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

A new abortion law took effect in the Czech Republic on January 1, 1987, that resulted in the increase of abortions.

In 1989 in the Czech Republic there were 10.6 abortions and 12.4 births/1000 inhabitants and 85.2 induced

abortions/100 births. In Slovakia there were 9.1 abortions and 15.2 births/1000 inhabitants and 59.8 abortions/100

births. For the whole country the respective figures were 10.1, 13.3, and 75.4. In 1989 in the Czech Republic there

were 351,119 IUD users, 107,792 oral contraceptive (OC) users, and 20.7 IUD and OC users out of 100 women in the

reproductive age range of 15-44. In Slovakia the respective figures were 142,733, 33,600, and 15.1; while for the

whole country they were 493,852, 141,392, and 18.8. At the obstetrical ward in Dacice with 11,000 women in

reproductive age, IUD insertions and OC prescriptions were instituted immediately after miniabortion as of 1988.

Most of these women were aged 25-30 with 2-3 children; 41% of them had at least 1 previous abortion. There were

216 induced abortions in 1986, 316 in 1987, 241 in 1988, 345 in 1989, and 244 in 1990. In these last 3 years there

were a total of 830 abortions. 761 of them were miniabortions: 344 of these women were inserted with an IUD

immediately after the abortion, and 71 received an OC prescription. 54.5% of the abortions were performed on an

outpatient basis. The number of induced abortions/100 births decreased from 59.3 in 1989 to 42.4 in 1990. DANA

Super Lux, DANA Cuprum, and BIUD Cu 300 type IUDs were inserted. Neogest was the 1st-choice and a limited

number of Trisiston pills were also prescribed. IUD complications included a 1.4% failure rate, a 3.6% expulsion

rate, a 3.9% removal rate because of bleeding or pain, while the rest continued IUD use. The insertion of IUDs and

the prescription of OCs immediately after abortion reduced the high number of repeated abortions and raised the use

of contraception. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT3T 1535-06)
