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

The endometrium and ovaries were studied in 95 patients who had a sterilizationn operation or hysterectomy after

introduction of an IUD at least 6 months previously, in order to elucidate the mechanism of action of the IUD. Ovaries

were resected from an area looking like a graffian follicle or corpus luteum and endometrium taken simultaneously.

The cases were divided into 4 groups: 1) 64 cases of tubal ligation done for menorrhagia or metrorrhagia; 2) 10

cases where tubal ligation was done for contraception; 3) 17 cases of hysterectomy for menorrhagia or metrorrhagia;

and 4) 4 cases where hysterectomy was done for reasons other than menstrual abnormality. 91 cases had regular

menstruation prior to IUD insertion but only 14 remained normal after insertion, the remaining developing menorrhagia

or polymenorrhea. 36.8% of the cases had proliferative endometrium, 17.6% had had corpus luteum and

hemorrhagic corpus luteum cysts. In the majority of cases of nonsecretory endometrium the ovaries contained corpus

luteum. It is suggested that the IUD brings local changes to the endometrium making it unreceptive to the

progestogenic hormone. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT9T 1074-06)
