Abstract

|
|
Based on the results of the ‘Sexual and Reproductive Health Survey by Life Cycle of Korean Women’ conducted in 2022, this article explores the current status of Korean women’s contraceptive use by life cycle. Results show that about half of adolescents and young adults were always use contraception during sexual intercourse. And the majority of Korean women use menstrual cycles or extravaginal ejaculation along with other contraceptive methods. Practicing safe and effective contraceptive methods to prevent unintended pregnancy and infection from sexually transmitted diseases is an
important aspect of women's health and sexual and reproductive health. Thus, it is necessary to expand contraception to the topics of sexual health, self-determination, and women’s health rather than considering contraception as a simple topic of reproductive health related to pregnancy and childbirth.
