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.

ABSTRACT

Only 150-200 cases of vesico-uterine fistula have been reported in the medical literature. Presented, in this paper, is

the case of a 30-year-old Hungarian woman who was admitted to Bocs-Kiskun County Teaching Hospital in 1996

with frequent, painful urination. Cystoscopy revealed that an IUD, inserted in 1992, had perforated the uterus and was

situated in the bladder. After forceps removal of the IUD, the patient's symptoms disappeared. 6 weeks after IUD

removal, a vesico-isthmical fistula 4-5 mm in diameter was removed surgically. This type of fistula is usually

associated with bladder bleeding, while cervical fistulas tend to result in a leaking of urine through the vagina. At

surgery, a mass of scar tissue was observed between the uterus and the bladder. A surgical net was placed

between the cervix and the bladder. Recovery was complete. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT2T 1033-06)
