I am in agreement with my classmate that contraception involves estrogen and progesterone hormones. The said hormones are effective at preventing pregnancy given that they prevent ovulation and cause the cervical mucus to thicken (1). As highlighted by my classmate, the said contraceptives are hormonal. Therefore, taking contraceptives such as contraceptive pills, contraceptive skin patch, vaginal ring, and the birth control pill (2) contraceptives may have various effects. Apart from migraines, use of contraceptives is associated with various side effects which are inclusive of, but they are not limited to; eye changes, vaginal discharge, decreased libido, missed periods, mood swings, weight gain, breast swellings, nausea, and spotting between periods (1). The said effects tend to have minor effects on the body. This is more so the case given that they appear at the beginning of the cycle and disappear after some time (2). For instance, weight gain is a common effect of the use of contraceptives. It is believed that contraceptives increases the rate at which water is retained in the body. In addition, the said contraceptives lead to increased muscle mass or fat in the body thus leading to weight gain (1). Studies suggest that women who take contraceptives...…The said decrease if often caused by increased levels of globulin which happens to be a sex-binding hormone. Essentially, globulin hormone lowers the levels of free testosterone (1). Side effects caused by migraines are in some instances extensive. This is more so the case given that migraines caused by contraceptives occur in various episodes. Essentially, migraines occur even after ovulation has been suppressed. On the other hand, the effects associated with weight gain and mood swings can be suppressed, and the said effects can disappear after continued use of contraception. In addition, the effects of weight gain can be reduced through…

Two of them are recommended agents of STI (Sexually Transmitted Infection) or HIV transmission prevention: dental dams and condoms Centchroman is a "Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator, or SERM. It causes ovulation to occur asynchronously with the formation of the uterine lining, preventing implantation of a zygote. It has been widely available as a birth control method in India since the early 90s, marketed under the trade names Centron® and Saheli®.
Contraception, With Statistical Analysis Contraception is the name for those medical strategies employed to prevent a woman from becoming pregnant after sexual intercourse. It can be broken down according to the strategy employed: these strategies are loosely called Barrier methods, Intrauterine devices, Hormonal methods, Surgical methods (also known more commonly as "sterilization") and finally Behavioral methods. I will give a quick survey of what these different strategies entail, noting the most
The morality of their behavior does not depend on mere sincere intention and motives only. They need to consider external criteria, which involve the person and his acts, which must include mutual self-giving. Human procreation must remain within the context of true love. This would be possible only within the confines of married chastity with sincerity of heart. Periodic continence or non-performance of the sexual act can regulate conception
This last disadvantage does seem to decrease with longer use but can be as long as 20 full days of spotting mid cycle with the first cycle. (Paulo Alto Medical Foundation Website "Seasonale" 2003) Cost of Seasonale, brand medication runs between 160 and 180 dollars per 91 day packet, which works out to be about twice as expensive as typical COCs that are formulated on a 28 day cycle, though
Edward Green, a senior research scientist at Harvard and the director of the Aids Prevention Research Project states "the safer people feel when engaging in risky behavior, the more likely they are to increase that behavior" (Gross & Looby, 2010, p. 64). These conflicting results, from two purported experts, presents the dilemma faced by parents and administrators. Neither side can justify (on science alone) their side, and so the rhetoric
Conclusion The recommendation for the safest, most practical contraceptive device today's woman should consider would be the IUD. The choice between the ParaGard and the Mirena product should be up to the woman and her physician, once a good bit of research is conducted by the woman, and questions are asked of her doctor. If a device can be implanted and be effective for up to 10 years, and not have
