I dont find a reference regarding this. I saw none in my book, really. But the homework says there are 3 types of contraceptive methods: Natural method, artificial method, and surgical method of contraception. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each method. AND list and describe 2 specific and most frequently used contraceptive method for each type.

Anyone who could direct me to a reference? either a website will do. thanks!

Try planned parenthoods website and see if they have enough info. Personally other doctors office I've seen many charts regarding this information. Pros tend to be no pregnancy but cons are usually no std protection. Abstinence, bc pills and vasectomy would be the top in each category I would think.

We are happy to help with homework but we will not do it for you. A part of becommng a good nurse is knowing how and where to get the resources you need to care for our patient.

First define these three types of birth control methods. Google is your friend.

What is the artificial method? Let me google that for you

what is the surgical method? Let me google that for you

Then look at which of them and determine what are the good and bad aspects of each.

In each category what are the methods used?

What are the downsides and side effects of each method.

I agree with doing some research before asking. The community is very helpful once you provide an idea of what you're working with and show some independent thinking.

Here's a hint because I am in a good mood: one form of birth control for women is the IUD. One benefit is that pregnancy can be prevented for 5-10 years. One problem is the potential of uterine perforation.

Happy searching!
