    Glossary Hormonal Contraception

    methods using hormones to prevent pregnancy by regulating ovulation

    Hormonal contraception, also known as hormonal birth control, refers to methods of preventing pregnancy by using hormones to regulate or stop ovulation. These methods include pills, patches, injections, vaginal rings, and implants, which typically contain synthetic forms of estrogen and/or progestin. By altering the hormonal balance, these contraceptives prevent the release of eggs from the ovaries, thicken cervical mucus to block sperm, and thin the uterine lining to prevent implantation.
