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

The association of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) with contraceptive use studied in 200 patients undergoing

transvaginal tubal sterilization. PID was observed in 28 (28%) of 101 patients using the Lippes loop IUD, in 3 (4%) of

73 users of hormonal contraception (various oral contraceptives and Depo-Provera), and in none of those not

practicing contraception. The results suggest that the risk of PID is greater among IUD users, and that the risk

increases with the duration of use. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT7T 3038-06)
