Week 9 discussion

Birth Control

The topic and discussion of birth control has been reignited
due to the Affordable Health Care Act (ObamaCare) passage. Research the concept
and various methods/techniques of birth control. Also research statistical data
on teen pregnancies across the United States and within your state. Are you
surprised by the teen pregnancy rates within the United States and your state?
Why or why not?

Should birth control products be free to anyone who wants to
use it? Should birth control products, such as condoms, birth control pills and
patches, be readily available for teenagers without a parent’s knowledge or
consent? Why or why not? If so, at what age? Justify your reasoning and
opinions with your research.

The kinds of birth control that work the best to prevent pregnancy are the implant and IUDs — they’re also the most convenient to use, and the most foolproof. Other birth control methods, like the pill, ring, patch, and shot, are also really good at preventing pregnancy if you use them perfectly.

What does birth control do?
Hormones in birth control pills prevent pregnancy by: Stopping or reducing ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary). Thickening cervical mucus to keep sperm from entering the uterus. Thinning the lining of the uterus so that a fertilized egg is less likely to attach.

Even though birth control pills are very safe, using the combination pill can slightly increase your risk of health problems. Complications are rare, but they can be serious. These include heart attack, stroke, blood clots, and liver tumors. In very rare cases, they can lead to death.

It’s rare, but some women do gain a little bit of weight when they start taking birth control pills. It’s often a temporary side effect that’s due to fluid retention, not extra fat. A review of 44 studies showed no evidence that birth control pills caused weight gain in most women.
