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

An interview approach and a preliminary method of evaluation of side effects related to the use of oral or intrauterine

contraceptives in relation to meaningful control data were discussed. Between 1961 and 1967, 9207 oral

contraceptive patients were interviewed after each treatment cycle for a total of 165,741 cycles. During 1966 1064

IUD users were questioned in the same manner ("How was your period?" and "How were you otherwise?"). The

incidences of various systemic and gynecologic complaints for each group were compared. For some symptoms

one or the other figure could be used as an estimate of "placebo" frequency. The figures revealed that nausea may

occur in oral contraceptive users independent of the medication, since IUD users complained of nausea with a

frequency of 1.1 per 100 cycles near the frequency of 1.4 per 100 cycles for oral contraceptive users. It is assumed

that nausea is unrelated to the presence of the IUD. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT9T 1091-06)
