What is a "contraceptive"?

A contraceptive is a method, drug, or device used to prevent pregnancy. It works by either blocking sperm from fertilizing an egg or by preventing fertilized eggs from attaching to the uterus. Contraceptives include various forms such as birth control pills, condoms, intrauterine devices (IUDs), hormonal implants, and contraceptive injections. These methods are chosen based on individual preferences, health considerations, and effectiveness in preventing unintended pregnancies.
