Emergency contraception - is already preventing pregnancy after unprotected sexual intercourse accomplished. If you use unreliable folk remedies, that its effectiveness is likely to be zero. And too extreme ways people can even bring to disaster.

Method one - douching

It's not a bad way, but not too reliable. Folk wisdom says that you need to douche immediately after sexual intercourse. As a means for douching better use acidic solutions, which adversely affect the spermatozoa. Most often used for this purpose diluted lemon juice.

Recipe: Lemon miss in a meat grinder together with the skin (there are also a lot of useful substances that kill sperm), squeeze and add a liter of boiled water. Douching spend with a special syringe volume from 200 to 500 ml (you can buy in a drugstore). You need to wash carefully to nothing left.

For irrigation is used as a solution of vinegar (a spoon of vinegar to a pint of water) and a weak solution of potassium permanganate, St. John's wort extracts, chamomile, sage Sage - cvyaschennaya grass .

Guarantees that after this pregnancy does not occur, no: just try to wash all the sperm, even one a yes hide. Conclusion: The method has the right to exist, but it is extremely unreliable.

The second way - the introduction of substances into the vagina, the sperm-killing

For this purpose, after sexual intercourse is recommended to enter the vagina or a slice of lemon soap. Applied and others already quite extreme substance. All this, of course, negatively affects the lining of the vagina, and facilities such as laundry soap, and even cause vaginal bacteria overgrowth Dysbacteriosis vagina - how to fight?   (bacterial vaginosis), killing its natural flora that resists infection.

Conclusion: The method is absolutely hopeless, unable to prevent pregnancy while can cause disorders of the vagina.

The third way - thermal procedures

Folk wisdom recommends taking a hot bath, steam bath Sauna and health: the benefits and harms of bath procedures , Soar feet. If such procedures are done immediately after sexual contact, it will have no effect: the conception does not depend on the presence or absence of heat. If the birth occurred, during the first week of heat treatments are also useless: the fertilized egg (embryo) during the first 7 - 10 days is off-line, fed their own food stocks and nothing to do with the mother.

After a desyatidney embryo embedded in the uterine wall, causing a small implantation bleeding. The mucous membrane of the uterus at the moment loosened and penetrated by blood vessels. The application in this period of heat treatments is dangerous to health: it leads to abortion and bleeding.

Moreover, long thermal treatments are dangerous and internal organs, they can cause a drastic increase or decrease in blood pressure, stroke, thrombosis and so on.

Conclusion: This method can not be used.

The fourth method - exercise

Physical activity has always been considered a very effective means to prevent pregnancy. But if you carefully consider the effect of them is exactly the same as that of the thermal procedures: first, they have no effect (except running or jumping can prevent conception?), And then become simply dangerous as any abortion is a medical institutions.

Such abortion is called illegal abortions. The result can be bleeding (where is the guarantee that it will be possible to stop at home?) Or entering the uterus infection followed by spread her gaping blood vessels of the uterus - so begins a blood infection.

Conclusion: The method has no right to exist.
