In 2015, it was estimated that 68.7% of Greek women (who are married/in unions and of reproductive age) use some form of birth control, and about 10% of women had unmet family planning needs. The most common birth control methods were condoms (33.9%) and withdrawal, also known as the "pull-out method" (21.7%). Meanwhile, there was a low usage rate for most other modern methods, such as birth control pills (4.8%), IUDs (3.6%), female sterilization (3.6%). There was an estimated 1.1% of women who used the rhythm method. There were practically no women who used contraceptive injectables (0.0%) or contraceptive implants (0.0%).<ref>[http://www.un.org/en/development/desa/population/publications/pdf/family/trendsContraceptiveUse2015Report.pdf Trends in Contraceptive Use 2015]</ref>
Generally speaking, it's been estimated that 68.7% of Greek women (who are married/in unions and of reproductive age) use some form of birth control, and about 10% of women had unmet family planning needs. By far, the most common contraceptive methods are condoms (33.9%) and withdrawal, also known as the "pull-out method" (21.7%). Meanwhile, there are low usage rate for most other modern contraceptive methods, such as birth control pills (4.8%), IUDs (3.6%), female sterilization (3.6%). There was an estimated 1.1% of women who used the rhythm method. According to 2015 data, there were practically no women who used contraceptive injectables (0.0%) or contraceptive implants (0.0%).<ref>[http://www.un.org/en/development/desa/population/publications/pdf/family/trendsContraceptiveUse2015Report.pdf Trends in Contraceptive Use 2015]</ref> This means that, overall, Greek women use modern contraceptive methods at much lower rates than other Southern European countries.
