies has become very common.
However, to a certain extent, this also reflects that young people's awareness of contraception is relatively weak, and contraceptive measures are not well implemented.
In fact, different regions and countries have different measures for contraception.
There is a contraceptive method that is very popular abroad, and can achieve the effect and purpose of "once and for all", but it is rarely used in China.
So, what exactly does this form of contraception look like? Why is it not popular in the mainland?
1. Commonly used contraceptive methods
While pregnancy is a cause for most people to celebrate, for couples who have no plans to get married or don't want children, it's definitely not expected good news, but a big thorny issue to solve.
For this reason, they often have to go to the hospital for an abortion.
Of course, miscarriage is not just a matter of spending money, but can cause great harm to the woman's body.
There are many women who have a miscarriage because of their health, and it will be very difficult to conceive in the future.
Even later in life, I could never get pregnant and be a mother.
Compared to some of the physical injuries, the pain of not being able to conceive is obviously greater. Therefore, abortion surgery should be avoided if it is absolutely avoidable for women.
In order to prevent pregnancy, the choice of contraceptive measures is particularly important.
Generally speaking, contraceptive measures are often used for women in mainland China, as if it is easier for women.
For example, one of the more common forms of contraception is to choose to have intercourse during the woman's safe period.
The so-called safe period naturally refers to the date when it is not easy to conceive, and for the vast majority of women, the possibility of conceiving during the safe period is very small, so they will choose to have sex during this period.
However, what many people don't know is that the so-called safe period is not absolutely safe, and there is also the possibility of conception, which is not 100% certain.
This is because many women have very irregular menstrual dates, and it is difficult to catch a date that is really safe to achieve.
For women with regular menstruation, this is a good form of contraception.
However, you can't completely hope for a safe period, which is obviously risky.
Since it is not 100% guaranteed, then, everyone must pay attention to the choice and cannot rely on it completely, especially female friends, don't joke about your body.
Another way is also quite popular, that is, women use birth control pills to prevent pregnancy, which only needs to take one or two pills.
This is the most suitable way for many men, only need to spend dozens of yuan, and spend a small amount of money to prevent future troubles.
It's a different story for women.
Although this method is relatively simple, it also costs less money.
But for women, it is also very harmful, because it may cause their endocrine disorders and bring some unnecessary damage.
Therefore, if this method can be avoided, it is better to minimize the number of times it is used.
Many pharmacy staff will take the initiative to advise women who go to buy drugs not to take these drugs more than three times in a year.
In addition, there is another contraceptive method for women that has a certain popularity, and that is the placement of birth control devices in women's bodies.
This method is more commonly used for women who are married and have children, and have no plans to have children in the future.
Because the cost of this method of contraception is not high, it seems that it can achieve the goal once and for all, after all, there is no need to take medicine or be afraid every time after the fact.
For married women, this method is obviously more popular.
However, even if a contraceptive device is placed in the body, there is no 100% guarantee that you will not conceive.
There are exceptions to everything, and there is a certain chance of failure, so you can't take it lightly.
What's more, this type of surgery can also bring physical harm to women.
Many female compatriots have contracted gynecological diseases as a result.
The last method is also frequently used in mainland China, and it is mainly for men, that is, men use condoms to achieve contraception.
At present, the use rate of this method in China is extremely high, and the success rate is relatively high, and the operation is also very convenient.
It's just that, for some men, their experience will be worse.
Therefore, they are sometimes reluctant to adopt this method, preferring to let women take birth control pills, regardless of the health threat to their bodies, but just want to achieve a better experience for themselves.
This kind of behavior is undoubtedly selfish, they only care about their own pleasure, but they don't know that it will bring endless troubles to women, and this is also a manifestation of male irresponsibility.
2. "Once and for all" contraception
Since ancient times, people have used contraception in a variety of ways.
In the mainland, there are many ways to prevent contraception, and many of them are very common.
However, it can also be seen from the above contraceptive methods that, in general, for contraception, women are usually more harmed.
However, these methods have also been used frequently, after all, other contraceptive methods can be said to be relatively less harmful than abortion procedures performed after an unwanted pregnancy.
An abortion operation is very harmful to a woman's body, and can even cause a lifetime of regret.
Therefore, contraception is an issue that everyone needs to pay attention to.
However, with regard to contraception, the situation is completely different in foreign and domestic countries.
In many foreign countries, there is a contraceptive method that is used on men, and the use is very common, but it is rarely widely used in China.
This method is vasectomy, and few people in China know about it.
In foreign countries, especially in Canada, the United States, New Zealand and other countries, this kind of surgery is very widely used, and it is also the simplest and fastest of all contraceptive methods.
Moreover, this kind of surgery is very simple to implement, generally using local anesthesia, the whole operation process takes a very short time, costs less money, and the power is quite high.
Therefore, you don't have to worry about the consequences of failure at all, as long as you go to a regular hospital for surgery.
As the name suggests, it is possible to achieve a one-and-done goal in terms of contraception, as it has been cut off from the root.
Now that the vasectomy has been sterilized, there is no need to worry about sperm entering the woman's body and impregnating.
On the whole, this method is just a cost for men, but it truly realizes work and rest, and there is no need to worry about causing physical harm to women.
Some netizens believe that the reason why this kind of surgery can be popularized and used abroad is because foreign countries are more open-minded, especially their respect for women and they know how to protect women.
Because of this, the relationship between the sexes is more harmonious, and they get along more harmoniously.
However, this method is little known in the country, and for many people in the country, it is even unheard of.
Even though it has been popularized in some hospitals, it is still not accepted by people.
Why is that? Why is it difficult for Chinese to accept this form of contraception?
3. Reasons why it cannot be popularized in China
Vasectomy has not been widely used in China, which has a lot to do with the ideology of people in China.
As we all know, in China, most people think that a large part of the responsibility for contraception is borne by women, after all, pregnancy is done by women.
As a result, they place the blame for contraception on women and are reluctant to work on themselves.
Instead, look for more contraceptive methods that women can adopt, such as oral contraceptives, sterilization, and ring insertion.
The widespread use of these methods shows that many men believe that contraception is carried out by women, and they are very clean.
From another point of view, the domestic penetration rate is too low, and it is mostly due to traditional thinking.
In many parts of the continent, the patriarchal mentality is very strong, and their desire to carry on the family line is also greater.
In their opinion, if a man has a vasectomy, it may affect later family plans.
If there is a change in the family, such as divorce and remarriage, it may affect the fertility problems in the future, so they are not willing to take such a big risk on the man who is the breadwinner of the family.
For many older people, men play a role in honoring their ancestors and passing on the family business.
In addition, vasectomy is difficult to perform in China, also because the publicity and promotion of this procedure is not enough.
In China, many people do not know about this kind of surgery, and even talk about it, thinking that this kind of surgery will bring great harm to the male body.
Of course, in foreign countries, the reason why this surgery can be promoted actually has a lot to do with the foreign environment.
You know, in many countries, abortion is actually illegal and prohibited.
In the mainland, abortion surgery is carried out in formal medical institutions, which also leads to people not paying so much attention to pregnancy.
epilogue
Although there are many contraceptive methods in China, most of them are harmful to women. Contraceptive methods that can be achieved abroad are male-dominated.
It's just that it's still very difficult to promote it in China.
This may be related to the culture, traditional beliefs and concerns about the safety of surgery in China, and more education and time are needed to change people's perceptions.
