In regards to contraception and body weight, not all methods are created equal.
Being overweight or obese and how it can affect people’s health in various ways has always been discussed—but what about when it comes to contraception?
Fortunately, body fat doesn’t matter for most methods, including the IUD, injectables, implants, and condoms; these methods are effective for all women regardless of weight.
On the other hand, it’s still quite uncertain whether the effectiveness of oral contraceptive pills is affected by body weight.
It’s important for overweight women to use an effective contraceptive method if they don’t intend to get pregnant.
The IUD is an excellent choice, but you should seek advice from your healthcare provider first if you’re concerned about this issue.
