Abstract:
Introduction: Emergency contraception is a contraceptive method used to prevent unwanted pregnancy in the first few days after unprotected sexual intercourse or contraceptive failure/accident. Many women are unaware of the existence of emergency contraception, misunderstand its use and safety, or do not use it when needed.

 Aims: To assess the knowledge regarding emergency contraceptive pills, family planning and their prevalence.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Oral contraceptive pills have been a cornerstone of contraception for more than 6 decades. Oral contraceptives are highly effective in preventing unintended pregnancy, making them the most utilized reversible contraceptive method. Daily oral contraceptive pills have traditionally required a prescription from a healthcare provider due to potential risks and adverse reactions associated with use. The need for prescription creates significant barriers to accessibility and convenience for patients who may resort to less effective but more readily available nonprescription methods. Opill®

Contraception is often a taken-for-granted element of actively heterosexual women’s lives. Yet while modern contraceptives have technically enhanced women’s ability to control their fertility, the history of women’s struggles to achieve this control shows the importance of understanding the social context within which women’s contraceptive decisions are situated. Previous feminist studies of contraception in the UK have tended to concentrate either on aspects of medicine or on heterosexuality.

Abstract:
The haemostatic system was investigated in 26 women taking cyclically administered triphasic combined oral contraceptives for the first time during their first six cycles. Fourteen women received Logynon (mean dose 32.4μg ethinyloestradiol, 92pg progestagen) and 12 received SHD 415G (Schering) which contains a mean dosage of 32.4μg ethinyloestradiol and 78pg gestodene, a recently developed progesterone. The Logynon group showed a significant increase (p&lt;0.005) in fibrinogen (pre-mean 284.4 g/1; after 1 cycle 347.3 g/1, after 6 cycles 318.6 g/1) , factor VII (65.8 u/1 to 73.9 u/1 to 83.2 u/1

Abstract:
Key Points Publicly supported family planning clinics play a crucial role in the health care system, providing essential contraceptive services to millions of people every year.

The proportion of clinics offering a wide range of contraceptive services on-site has remained relatively stable since 2015. However, provision of implants has increased, while the number of clinics offering fertility awareness–based methods and emergency con

Abstract:
The intent of this study is to identify and compare sociocultural barriers in various geographic regions that impede access, type and use of hormonal contraception, and methods to improve restrictions in access. Understanding and addressing sociocultural barriers to hormonal contraception on a larger intercontinental scale can create a more effective and inclusive healthcare system. A search using PubMed, Cochrane, and Embase was conducted on current and past literature performed in various developmental countries. Terms such as “birth control access AND developed nations”, “barriers of hormon

Abstract:
Nearly all women in the United States who have ever had sexual intercourse have used a contraceptive method at some point during their reproductive years. Estimates presented in this report, which come from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), highlight differences in the most effective contraceptive method used at last sex among U.S. women aged 18–49 who are at risk of pregnancy (i.e., those who are sexually active with one or more male partners, are not pregnant or postpartum, and have not had a hysterectomy). In every state, the majority of women of reproductive age are u
