Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hormonal methods, such as the combination pill or the hormonal implant, work by inhibiting ovulation, or the release of an egg from the ovary. This is the most effective way to prevent pregnancy as it prevents fertilization from occurring in the first place. The barrier method (such as condoms) and the spermicide method (such as spermicidal foams or gels) work by blocking the entry of sperm into the uterus or by killing sperm, but they are not as effective as hormonal methods. The oogenic method is not a recognized method of contraception.
