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 32-year-old mother of 3 who had taken .05 mg ethinyl estradiol and .5 mg norgestrel for 3 months had a severe right

thoracic pain of 2 weeks' duration, which was diagnosed as pulmonary arterial thrombosis and treated with high

doses of urokinase. She was first given 600 mg heparin/24 hours, then 300,000 U of urokinase over 12 hours. There

was some improvement, so urokinase was repeated and heparin continued. The patient was then asymptomatic,

but she was found to have hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia, insulinemia, and uricemia. She was well 6 months later

on a carbohydrate- and fat-controlled diet. High doses of urokinase are preferred by some who believe that urokinase

is thrombolytic in proportion to dose, well tolerated, and not antigenic. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT7T 3502-
