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

Though as of yet no increase in the incidence of infants with congenital malformations or chromosomal anomalies

has been detected in conceptions following steroid contraceptive treatments, more subtle undertakings may reveal

problems hitherto unknown. 2 Canadian studies noted, respectively, an increase of growth disorganizations in

embryos from spontaneous abortions and an increase in triploid fetuses. The conventional hypothesis advanced to

explain possible genetic effects of steroid contraceptives involves the consequences of an abnormal maturation of

the ovum. The authors criticize past human studies for 1) retrospective aspect, 2) small sample size, 3) lack of

reasonable control group, 4) varying aspect of contraceptives during study, and 5) failure to indicate precise identity

of contraceptive used. The authors review a number of human studies dealing with 1) meiotic divisions of the ova,

2) fertility, and 3) material seen upon abortion, spontaneous or therapeutic. The authors devote some space to their

own work dealing with chromosomal aberrations in spontaneous abortion. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT8T
