Subject: birth control info Author: huggy [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 12/11/02 12:18am I just thought I would take some space up on this forum with information about the pill, yo. The Pill is America's most popular reversible contraceptive Millions of women use the Pill because it is convenient, reliable, and safe. It can be more than 99 percent effective — depending on how correctly it is used. It is safer than pregnancy and childbirth for nonsmoking women of all ages. Access to the Pill has improved women's health worldwide. Before the Pill, poor health in women was commonly due to having too many unintended pregnancies too close together. Now women can space their children or choose to remain childless. In 1960, three years before the Pill became available, nearly 1,600 U.S. women died of complications associated with childbirth. By 1991, advances in reproductive technology, including the Pill and safe and legal abortion, reduced the number of maternal deaths to 323. The Pill offers many health benefits, including some protection against uncomfortable and irregular periods premenstrual syndrome pelvic inflammatory disease, which commonly leads to infertility tubal pregnancy non-cancerous breast growths ovarian cysts cancer of the ovaries cancer of the lining of the uterus iron deficiency anemia perimenopausal vaginal dryness and painful intercourse acne In fact, protection against cancer of the ovaries or the lining of the uterus can last 15 years after stopping the Pill. The Pill may also offer some protection against osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis. plannedparenthood.org [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
