Generally speaking, Colombian women use contraceptives at a slightly higher rate than the South American average. In 2015, it was found that about 78% of Colombian women (who were between 15-49 years old and married/in unions) used some form of contraception, including traditional methods, which was a bit higher than the South American average for that year (about 75% of women). Furthermore, about 8% of women had unmet family planning needs, which was lower than the South American average of that year (about 10%). The most common forms of contraception was female sterilization (about 34% of women). This was followed by contraceptive injectables (9%), birth control pills (8%), IUDs (7%), and male condoms (7%). There were rather low rates of usage for contraceptive implants (3%) and male sterilization (3%). Traditional methods, such as withdrawal/pull out method (4%) and the rhythm method (3%) were also not very common. There were practically no users of vaginal barrier methods (less than 1%).<ref>[http://www.un.org/en/development/desa/population/publications/pdf/family/trendsContraceptiveUse2015Report.pdf Trends in Contraceptive Use 2015]</ref>
Generalmente las mujeres colombianas usan anticonceptivos a una tasa ligeramente más alta que el promedio de América del Sur. En 2015, se encontró que alrededor del 78% de las mujeres colombianas (que tenían entre 15 y 49 años y estaban casada/en unión) usaban algún tipo de método anticonceptivo, incluyendo los métodos tradicionales, que era un poco más alto que el promedio sudamericano para ese año (alrededor del 75% de las mujeres). Además, alrededor del 8% de las mujeres tenían necesidades de planificación familiar insatisfechas, que era inferior al promedio de ese año en América del Sur (alrededor del 10%). Las formas más comunes de anticoncepción fueron la esterilización femenina (alrededor del 34% de las mujeres). A esto le siguieron los anticonceptivos inyectables (9%), las píldoras anticonceptivas (8%), los DIU (7%) y los condones masculinos (7%). Hubo tasas de uso bastante bajas para los implantes anticonceptivos (3%) y la esterilización masculina (3%). Los métodos tradicionales, como el método de extracción / extracción (4%) y el método del ritmo (3%) tampoco eran muy comunes. Prácticamente no hubo usuarios de métodos de barrera vaginal (menos del 1%). <ref>[http://www.un.org/en/development/desa/population/publications/pdf/family/trendsContraceptiveUse2015Report.pdf Trends in Contraceptive Use 2015]</ref>


In Colombia, birth control pills and IUDs were the most popular contraceptive option for women in the 1960s and 1970s. However, since that time, female sterilization has become the most common contraceptive method. Some women have cited the fact that they prefer a permanent contraceptive method, rather than worrying about maintaining a medication regimen, as a reason for seeking out sterilization. It is especially common for older women to seek out sterilization when they feel that they want no more children.<ref>[https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10995-017-2296-x The Rise of Female Sterilization: A Closer Look at Colombia]</ref> In particular, Profamilia, the main family planning organization in Colombia, has provided female sterilization services to many women.<ref>[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2237994 An evaluation of Profamilia's female sterilization program in Colombia]</ref> However, there are also some concerns that people with disabilities in Colombia have undergone forced sterilization.<ref>[https://www.rootedinrights.org/report-finds-extensive-use-of-forced-sterilization-in-colombia/ Report finds extensive use of forced sterilization in Colombia]</ref>
