Hormonal contraceptives are birth control methods, which act on the endocrine system. These methods include use of hormones that are produced normally by women, such as estrogen and progesterone to prevent ovulation and in turn pregnancy. However, they do not provide protection against HIV or other sexually transmitted infections. There are two types of hormonal contraceptives available in the market, namely, progestin-only contraceptive and combination hormonal contraceptive. Hormonal contraception acts on the endocrine system to prevent unwanted pregnancy. Synthetic forms of naturally occurring hormones such as progestin and estrogen are used to prevent ovulation and avoid fertilization. These forms of birth control methods also change the environment of uterus, making it unfavorable for fertilization. They are available in a variety of forms such as patches, pill, injection, and rings, which are safe and reliable forms of hormonal contraceptives to prevent pregnancy.
