There are many ways to classify contraceptive methods. For example, based on the parameters discussed below:

Male or female depending on whether it is used by men or women. Oral or non-oral refers to whether contraceptives are taken in the form of pills or are placed elsewhere in the body. Hormonal or non-hormonal based on whether they include hormones in their composition ? Temporary or permanent depending on the duration of the contraceptive method. Reversible or irreversible refers to the total sterilization of men or women.
