What are the risks associated with contraceptive methods?
Different contraceptive methods carry their own set of risks. Hormonal contraceptives, like birth control pills, can increase the risk of blood clots, stroke, and heart disease in certain women. Intrauterine devices (IUDs) may cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) if an infection is present at the time of insertion. Itâs crucial to discuss individual risk factors with a healthcare provider before choosing a contraceptive method.
