Every woman wants to know about contraceptives as its use has been on a steady rise. However, there are also many myths prevalent about contraceptives and their use that a woman is bound to feel confused. Given below are some important facts on contraceptives which every woman should be aware of.
Contraceptives are used when a woman does not want to become pregnant despite sexual contact.

However, there are also others who rely on female or male sterilization. But before moving ahead, you need to have a clear understanding of contraceptives without getting lost in plethora of myths prevalent today. Many people think that since they are taken regularly, oral contraceptives build up in the body. However, the fact is that these pills dissolve in the stomach just like other medicines and do not build in the body. Some women might experience slight weight gain but you cannot associate becoming fat by intake of contraceptive pills.
Even for those women who have a tendency of weight gain due to oral contraceptive, exercise and nutritious diet can prevent weight gain. There is also a prevalent myth that injectable contraceptives can lead to infertility. However, that is not the case and occasionally there are certain instances when it can take several months for the periods to become regular and normal.
