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 simple Lippes loop was used in 2000 patients for 1-8 years, for a total of 50,366 months in situ as an IUD.

There were 115 accidental pregnancies, equivalent to a Pearl index of 2.73 (5.7%). There were 173 expulsions

(8.65%). Calcium deposits were low (13 cases) in comparison with other studies. Cervical cancer was diagnosed in

8 cases by vaginal cytology and confirmed by histopathological findings: the rate of .20/1000 women is lower than

that prevailing in the general population. Continued use was 55.6% after 5 years and 67.2% for the entire 8 years of

the study. Tolerance and efficacy are considered very good.(AUTHORS', MODIFIED) (PubHealth.info Document ID:
