PubHealth.info® (a subsidiary of PakMed) presents scientific information mainly based on abstracts of articles published on a variety of public health issues/topics, particularly encompassing population planning, disease prevention, maternal and child health, and communicable and non-communicable diseases (like HIV AIDS, malaria, etc) that are affecting a significant portion of population in developing and developed countries. Here you can find abstracts of articles published on a variety of public health topics under category "Contraception (Birth Control) and Family Planning". 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 study of uterine perforation by Copper-T and Copper-7 IUDs is described. 6 perforations out of 1153 insertions of

the Copper-T at The New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center in New York and 3 perforations out of 1156 insertions

at the Bollnas Hospital in Sweden are described. This study indicates a high incidence of perforation. Design of

the device has much to do with the risk of perforation. Risk seems to be less if the device conforms to the uterine

cavity. Perforation is primary when related to the insertion procedure and secondary when caused by uterine

contractions. The Copper-T tends to perforate the cervix and the Copper-7 tends to perforate the uterine wall. The

diagnosis of uterine perforation with IUDs is difficult but important. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT7T 3040-06)
