The Contraceptive Pill Effective Methods of Contraception
Also known as the combined oral contraceptive pill (COCP), the contraceptive pill or the pill for short is a method of birth control that uses a combination of hormones to inhibit fertility when taken every day. Although not a method of preventing the spread of STIs, the pill can regulate and often lighten periods and is thought to reduce the risk of ovarian cancer. However, if the contraceptive pill is not remembered to be taken, this can lead to pregnancy. The mini-pill (POP) can also be taken orally and is recommended for those who should not use the full pill - for example, older women, diabetics and women whose blood pressure has gone up on the pill.
