Chemical methods - Spermicidal jelly and foam Chemical methods of contraception are used along with barriers such as condoms, cervical caps to increase their efficiency. Examples include spermicidal creams, jellies, foams etc.

IUDs - Copper T and Loop Intra uterine devices (IUDs) are contraceptive devices which are inserted in the uterus to prevent fertilisation and implantation. These are of three major types:

• Non-medicated IUDs: Lippes loop
• Copper releasing IUDs: CuT, Cu7, Multiload 375
• Hormone releasing IUDs: LNG-20, Progestasert

Barrier method of contraception - Condom and Cervical cap Barrier contraceptive methods prevent the physical meeting of sperm and ovum. Examples: Condoms, diaphragms, cervical caps etc. Condoms are used by males to cover the penis while diaphragms and cervical caps are used by females to cover their cervix during coitus. This ensures that the ejaculated semen does not progress into the female reproductive tract.

Sterilisation method - Tubectomy and Vasectomy Sterilisation techniques are surgical methods of contraception. Surgical methods involve sterilisation of male or female partners and are used as the terminal methods to prevent further pregnancies in future. It includes vasectomy in males (vas deferens is cut and tied up) and tubectomy in females (fallopian tube is cut and tied up).
