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

The prospect of increasing the incidence of continued oral contraceptive (OC) users led to a planned study in which

100 women were given OCs for 1 year. Follow up occurred monthly for the first 3 months and was thereafter 3-

monthly. Patients obtaining special attention could continue the pills for a longer duration and had minimum

medical problems compared with those where individual attention was lacking. The difference lay presumably in

prompt attention towards any trouble and the correct selection of pills. The survey indicates that the success of OCs

depends on good educational status of the patients, special individual attention by the doctor, proper appraisal for

the correct pill regimen, and frequent follow-up visits. Prompt discovery and treatment of any trouble can prevent

disappointment and disillusionment with this method of contraception. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT7T 2545-
