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

Described is a new method of natural family planning, which is based on a plastic device that measures the amount

of urine and monitors the progression of the menstrual cycle. Lights next to the LCD display include a red light (high

value), a yellow light (medium value), and a green light (low value). This device is suitable mostly for women who

cannot use other methods of contraception, and it is 94% effective if the instructions and rules for its use are

adhered to. Its use is described in detail, with instructions on which buttons to press after menstruation starts to

analyze urine samples on 8 occasions during a cycle. A yellow light indicates the uncertain state of the fertile stage,

when urine has to be tested. This method is best suited for women who have a regular cycle (23-35 days); it is not

suited for lactating women, women who are taking other hormonal preparations, or menopausal women. It does not

prevent pregnancy, and when the red light comes on, it is important to use a contraceptive. (PubHealth.info
