Mechanical methods include condom for men and women and diaphragm or cap. Chemical methods consist of the application of chemical preparations which are spermicidal. Surgical methods are sterilization procedures. Female sterilization is done by one of several methods such as laparotomy, mini-laparotomy, laparoscopy, culdotomy, culdoscopy, and hysteroscopy. Male sterilization or vasectomy involves cutting and tying of the vas deferens. Different types of IUDs are described. The paper further discusses the mechanism of action, advantages, and disadvantages of the different contraception methods or devices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keywords<\/h5>\n\n\n<div class=\"taxonomy-post_tag wp-block-post-terms\"><a href=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/?tag=chemical\" rel=\"tag\">chemical<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/?tag=contraception\" rel=\"tag\">contraception<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/?tag=intrauterine-devices\" rel=\"tag\">intrauterine devices<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/?tag=mechanical\" rel=\"tag\">mechanical<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/?tag=surgical\" rel=\"tag\">surgical<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\"  class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/TNP-2003-25-2_9_Mechanical-Chemical-Surgical-Contraception.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:1091px\" aria-label=\"Embed of TNP 2003 (25, 2)_9_Mechanical Chemical Surgical Contraception.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-8fc507f8-948d-40cf-8819-300bf24129d9\" href=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/TNP-2003-25-2_9_Mechanical-Chemical-Surgical-Contraception.pdf\">TNP 2003 (25, 2)_9_Mechanical Chemical Surgical Contraception<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/transactions.nast.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/TNP-2003-25-2_9_Mechanical-Chemical-Surgical-Contraception.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-8fc507f8-948d-40cf-8819-300bf24129d9\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Virgilio R.
