This section
will take a look at the subject of Birth Control. Other topics
that contain information for women can be found further down the
page.
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. Methods and intentions
typically termed birth control may be considered a pivotal ingredient
to family planning. Methods of birth control which may prevent
the implantation of an embryo if fertilization occurs are medically
considered to be contraception but characterized by some opponents
as abortifacients.
There are
a number of different ways to describe birth control.
We think
it's important for you to know about birth control methods available
today, even if you are not yet sexually active. Did you know that
25% of women who have intercourse without using a method of birth
control will become pregnant within one month and 85% will become
pregnant within one year. Choosing a birth control method is a
very personal decision, but one you might want to discuss with
your sexual partner. To choose which birth control method to use,
consider how well each one will work for you. The type of birth
control you choose depends on your needs. Some people only need
to prevent pregnancy. Talk with your family doctor about the pros
and cons of each birth control option.
Unfortunately,
birth control choice and usage, like all human risk taking behavior,
is not perfect. If you are sexually active and don't want to be
pregnant; use birth control and play it safer so you'll remain
unpregnant, and disease-free. For more information, contact the
nearest women's health clinic, Planned Parenthood, or public health
clinic. Most birth control pills are "combination pills" containing
a combination of the hormones estrogen and progesterone to prevent
ovulation (the release of an egg during the monthly cycle). Of
every 100 women who use one of these types of birth control for
a year, about 1 to 5 women will become pregnant. Other methods
of birth control, such as spermicide alone, female condoms, and
natural family planning, don't work as well. Some types of birth
control are available without a doctor's prescription.
