Not all contraceptive methods may be useful for everyone. Therefore, it is essential to choose the right method. Non-hormonal contraceptive methods are especially recommended for people whose general health condition is not suitable for these methods.

Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs or vesicles seen inside the ovary. Normally, during each menstrual period, a cyst called a follicle, which carries the egg cell and can reach 3 cm in size, forms in the ovaries. Then this cyst cracks and the egg is released. In young girls with ovulation problems, normal or physiological follicle cysts that cannot rupture can grow every month and reach 5-10 cm, while small numbers of 0.5-1 cm in size, which we call polycystic ovaries, can be seen in series. Apart from these functional cysts, benign or malignant ovarian cysts can also be seen in all age groups.
Except for the most common functional ovarian cysts, cysts can be benign or malignant tumoral cysts. In addition, as a result of infection, abscess-shaped cysts may occur, which is usually accompanied by pain and high fever.
As the best contraceptive method, some surgical procedures that give definite results can be shown. Ligation of the tubes, subcutaneous implants, and the use of hormonal spirals are considered among the safest birth control methods.

Protection during sexual intercourse is important in many ways. However, not all of these protection methods have a 100% success rate. Therefore, there is a risk of pregnancy even if a condom is used. Even if the healthiest contraceptive method is used, the risk increases in wrong applications. For example, the success rate of using condoms alone is generally 88%. In the use of a diaphragm, this rate can be up to 94 percent. In this respect, it is possible to get pregnant even if there is protection.
Withdrawal, which is one of the most well-known and traditional contraceptive methods, is one of the applications with the highest risk rate. This method basically refers to the man ejaculating out of the vagina just before ejaculation during sexual intercourse. Among contraceptive methods, it is not recommended to prefer this application due to the high-risk factor.
