Permanent Methods
Female sterilization
Tubal ligation = fallopian tubes cut and tied
Laparoscopic sterilization

Essure
Male sterilization
Vasectomy = vas deferens cut and tied
Other Forms of Contraception
Abstinence

Failure Rates
A failure rate is the chance that the average
couple using a given birth control method will
become pregnant in a given year.
Failure rates can be either for perfect use (ideal
conditions) or actual use (failure rate in the real world)
Failure rates range from less than 1% to 30%.
Condoms, sponges, and diaphragms have the largest
difference between these rates.
Contraceptive Failure
High rates of effectivenessoral
contraceptives, hormone injectables and
implants, IUDs, condoms, vaginal hormonal
ring, hormone patch, sterilization
Lower rates of effectivenessdiaphragms,
cervical caps, sponges, spermicidal agents,
fertility awareness methods, rhythm method,
withdrawal

6: Sexual Health
Sexual Health Defined:
A state of physical, emotional, mental and social well-
being related to sexuality; it is not merely the absence of
disease, dysfunction or infirmity. Sexual health requires a

pleasurable and safe sexual experiences, free of
coercion, discrimination, and violence. For sexual health
to be attained and maintained, the sexual rights of all
persons must be respected, protected, and fulfilled.
