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

To study the effect of an IUD on the rate of regeneration of rabbit endometrium, an area of endometrium was excised

from both horns of 52 rabbit uteri. One horn of each uterus was fitted with an IUD, the other serving as a control. 36

animals survived for histological study. The progress of regeneration was the same in both horns for the first 2 days.

Between Day 3 and Day 8, regeneration in the horn with the IUD was slowed in all components of the mucosa.

Regeneration in the horn without the IUD was completed by Day 3. In the horn with the IUD, the mucosa was not

completely reepithelized until Day 8. By Day 14, both horns showed complete regeneration. While experimental

results in the rabbit cannot be correlated to the human, it should be considered that bleeding in IUD users may be

caused by delayed regeneration in those areas of the endometrium directly in contact with the IUD. (PubHealth.info
