Study Notes
Reproductive Health
- Family planning encompasses practices aiding individuals in achieving specific goals:
- Avoiding unwanted births
- Achieving desired births
- Regulating intervals between pregnancies
- Determining family size
- India pioneered family planning in 1951, transitioning to family welfare programs in 1977, emphasizing improved quality of life through reproduction and child health care.
- Slogans like "Do Ya Teen Bas" (1970) and "Sons or Daughter-Two will do" (1980) promoted smaller families.
Contraceptive Methods
-
Contraceptives prevent unwanted pregnancies.
- Temporary/Spacing Methods:
- Chemical Methods: utilize chemicals (spermicides) to kill sperm. Example: vaginal foam, creams, jellies
- Barrier Methods: prevent physical contact between sperm and ovum.
- Male Condoms: sheath covering the penis
- Female Condoms: sheath covering the vagina
- Terminal Methods: surgical procedures permanently preventing conception.
- Male Sterilization (vasectomy): blocking vas deferens
- Female Sterilization (tubectomy): blocking fallopian tubes
- Temporary/Spacing Methods:
-
Intrauterine Devices (IUDs): Devices placed in the uterus to prevent pregnancy
- Non-medicated IUDs: promote phagocytosis of sperm.
- Copper releasing IUDs: Release copper ions to suppress sperm motility
- Hormone releasing IUDs: Make uterus unsuitable for implantation, hostile towards sperm
-
Hormonal Methods: use hormones to prevent ovulation
- Oral Contraceptives: pills containing hormones
- Injections: deliver hormones through injections
- Implants: place hormone releasing implants
-
Emergency Contraceptives: used within 72 hours of unprotected sex to prevent pregnancy
-
Natural Methods: avoid intercourse during fertile period (rhythm method) or withdrawal method
Infertility
- Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after one year of unprotected sexual intercourse
- Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ARTs) address infertility by aiding conception outside the body, involving transfer of embryos into the uterus (invitro).
- Methods include in-vitro fertilization (IVF), zygote intra fallopian transfer (ZIFT), gamete intra fallopian transfer (GIFT), and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).
Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP)
