One of the main trends in modern reproductology is the improvement and wider application of methods for planned and emergency contraception. The frequency of abortions in Russia is one of the highest worldwide; the reason of which is the poor awareness of the population about contraception devices and techniques. The significance of the problem is undeniable and important in preserving a women’s health. To solve this problem, it is necessary to increase the level of health education for both women and men in contraception and birth control. The paper presents the main known contraception types with their methods of application, advantages and disadvantages.
