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. |

| Pure gestagen, chlormadinone acetate, in .5 mg pills was tried as an oral non-stop contraceptive medication with |
| one pill a day by altogether 194 women (around 2000 months of exposure). The pills was tolerated well and the side |
| effects were few. The greatest disadvantage of the method is that it produces irregular bleedings, mainly "spotting", |
| which for medical reasons caused 15% of the women, mainly young ones, to stop taking the pills. Three undesired |
| pregnancies occurred. Two because the patients had occasionally forgotten to take the pills and one despite correct |
| use of the method. The method is simple, and if the pill is taken regularly, it is reasonably reliable. Most women |
| tolerate the pill exceedlingly well and it can therefore be recommended as an alternative for women who cannot |
| tolerate the classical contraceptive pills in the form of combined or sequential types of preparations. The absence |
| of oestrogen implies interesting potential advantages of this type of oral contraceptive (probably decreased risk of |
| inter alia thrombo-embolism and affection of the liver). These advantages make this type of medication most |
| suitable for certain groups of patients. Though useful as an alternative in selected cases low-dose-gestagen-pills |
| hitherto available should not be used routinely instead of the present classical contraceptive pills.() (PubHealth.info |
