According to a 2015 UN report, it was found that about 58% of Azerbaijani women (who are of reproductive age, and who are married or in unions) use any form of contraception, including traditional methods, and about 14% of women had unmet family planning needs. The most common contraceptive method was withdrawal, also known as the "pull-out method," which was used by about 30% of women. This was followed by IUDs, which were used by approximately 15% of women, and the rhythm method and condoms, both which was used by about 4% of women. All other contraceptive methods had very low rate of usage, such as birth control pills (about 2% of women) and female sterilization (0.7% of women). There were practically no recorded users of contraceptive injectables or implants.<ref>[http://www.un.org/en/development/desa/population/publications/pdf/family/trendsContraceptiveUse2015Report.pdf Trends in Contraceptive Use Worldwide 2015]</ref> | According to a 2015 UN report, it was found that about 58% of Azerbaijani women (who are of reproductive age, and who are married or in unions) use any form of contraception, including traditional methods, and about 14% of women had unmet family planning needs.
