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 contraceptive action of combinations of estrogens and progestogens is primarily the result of the inhibition of

ovulation, although it remains to be clarified whether such action affects the hypothalamus-hypophysis or the ovary

directly. The results of many tests are contradictory. The effect of the continuous administration of progestational

substances in microdoses, however, does not consist primarily in the inhibition of ovulation, but probably in the

modification of other factors, such as sperm movement, endocervical mucus, endometrium, uterine and tubal

motility and the movement of ovules and spermatozoids. The contraceptive efficacy of this method has been proved

to be similar to that of other known methods, with the advan tage that side effects are much less frequent.
