Contraception
CONTRACEPTION
What is contraception?
Contraception is the means to avoid pregnancy. It may be achieved by use of either contraceptive devices of by natural abstinence.

Which are the commonly used contraceptives?
Oral contraceptive pills (OCP) and condoms are the most reliable and commonly used contraceptive methods.

What are the natural ways of contraception?
Natural ways include abstinence from sex, timing sexual intercourse with menstrual cycle (avoiding in mid cycle as that is the time the egg is released from the ovary and that is the time chances of pregnancy are highest) or withdrawing the penis from the vagina before ejaculation.

Are there any operations to ensure contraception?
Operative procedures like tubectomy (cutting the Fallopian tube that carries the egg from the ovary to uterus) in females and vasectomy in males (tube that carries the sperm) serve as permanent contraceptive measures and offer 100% protection.

Care of Mother During Pregnancy
Antenatal care is not only to ensure the good health of mother during pregnancy and childbirth, but also to ensure good health of the baby on birth.

As soon as a woman misses per period and she suspects that she is pregnant, a woman should visit a doctor. During the first visit, the doctor will take a detailed history and do a thorough clinical examination. Pregnancy may be confirmed by a urine test.
