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. |

| A study of 1599 women between 18 and 40 years of age using 9 kinds of oral contraceptives (OCs) between January |
| 1965 and December 1967 in a hospital in Bangkok revealed the following information: 1) only 18.7% of users had ever |
| practiced contraception; 2) OCs were as well accepted as IUDs without failures during 11,608 cycles; 3) the |
| decrease in menstrual flow is less significant among sequential users and even increases after the 1st cycle; 4) |
| cycle length is always regular and is longer in sequential therapy; 5) amenorrhea, spotting and breakthrough |
| bleeding, and nausea occurred .1-1.9%, .63%, and 20.2-39.9%, respectively; 6) weight gain occurred in both |
| combined and sequential users; 7) negative Papanicolaou smears were found yearly; and 8) after the end of the 3rd |
| year 71.4% were actively using OCs, 7.4% had discontinued use, 2.1% were released to follow-up, and 18.9% lost to |
| follow-up These figures indicate that oral contraception is one of the most acceptable, simple, safe, and effective |
| methods available in Thailand. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT9T 1022-06) |
