Condoms vs birth control pills<\/h2>\n\n\n

Condoms are effective barrier methods of contraception made from thin<\/a> latex, plastic, or lambskin that can prevent pregnancy.

There are two types<\/a> of condoms, i.e., condoms worn on the penis by men and condoms worn inside the vagina by women.

Condoms can prevent pregnancy by creating a physical barrier and preventing<\/a> sperm from reaching the egg.

On the other hand, birth control pills, also called combination oral pills, are hormonal birth control methods<\/a> used since 1960 to prevent pregnancy. 

Birth control pills have hormones, wie zum Beispiel<\/a> Estrogen and Progestin, which are responsible for the menstrual cycle in women.

The other form of contraceptive pill, i.e., minipill, contains<\/a> Progestin only.
