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

Results of a survey of 347 women (15-47 years old) on sex education and contraception, carried out by the Social

Medicine Service of the University Gynecology Clinic, Basel, Switzerland, are reported. Although 54% considered

oral contraceptives the contraceptive method of choice, there was considerable hesitation about using this method

because of the side effects, reflected in the continuation rate after 1 year of 50-60%. The authors recommended that

1) oral contraceptives not be prescribed for women with irregular cycles, under certain medications, or with abnormal

Pap smears; 2) only minidose oral contraceptives be presecribed for adolescents; 3) patients who cannot use oral

contraceptives be treated with the IUD; and 4) social and medical aspects of sterilization be discussed with both

partners before it is performed. Family planning services, closely linked to clinics, fill urgent needs for patients and

physicians. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT7T 2554-06)
