Description
Contraception and family planning are methods used by sexually active individuals and couples to prevent pregnancy.
Reasons for using contraception or birth control include personal desires (to never have children, postpone having children, or stop having children); medical conditions that could threaten maternal, fetal, or infant health (such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, HIV infection); and social concerns regarding the effects of an increasing population on the environment.
