PubHealth.info®
(a subsidiary of
PakMed) presents scientific information mainly
based on abstracts of articles published on a variety of public health issues/topics,
particularly encompassing
population planning, disease prevention, maternal and child health,
and communicable and
non-communicable diseases (like HIV AIDS, malaria, etc) that are
affecting a significant portion of population in developing and
developed
countries. Here you can find abstracts of articles published on a variety of public health
topics under category "Contraception
(Birth Control) and Family Planning".
Contraception (birth control)
is a regimen of one or more actions, devices, or medications followed in
order to deliberately prevent or reduce the likelihood of a woman
becoming pregnant or giving birth. Therefore contraception is the
utilization of various and sundry surgical procedures, devices,
practices, agents, or drugs with the intention of preventing conception
or impregnation (pregnancy). Methods and intentions typically termed
birth control may be considered a pivotal ingredient to family
planning. Birth control is a controversial political and ethical
issue in many cultures and religions, and although it is generally less
controversial than abortion specifically. |

Contraception (Birth Control) and Family Planning |
| Is previous use of hormonal contraception associated with a detrimental |
| effect on subsequent fecundity? |
| Human Reproduction. 2004 Feb;19(2):344-351. |
| The effects of contraception on subsequent fecundity are yet to be substantiated. A total of 2841 consecutive |
| pregnant women in Hull and Sheffield completed questionnaires inquiring about time to pregnancy (TTP), |
| contraceptive use, pregnancy planning, previous pregnancies, age and lifestyle characteristics of each partner. |
| Outcome measures were mean TTP, conception probability and odds of subfecundity after discontinuing each |
| contraceptive method. TTP following long-term combined oral contraceptive (COC), short-term intrauterine device |
| (IUD) or any duration of injectable use were 2.0-, 1.6-, 3.0-fold longer than TTP after condom use, respectively. Within |
| 6 months of discontinuing COC or injectable use, conception probabilities were 0.86 and 0.34, respectively, |
| whereas those relevant to other methods were not significantly different. All levonorgestrel intrauterine system (IUS) |
| users conceived within 1 month. Relative to condoms, odds of subfecundity after COC, injectable and short-term IUD |
| use were 1.9, 5.5, 2.9, respectively. The effect of COC and injectables was stronger with long-term use, in older, |
| obese or oligomenorrhoeic women. Similar results were obtained after adjustment for potential confounders. A |
| significant reduction in fecundity occurs after COC, IUD or injectables, which is dependent on the duration of use. |
| The effect of COC and injectables is evident in women with a potentially compromised ovarian function. Use of |
| progesterone-only pills or IUS is not associated with a significant effect. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT1T |
