Would you dare guess what is the most common method of birth control in the United States?
Maybe you thought about the birth control pill or even abstinence. But this is not the case. According to federal information, women between the ages of 15 and 49 use some contraceptive method. However, the most common method of birth control among women of this age is sterilization, according to a survey and a new study by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS).
TIME publishes that 19% of women depend on sterilization, which, as the note explains, requires a procedure that includes manually cutting, sealing, tying or blocking the fallopian tubes. According to the report, nearly 13% of women said they used birth control pills. While another 10% of them express using long-lasting reversible contraceptives, such as intrauterine devices. That is, they are placed in the uterus.
An interesting fact that the note exposes is the fact that 9% of women allegedly use the male condom to control birth or prevent pregnancy. In addition, only 6% depend on the sterilization of their partner, the so-called vasectomy. But what about patches or injections, are they still used? Apparently yes, but they are only used by a smaller proportion than the aforementioned women's groups. What the note does highlight is that female sterilization is the most common among older women. This because the procedure is irreversible. TIME reports that doctors recommend it to women who already decide not to have any more children.
