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

A group of 422 women, involving 5747 woman-months of use, who had IUD insertions at the Outpatient Clinic of the

University of Oulu, Finland, between November 1965-October 1967, were studied. Lippes loops, Birnberg bows, and

Margulies coils were inserted in that order of frequency. The number of complications was high. Expulsion occurred

in 6.6% of the cases, most in the coil group and least in the bow group. 11.2% of the women requested removal,

usually during the 1st year. The most removals occurred with coils and most were due to bleeding and/or pain.

Almost 7% of the women became pregnant, especially those wearing bows. Despite the high complication rate, 93%

of the women expressed satisfaction with the method. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT9T 1026-06)
