There are a lot of misinformation and misconception about sex and contraception that has been going around for a long time but are false. Almost everyone has heard their fair share of these rumours. While some people know these myths are not true there are some other people who strongly believe in these myths despite some of these practices being a ticking time bomb to their health as they pose potential health hazard to those using these methods. See them below.
Andrew liver salt: This is a laxative and antacid for mild stomach complaints, they are a type of medication that can control the levels of acid in your stomach. It provides quick relief from symptoms caused by stomach acids like; heartburn, acid reflux, abdominal discomfort and other digestion problems. It is not a contraceptive and cannot be used to prevent pregnancy. Diarrhea may occur with extensive usage and it may also lead to hypermagnesaemia and hypocalcaemia for people with severe renal dysfunction.
Antibiotics (Beecham Ampiclox and Flagyl): Funny as it sounds, a lot of people out there use these antibiotics as contraceptives but it's so wrong. Ampiclox is an antibiotic that kills bacteria by preventing them from making the protein needed to build their cell walls. It is used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections. Flagyl is also an antibiotic used to treat a wide range of bacterial infection. Using an antibiotic when is not needed can cause it to not work for treatment of future infections. No wonder some bacteria have grown so strong and there are some that are partially or fully resistant to antibiotics. Some side effects of excessive usage of antibiotics are; yeast infections, diarrhea, tongue and mouth sore, nausea etc.
Salt and water: Some people take salt and water immediately after sex because they believe that the salt will kill the sperm before it even swims close to the egg to fertilize it. But this false and also dangerous to one's health. Excess salt increases blood pressure because it holds excess fluid in the body and creates an added burden to the heart. Too much intake of salt will increase one's risk of stroke, heart failure, osteoporosis, stomach cancer, kidney diseases and it's a major cause of high blood pressure.
Sprite and salt: This also cannot prevent pregnancy because it doesn't have any contraceptives component. When one takes sprite and salt, it goes straight to one’s stomach which is not connected to one’s uterus or vagina. So, it cannot flush sperm neither can it prevent conception.
Having sex while menstruating: Some females can still get pregnant when they engage in sexual activities during their periods, though it's unlikely but still possible. Becoming pregnant depends largely on one's menstrual cycle. Women with shorter cycle are more likely to get pregnant when they have unprotected sex during their period. They sperm can stay in the human (female) body for up to five days and that's perfect timing for the sperm to fertilize fresh egg when it’s released.
It's best to desist from any of these practices to avoid health problems or unwanted pregnancy.

“Everything seemed alright, we had no issue whatsoever but he just broke up with me for no reason after three (3) good years.”
That's one complaint people often make after a break up. In a relationship, you need to be observant not doubtful (doubt can lead to lack of trust which can destroy your relationship). Nobody breaks up with their partner without thinking about it for a while, it usually premeditated and if you are observant, you'll notice how things starts to deteriorate and maybe you'd be able to save your relationship before things finally starts to crumble. There are some certain red flags you should take note of, to know if your relationship is about hitting the rocks. Below are some red flags you should take note of.
1. They stop calling you and start avoiding your calls. Communication and understanding is one major element that should not be removed in a relationship. When you remove communication from the relationship, it becomes almost useless. Someone who is interested in you would call often to check on you even if they're busy, if they missed your call they'll try and return the call when they're less busy. When they don’t pick your call or call back, they're probably tired of the relationship and see your calls as a burden.
2. They give flimsy excuses to end the call when they finally pick your call reluctantly. At this point they already see your calls as a burden so they start giving you excuses like "I am eating, I'm bathing, I'm sleeping, I'm outdoors, it's too noisy, I'll get back to you." so that you don't call them, and you’d wait for hours or even days and they won’t return yours calls like they promise and if you call again, you'll still get the same excuses.
3. They never chat with you when they are online and when you confront them, it's the same old story "I'm busy". Or they are very monosyllabic which is a way of telling you they're not interested in the conversation. The truth of the matter is nobody is too busy for their partner, if they love you and still interested in you, they'll find time to communicate with you.
4. They don't want to meet up with you or hang out with you like it used to be. They don't want you to come over, they keep on trying every means possible to distance themselves from you. Creating new memories is one way to make a relationship grow, when you don't create new memories the relationship will mostly likely loose it's sparks and it'll become boring. And that’s exactly what they want.
It takes two to tango. A healthy relationship requires both partners to put in equal efforts. The weight of a relationship is too heavy for one partner to carry alone lest they crush their heart and hurt themselves.
