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

121 cases of photodermatoses were studied. In 6 of the cases, 4 of which were polymorphic light eruptionlike

dermatosis and 2 of which were pophyria cutanea, long-term use of oral contraceptives (OCs) preceded their

appearance. The results of laboratory tests for porphyrin suggested that the hepatotoxicity of estrogens in OCs affect

not only the pathomechanism of porphyria, but also the clinical picture of polymorphic light eruption. (PubHealth.info
