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®. It is not legally available anywhere outside of India, and it is not in the process of becoming available in the United States" (Birth control, Wikipedia, 2006) intrauterine methods- women that are looking for a birth control method that they can use and forget it may want to consider the IUD.

Contraception, ith 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 common or popular methods within each category, as enumerated in Trussell's (1998) statistical survey of contraception. I will then discuss these individual methods in a little more detail, noting not merely the medical "safety" (measured in terms of risks or contraindications, and also measured according to the statistical analysis by Trussell which I have reproduced at the end of this work as Figure 1.)

Barrier methods are the simplest mechanical means of preventing a sperm cell from fertilizing an egg cell….

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 the natural way. It is based on self-observation and the use of infertile periods. These conform to the objective criteria of morality and allowed by the Church for married Christian couples. They respect the bodies of the spouses, encourage warmth and tenderness for each other and enhance authentic freedom. In contrast, every act in anticipation of the conjugal act or of its accomplishment, which is the development of its natural consequences, whether as an end or as a means, to….

contraception in accordance with your needs is associate with physical and mental well-being throughout the lifespan.
Although the argument can be made that people are never truly ready to have children, it is clear that timing is everything for humans when it comes to reproduction. Unplanned teen pregnancies create a vicious cycle of welfare motherhood that is difficult to break unless contraception is used to prevent these pregnancies in the first place. Using contraceptives responsibly can clearly contribute to the mental well-being of single young people who enjoy sex but do not want the lifelong responsibility of children yet. It is reasonable to suggest that a single young mother with three or four screaming babies and infants will not enjoy the same level of mental and physical well-being at their peers with no children, and the demands associated with raising these children to adulthood never really go away entirely but….

Contraception Education for Child-bearing Women Who Speak Primarily Chinese or Cantonese and receive GYN Services at a private OB/GYN Outpatient Clinic Introduction to the Practice Problem
Contraception use varies between people. Often time there is a link between education and proper contraception use. At the private OB/GYN Outpatient Clinic, women are receiving verbal education on contraception use as there exists no language or culture barrier due to the homogenous nature of the staff and patients. Patients may require additional materials to understand proper contraception use.
Problem Statement
Some contend verbal education of contraception use may not be enough regarding contraception counseling. EBP standardized contraception counseling allows for the use of cue cards and the option of giving a booklet or pamphlet for patients to take home. This is a great means of providing verbal and visual education that will provide further reinforcement of information learned.
Description of Current Practice
The women within the private clinic are….

Proper contraception usage is one of the most important factors towards improving patient outcomes in the obstetrics and gynecology setting. The search of evidence in existing literature has demonstrated that contraception use differs among patient populations while there is a strong link between education and proper contraception use (Gosavi et al., 2016). The existing evidence has also shown that healthcare providers in the obstetrics and gynecology setting utilize various teaching tools to provide education to patients on contraception use. The teaching tools range from verbal education to visual education like cue cards and pamphlets for patients to take home and further reinforce information communicated in the clinic (Lee, 2014). However, there is need for additional materials and strategies for patients to understand proper contraception use. In essence, while the use of various teaching tools helps in enhancing patients’ knowledge, proper contraception usage requires the use of better strategies. Such strategies….

Publication Date: 2002

To determine whether or not prolonged use of oral contraceptives is associated with a greater difficulty in becoming pregnant or a delayed conception upon making the decision to become pregnant.

The sample consisted of 8497 planned pregnancies, or couples who were expecting the birth of a child. Participants were recruited over a 21-month period. The sample was drawn from an area in south-west England.

The study employed a prospective design in which participants completed questionnaires at 18 weeks of gestation. Questionnaires included details about parity, paternity, co-habitation, oral contraceptive use, smoking and alcohol status, educational achievement, height, weight and the amount of time it took for the couples to conceive.

Results:

The results of the study indicated that despite concerns about the impact….

Technology and politics analytic reflection: MDG
What is the MDG that can be met through technological development, innovation or implementation?

One of the millennium development goals of the UN is to improve maternal health. This goal does not simply encompass reducing childhood mortality rates but also means increasing access to contraception and other aspects of women's health such as sanitary napkins, women-specific healthcare and even education, given that increased levels of education have been linked to lower birthrates and the improved status of women ("Goal 5," 2015; Martin & Juarez 1995).

What is the technological artifact and how does it meet the MDG you identified?

One technological artifact which could have a major impact upon women's lives is that of the condom. Condoms can both act as an effective forms of birth control when used correctly and are also extremely helpful in fighting STDs. A new company, L. Condoms, has specifically been created to….

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….

5 mg of levonorgestrel each. The first dose is taken within 72 hours followed by the second dose 12 hours later. This method was first developed by Yuzpe and Lancee in 1977 and hence the name.
The most common problems associated with these pills are minor side effects such as nausea and vomiting reported in 50% and 20% of women respectively. [5] the long-term effects are unknown since not much data is available however it is believed that consistent long-term use may cause both arterial disease (myocardial infarction and cerebrovascular accident) [6] and venous disease (deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism). [7]

Emergency contraception pills are more widely available in developed countries compared to developing countries where access to these pills is still limited. Not all of these pills are yet licensed in the United States as well but the FDA approved the six common brands since they were found effective for….

Ancient Egyptian Gynecology
In ancient Egypt, sex was open and untainted by guilt. It was considered an important part of life and both single and married couples had sex. Ancient Egyptian religious shows signs of adultery, incest, homosexuality, masturbation and necrophilia. Masculinity and femininity were strongly linked with the ability to conceive and bear children.

Ancient Egyptians saw fertile women as the most attractive ones. A woman who had children was believed to be more fortunate than a woman without children. Similarly, men who bore children were seen as more masculine than those who did not.

The Egyptians enjoyed close family relationships in Egyptian mythology. The fact that they had no taboo against incest leads to the conclusion that incest may have been normal in ancient Egypt.

Egyptian men had false penises attached to their mummies while Egyptian women had artificial nipples attached. oth would become fully functional in the afterlife, where they were….

How can we expect our children to learn how to think critically if we do not teach them about sex?
Cheers to The Dallas News for pointing out the woeful inconsistencies and shortcomings in Texan state education. The majority of Texas school districts "either teach an abstinence-only health curriculum or avoid talking about sex altogether" and the result? Texas has one of the highest rates of teen pregnancy in the nation. When evidence proves that our methods are not working, it is time to change them. Some teens are blessed with parents who make up for their state's lack of sex education programs. Unfortunately, many Texan teens remain ignorant at the behest of irresponsible parents. If withholding medical treatment for minors is against the law, then so too should withholding access to information about safe sex.

Finally, I would like to add that young people have a right to information: to….

How Emergency Contraception Works to Prevent Pregnancy

Emergency contraceptives are drugs used to prevent pregnancy after women indulges in unprotected sex. There is a slight difference between birth control methods and use of contraceptives in preventing unplanned pregnancy.
