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

291 nonpregnant women, 104 using oral contraceptive agents (OCAs), were examined for vaginal Candida albicans

and beta-hemolytic streptococci for up to 2 years. There was no significant difference in the incidence of C.

albicans in the first and final samples and patients using OCAs were not significantly more liable to infection with

the yeast. Patients who had C. albicans on first sampling were significantly (p<.003) more likely to have a

persistence of this organism a year later. This same persistence was seen in women infected with beta-hemolytic

streptococci. There was a significant (p<.003) association between the presence of beta-hemolytic strep groups B,

D, and C and C. albicans. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT9T 13-06)
