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.

ABSTRACT

Although a number of risk factors for ectopic pregnancy are now well established, the factors influencing recurrent

ectopic pregnancy are less known. The rate of recurrence has been estimated in different series at 8% to 27%.

Data from the Register of Extrauterine Pregnancies in Auvergne, France, were used to study the characteristics of the

96 women treated for recurrent ectopic pregnancy between January 1992, when the register was established, and

December 1995. The 566 multiparous women in the register who had no previous ectopic pregnancies served as

controls. Risk factors associated with treatment of the previous ectopic pregnancy could not be studied with the

available data. Among factors found to increase risk of recurrence were previous proven or suspected salpingitis

(odds ratio = 3.6), smoking (OR = 1.4 for 1-9 cigarettes and 1.7 for 10 or more cigarettes daily), maternal age over 30

(OR = 2.0), and history of recurring spontaneous abortion (OR = 1.6 for 1 spontaneous abortion and 3.1 for 2 or more).

Among childless women, the OR was 3.4 for 1 previous spontaneous abortion and 11.9 for 2 or more). A common

factor, unidentified as yet, may be responsible for both recurrent spontaneous abortion and recurrent ectopic

pregnancy. Previous IUD use is associated with reduced risk of recurring ectopic pregnancy (OR = 0.27), but the

finding may be biased by the fact that IUD use is avoided in women at apparent risk of ectopic pregnancy.
