Birth control

Birth control, also known as contraception  and fertility control, is a


method or device used to prevent pregnancy.

Also referred to as family planning, pregnancy prevention,


fertility control, or contraception; birth control methods are
designed either to prevent fertilization of an egg or implantation
of a fertilized egg in the uterus.
• The World Health Organisation and United States Centres for Disease
Control and Prevebtion provide guidance on the safety of birth
control methods among women with specific medical conditions.
Why birth control
• Even though the purpose of birth control is to prevent
pregnancy, many women choose to use contraception  because
of certain health advantages. For example, some hormonal birth
control methods may help regulate your period, reduce acne,
and/or lower endometriosis-related pain.
Contraception
• Contraception is defined as the intentional prevention of
conception through the use of various devices, sexual practices,
chemicals, drugs, or surgical procedures. Thus, any device or
act whose purpose is to prevent a woman from becoming
pregnant can be considered as a contraceptive.
