RISK: The combined pill can cause headaches
BENEFIT: It is free
RISK: The Male condom is the least effective as it can split or leak
BENEFIT: Is inexpensive and often free
RISK: Requires an operation. (However, it cannot be reversed, so if they are planning to have a family in the future, they cannot)
BENEFIT: Is 100% effective
ANSWER TO Q:
The man and woman should not consider sterilisation as a method of contraception as although, it is 100% effective, they cannot have a family in 5 years time as it is irreversible. Instead, a better alternative would be a male condom as it is free and inexpensive. But, it could lead to unwanted pregnancy as it is not always effective because there is a chance it will split or leak. An even better method is the combined pill, as it is more effective than condoms and is free from a GP. However, it could cause headaches
