While contraceptives are generally safe, they can have side effects:
- Hormonal Methods: May cause nausea, weight gain, mood changes, and irregular bleeding. - Barrier Methods: Generally, only cause irritation or allergic reactions in some users. - IUDs: Can cause cramping and irregular bleeding initially. - Natural Methods: No physical side effects but require strict adherence and can be less effective. - Permanent Methods: Usually, no long-term side effects, but the procedure has risks like any surgery.
