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

Correlations between oral contraceptives and headache and between oral contraceptives and blood vessel changes

in the endometrium and retina were studied. Of 215 women treated with oral contraceptives, 70 complained of

headaches for the 1st time during treatment. Of 75 women with a history of migraine treated with oral contraceptives,

37 reported a worsening of the condition, 9 reported improvement, and 29 reported no change. Correlation of

endometrial arteriole development with headache incidence showed that the preparations that were associated with

the highest incidence of headaches also were associated with development of the endometrial arterioles; this effect

appeared to be dose dependent. No similar changes of retinal circulation were found, which suggests that

endometrial tissue is more sensitive to these substances. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT8T 575-06)
