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

Tubal insufflation and kymogram recordings were made on 10 patients prior to the insertion of an intrauterine coil.

Approximately 1 month after the coil was inserted, repeat insufflations were performed. There were no significant

changes in the kymogram, and the tracings obtained in our study were indistinguishable from a normal pattern.

Cervical escape of gas did not present a difficulty. The insufflations were done at approximately the same time in

the cycle. Thus the contraceptive feature of IUDs is not apparently due to tubal spasm or mechanical obstruction at

the cornua. No conclusion can be drawn about tubal peristalsis inasmuch as uterotubal insufflation with carbon

dioxide cannot be sufficiently interpreted to read accurately moderate increases or decreases in tubal activity.
