How Does Birth Control Work? 

The copper iud is not hormonal and easily removable is not a good term.

Interesting video! What an intriguing analogy! (Factories) I do have a potential correction though: At 0:27 you say “even though a person has already made all the eggs they will ever make at Birth” But this Scishow video says that that is and outdated idea: m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KfNNeRydOug.html&pp=ygUkc2Npc2hvdyBodW1hbiBmZW1hbGVzIHByb2R1Y2luZyBlZ2dz (42 seconds in)

@@Gwallacec2 They didn't say easily removable. They said easily reversible. But yes, a better description of type would probably be "chemical".

I clicked to comment this because i saw it in the thumbnail. 😅

It is not about pregnancies. It is about controlling women and controlling their sexual health is a very effective method to accomplish that.

There is no reason to ban them because women should inherently have more rights than a bundle of cells that may or may not be inside them.

The Copper IUD also prevents implantation, which is why it can be used as emergency contraception (and is often the most effective method for those over a certain weight, as the different emergency contraceptive pills are less effective with a higher body weight).

Yeah I have no idea why they’d say that

I would assume a properly performed tubal ligation should prevent the sperm from passing

@@brent9359i think it should ideally but sperm are so small that they still might go further down the tube to where the eggs are and can’t leave

@@justbehappyandalwaysbehapp9546 Because the lower barrier means it's more accessible and thus potentially useful to more people. Seeing a doctor can be much more expensive (but also simply awkward when it comes to such topics). If colouring "no"s green is the issue, they could always rephrase the question to "Is it available without a HCP?" or such.

I disagree. The other yes/no are in those colors and would be visually weird to not have them be consistent

maybe change the question, like can be obtained over the counter or something similar.

@@DJ-sp5vf yes, this is probably the best choice. We should acknowledge the red elephant in the room that some people view access as a negative. All the better reason to change it to easy access being green :)

@@EdwardChan.999 no wonder hyenas laugh so mad hahahaha poor them

Why do people get those instead of just taking a pill?? Remove your ovaries from your body forever vs taking pills occasionally that usually don't have side effects and can be stopped at any time.

@@lambda653 tying or removing the fallopian tubes is not the same as removing the ovaries themselves. That would have further implications and is usually only done for various medical reasons rather than "just" family planning. As for why some people opt for more permanent forms of birth control? Because they are permanent. Because they can't be taken away by an overbearing government declaring pills suddenly illegal, because you can't forget to take them once and mess up your protection for the whole month (the pill is very time critical), because some people absolutely get a fuck ton of side effects on pills or other hormonal BC...

⁠​⁠@@lambda653For my spouse, it was a few factors: 1) Hormonal birth control _wasn’t_ side-effect-free for them and caused a bunch of changes in behavior and health 2) They had fertility problems anyway, so even if we did want biological kids, it was going too be an uphill battle 3) They have a chronic disease that would make getting pregnant risky for both them and the baby So for them, pregnancy was never going to be a realistic option, and the alternatives weren’t working well, so they just wanted the risk eliminated. But obviously that’s not true for most people. And, anecdotally, very few people get tubal ligations compared to using reversible or temporary forms of birth control, specifically for the reasons you listed. Even for my spouse, who was 95% sure they were never going to want to be pregnant, permanent birth control wasn’t the first thing they tried. (Relayed with permission from my spouse)

​@@lambda653 BE AWARE IT'S ALL MY OWN EXPERIENCE! NOT PROFESSIONAL ADVICE. please, I have newly started taking those pills, it's my second month so the effect should be full effect, i feel like a trash bag sometimes because of it, (it does says side effects can cause so many things in the video, but there are waaaay more side effects than that little ) so generally I feel good, but after I started taking the pills my overall mood, and sensitiveness went worse. I feel so sad and in pain bc of things so much more easily, I am not as happy, i cry more. But general mood swings are in the "it's probably still okay to take kind of side effect" list. 1. I generally know myself as a strong stomached person, I can even eat food when it's bad, and still not puke (I rarely eat those kind of food, It’s just that at first i don’t notice just after a few spoons, or something), when have a very strong compulsion to gag (while having a sick throat) still not puking, nothing is coming up my stomach easily. After I started taking those pills? I start my day feeling not good, drink a few sip water or tea AND THROW IT ALL UP, no food thrown up, just liquid. WHY?! it's been years since i puked and now in a month i puked twice? I blamed the first one on feeling really awful but the second time cannot be blamed on anything else. ( i continued drinking the rest, and yes the water and the tea was perfectly fine, my bladder and shit was fine with it even after I threw up in the morning ) SO LIKE, do you wish to randomly throw up and feel really really shit in the morning once or twice in a month just because? any way 2. ye the moodswings, rather sensitiveness, I feel so much more like crying, because of things that didn't even make a chance to make me care for them. Why am I like this? 3. It made my menstruation shit. it does say a side effect like "clungy" menstruation. but its more like.. it started 6 days earlier, and it's been going for 12 days already, i do feel like it can go longer than 2 weeks (, just mentioning a menstruation cycle is usually 28 days long). I do feel generally worse on when menstruating, and the tablet only gives me a week break to let the body flush out it's ... thing. still it writes it still has full effect in that pill free week as it's description says so, i wish no one, a worse menstruation on an already bad menstruation (i generally have fine menstruation it's just so much hormonal stress that i can not take as well that even thinking about it can make me cry) Its description says when after starting taking it, menstruation disorientation exists for several months, check up with doc and stop taking pills immediately. (also i did ask my doctor, if i can make the pill takings more.. flexible, like a longer wait for my period or, shorter maybe, but the answer for a longer wait was a strictly no, and the pills description said i can start take it earlier ) 4. Many or some woman can't take this pill, especially ppl with thrombosis. They'll probably die from it. here are some serious side effects that MY birth control pill says: retinal vein thrombosis: - instant blindness - painless blurry vision, that can go to blindness heart attack: (i don't really know medical english, sorry) - pain in chest, discomfort, English words I don't remember. - in the place of heart, feeling pressure there or fullness (okay i can't really translate all of it, but it's saying a bunch physical discomfort like things, like heavy breathing and out of breath all the time) stroke: (it is a longer list than the heart attack, but it is generally a heart attack but with your brain :D) -face, arm or legs suddenly feeling numb, or weak - sudden confusion, and/ or confusion in speaking - suddenly walking problem, walking like a drunk person. (technically) - serious, very serious headache - passing out (with a bunch of side effects, they will not pass out like a disney princess) blood clots blocking other blood vessels: -swelling and slight bluish discoloration of the limb -serious stomach ache. angioedema: -face, tongue, or/and throat swelling or/and swallowing difficulties with even breathing difficulties. deep blood vessel thrombosis. - (generally when your leg more reminds you of a 5 year old’s leg on a vacation place they never been (they fell and stand up so much)) lungemboli: like.. between dying of not getting air, and having a cold and drunk a poison that makes you cough up blood.. that’s it’s description. tbh. I'm not that scared of that, bc they don't have a high chance of happening here’s a list of “don’t take this tablet” list: (of you or a close relative of yours have any of: every sickness through depression, skin cancer, liver problems, with even epilepsy and allergies) o-o i just don’t think a person exists where their whole family is as healthy as can be through several generations. so I can probably just link the joke video of this joke meds, where it gives you all the side effects and doesn’t do anything good to your body. Because, this really doesn’t heal anything, it just makes you unable to reproduce.. so.. uh. ye. What's bothering, is the list that are considered common side effects. (1 out of 10) - acne - headache -stomachache - moodswings -breast pain/growth/sensitiveness, painful or unorganized menstruation, (nvm not even menstruation, just general bleeding down there) -weight growth there are uncommon side effects: (1 out of 100) and rare ones (1 out of 1000) with a list of everything. it does contains my mentioned problems. I am not happy. i would not take this pill a second longer if i get worse side effects I can write a 5th reason I will soon stop taking this. The uncommon list contains the pharyngitis which I just woke up with this morning. (it’s summer here, you can only get such painful throat in winter, this pill is bs) I am meeting up with my doctor soon. it is not "just taking a pill".

​@@lambda653 because pills can have side effects like weight gain and depression. Also the surgery only removes the tubes NOT the ovaries

>suicide Holy shit what

@@burner555 well .. depressive bursts which led to suicide. but tbh .. i find permanent sterilization way more concerning about an intentionally temporary preservative .. but those studies are a couple years old and since media outlets are insanely biased against men all new reports i have seen lately just downplay sideeffects and riddicule men as weak and claim double standards .. once there is something declared reasonably save and is on the market .. lets see .. but i am very sceptical, because there is no such thing as faking pregnancy for men

No, we had multiple studies and many were stopped for other reasons. In most of these studies, the men wanted to continue regardless of the side effects, because these side effects are still better than the ones of the pill in many cases

No doubt.

BS, most female BC is just as harmful as male equivalents. It's just one of the many double standards in medicine, alongside things like denying women painkillers far more often or drug testing trials with far more male participants (at least that last one is getting a bit better I hear)

The problem is poor effectiveness. It could help a bit, but would likely result in people thinking 80% is good enough. It will get there eventually, but releasing too soon will result in bad results, and may hurt it's future chances.

​@@eric_has_no_idea reliable once have arleady been finished but got pulled from the market because they had some side effects (headache, mood swings). Not even half of the side effects that the female pill does..but alas women are worth less in that regard

​​​​@@eric_has_no_idea You can increase the hormonal dose, but then that also increases the side effects, which can include a risk of permanent sterilisation and reduced sex drive. Some have also reported suicidal ideation with male hormonal birth control, and considering the significantly higher risk in men it's probably a non starter.

@@Croz89 Right now, yes, its not ready, yet. Women have dealt with that same reaction. Both need more research, womens' was pushed through before we cared about stuff like this.

@@eric_has_no_idea Not to the same severity. Hormonal birth control for women does have side effects, sure, but you don't need such a high dose to be effective. Barrier methods seem more promising IMO.

Just in case

Cuz your board

​@@zocker8748fr it's 2:47 am and I got recommended I'm like sure why not now I'm going to sleep

It's the same thing. It doesn't matter what is the reason.

Did you know there are words in English for "people who can get pregnant" and "people who can impregnate"? They're called "women" and "men", respectively.

The chart has a bunch of mistakes… copper iud is not hormonal and the side effects are not correct plus easily removable is not a good term.

It got rid of my acne almost completely, and my periods were no longer irregular.

@@kcninetales5973 Same, it also made it so I could actually attend school. For 5 to 7+ days a month for four years straight I could almost never go to school as my period would constantly make me throw up and bleep so much I was dizzy and faint. Since being on the pill my periods last exactly 5 days and I have never once thrown up because of my period since. People wanting to ban birth control because they want more unready people to have babies are already evil people, but the don't realize just how many people take it to not have life ending periods.

Hormonal birth control has helped me with PMDD and PCOS! And also with NOT having babies at an age, financial and mental state that will do more harm than good 😊

True tho

It's painful and it bruises a bunch? How is that worth it over using a pill? Or having him use a condom?

@@lambda653 I'm very forgetful, so the pill, or many of the plethora of other options, are not a good options for me. A condom is not going to regulate my periods and prevent me from getting a three week period. I use birth control to regulate my periods. I rarely even have the opportunity to need it for birth control reasons anymore. Can't get pregnant if you got no sexual partners. It hurts going in, but I have a really high pain tolerance, and I'm clumsy and hurting myself badly all the time, so my pain tolerance is ridiculously high . Once it's in, it's very bruised, but I barely notice it pain-wise, unless I'm looking at or poking at it. It's just the best option for me 😊

@@lambda653 it's only really painful when they're putting it in or changing it out for a new one. It's bruises, but if I'm not touching it or looking at it, I barely even notice once it's in. I have a ridiculously high pain tolerance, so it barely even bothers me. I'm forgetful, so the pill, or many other birth control methods won't work for me very well. I love that the implant is a set it and forget it kind of method. I use it mainly for regulating my periods, rather than the birth control purpose, so I don't get a 3 week period. A condom isn't going to regulate my periods. I haven't had the opportunity to use it for the actual birth control purpose of birth control for a while. You can't get pregnant if you're not having sex. It is definitely worth it to me!

It was very concerning to me when I realized how little women understand the bc they take!! Tricking your body into thinking it’s pregnant 24/7… no thanks. The studies coming out are scary too. We all knew their diet changes, bloated, etc. but new studies shows it affects who they are attracted to! And that many who who were on it that stop tend to no longer be attracted to the guys anymore 😮

12th word in the comment be like: 🧙‍♀️ 🧙‍♀️

didn't they though ? The jelly thing ?

@@Enden31the jelly they discussed is spermicide that is a topical application every time you have sex. It just kills sperm but it doesn’t lock it into your balls like what what I’m referring to. I’m talking about a semi-surgical injection of gel into your vas deferens that hardens for years. You can undo it earlier by injecting a solvent that dissolves it. It basically emulates a vasectomy without actually permanently cutting the vas deferens. It just blocks them in

​@@Enden31no, that is different. The gel talked about is spermicide. The one op is talking about physical blocks the path. It's like a temporary vasectomy.

It's probably the most promising because it's non hormonal (hormonal birth control in men has either been not very effective or has introduced severe side effects), it lasts a reasonably long time and it can be quickly reversed with another injection. The only downside is it needs to be administered by a medical professional.

@@portobeIIa lol I’m not going to lie, every period for about the first six months was like the very first stages of when I was in labor with my kids.

A thirst for knowledge perhaps

Well if you combine say condom and birth control pill the effectiveness is about 99.8%, but don't go combining every method as for example combining and external and internal condom has a decently high chance of both tearing.

Best to email them

Probably because they're harder to use correctly, therefore less popular, therefore less widespread, therefore harder to obtain.

Also often called "women condom". It's like a very big condom put inside the vagina and covering vulva.

because its used less often, its bacically a condom for women, where they apply the condom in the vagina or the bottom (idk how to say butt in a cientific way, since im not very good at speaking english)

More by age. Menopause is when your ovaries stop producing certain hormones, which also slows down and stops egg production, but the physiological effects occur regardless as you age.

Every single cell has a cell wall. Whether you want to call it a membrane based on the thickness is up to you. Human cells have walls, bacteria and viruses have walls, and plant cells have walls.

@@Serpiente21 well, no. The difference between a cell wall and cell membrane isn’t thickness, it’s composition. Both terms are well defined in biology. Plant cells have cell walls and cell membranes, which are different (but related) structures. Animal cells have cell membranes but not cell walls.

@@Serpiente21you’re wrong buddy, only bacteria, plants and fungi have cell walls, the rest doesn’t have them

It was an error in the original chart that incorrectly said vasectomies increase risk of ectopic pregnancy

good thing I checked this, before I commented, you are right that human cells don't have a cell wall, but it was likely a mistake on their part, they likely mean the cell membrane which all cells have. (I googled it just to ensure I wasn't wrong only to find out I was in fact wrong)

Guess who didnt do their homework

more complicated. menopause is a hormonal change

Not really, there are still plenty of eggs. How and why exactly menopause is triggered is still a mystery.

The menopause comes when a woman becomes too old. The number of fertile eggs decreses anyway over they life. I think it exists in humans to give grandmothers the opportunity to help the tribe with the kids so that the younglings can go back into production sooner.

What do you expect from a channel that says "egg producers" instead of women? The black-rock sponsored alphabet mafia has had their influence in this channel for a while now, don't expect quality content from them.

​@@napiski2260 Buddy, you do realize that "egg producer" refers to the ORGAN, not the individual, do you not?

@@somerandomnon-importantper3219 Because saying "ovaries" is too difficult, right, cultist?

@@napiski2260 You mean the literal very first word used in this video? The LITERAL first words used in this video are ovaries and testicles. Yet I'm the cultist? The irony is rich

@@napiski2260 It really is hilarious though. I just rewatched the video paying extra attention to the words used. And the very first sentence they say is "You can think of ovaries and testicles as factories that produce eggs and sperm". So immediately, the word factory is established as a metaphor to accentuate the functions. You're the one making connections that quite simply are not there. And your first course of action when you are challenged is to call me a "cultist". I heavily suggest you exercise some self reflection. One of the defining traits of cultists is an unwillingness to challenge their world view to the point that they act hostile towards any challenge. Which is exactly what you did here my friend

Condoms, like a lot of plastic/rubber products, are made cheaply through mass production. Even is used properly they could have little errors that let sperm leak out. Sperm cells are very small, so even if a gap isn't visible to the naked eye it can still be large enough for it to get through, and it just takes a single cell to risk getting pregnant.

The pill + condom is the best way to go

85% does not mean for single use, these numbers are based on how likely it is over an entire year of regular sex to get pregnant. Defects in condoms can occur. However, that 85% number is just one of many. Most sources are around the mid 90%. Still, it is not totally reliable on its own and if you to 100% don't want a kid, you should combine it with other methods

I think it probably refers to the pearl index. Basically, if 100 couples are tracked for a year It says how many will get an unwanted pregnancy in that year.

@@gfrewqpoiu interesting. In % chances I would normally think it as a 95% chance of working each ahh.. "dice roll".

When talking about the effectiveness of birth control, the percentage refers to the amount of couples that get pregnant after a year of using a specific birth control method. So, a 95% effectiveness, means that, in studies, 5 couples out of 100 got pregnant within a year by using that method of contraception. Now, there are some very obvious flaws with that metric, but it's very difficult to quantise exactly how effective a method of contraception is, because of all the variables involved in reproduction and sex.

@@rfldss89 Which is also why, for example, there are different percentages for average use (people forget, get diarrhea, use the wrong size etc), and perfect use. Part of the reason why condoms are so low.

​@@gfrewqpoiu There should definitely be a percentage for "drunk use" as well.

Condoms, like a lot of plastic/rubber products, are made cheaply through mass production. Even is used properly they could have little errors that let sperm leak out. Sperm cells are very small, so even if a gap isn't visible to the naked eye it can still be large enough for it to get through, and it just takes a single cell to risk getting pregnant.

manufacturing flaws can be a factor..

85% is in general, with perfect use it's something like 95%. the most common ways it fails are tears, leaks, and slipping.

The metrics of birth control are kinda wild. The short version is, there are studies tracking couples who use a specific method for a year and then they count how many of them get pregnant regardless. The metric then emerges from a meta study which basically averages a bunch of those studies. And that's your effectiveness number. With condoms, your single point of failure is just a thin membrane. As long as it holds, it is extremely effective. But when it breaks, it's free real estate all over again.

@@danilooliveira6580 Slipping can be caused due to it being too large, and men often buy the wrong size due to hubris. There's a company that renamed their sizes to something like "huge", "gigantic" and "enormous" and they found men were far more likely to buy the correct size in that case.

The condom itself is like 99.99% sure. But turns out people use them incorrectly or it might break, often from incorrect use like making a hole with teeth or nails. The structure gets compromised very easily even with a tiny tear. Also the condom has expiration date, after that the material has lost its specified elasticity and strength. Also temperature etc. will affect it. Wallet for example is one of the worst places to keep condoms. Some people also re-use condoms that is big no no. Or it might get lodged. Or they use too big or small one.

@@luizzeroxis Sure, but that's self-reported and not everyone find fault in their own actions. Sometimes its not even obvious, such as expired condom.

@@mumtrz On the off chance you're not joking, or for anyone who really doesn't know: the ovum releases from the ovary and sperm have to swim all the way up the fallopian tubes to fertilise it. The resulting zygote is pushed by cilia (little microscopic hairs) to the uterus in about 3 or 4 days, where it takes about a week to actually implant in the uterine wall.

When used incorrectly, condom is not any better than pulling out. The 85% is a self reported statistic over a year of using condoms only

I assume the point of failure is the condom ripping or slipping off
