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.

ABSTRACT

Hormonal steroids used orally as contraceptives modify the hypothalamus-hypophysis-ovary system, inhibiting

ovulation. The mechanism of action of this phenomenon is still unclear. The morphological alterations induced in

the ovary by these agents are characterized by the absence of ovulation and the formation of corpus lu teum.

However, this depends on the dose that is administered. With smaller doses (microdoses) ovulation frequently

persists, but the luteous function is altered. Under such circumstances, apparently inactive luteinized structures

have been found. The possibility of causing fibrosis of the ovary by prolonged use of substances preventing

ovulation must be considered. Findings in this respect disagree and are inconclusive, and the problem requires

further study. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT8T 4588-06)
