A member asked:

Is condom and pull out method enough to protect from pregnancy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not perfect: Condom effectiveness depends on the user's ability to use the method correctly. Aside from abstinence, no method is 100% effective. Withdrawal is an unreliable method of contraception. With correct use, condoms are in the range of 90% effectiveness.
