Planning of pregnancy by using contraceptives and the intervention used to reduce

the chance of pregnancy after coitus is how the author of this article perceives the
use of contraceptives. They are typically grouped as hormonal (such as progestin-only
pills or estrogen-progestin patches) or nonhormonal (condoms, diaphragms), and long-
acting (such as intrauterine devices [IUDs]) or short-acting (such as pills). Limitations
of this article are some aspects of contraception, such as counseling, non-
contraceptive health benefits, ongoing contraceptive innovations, and the effect of
cultural values, and patient preferences. Choosing a contraceptive pill frequently
relies on patient experience because comparative effectiveness studies that clearly
indicate the superiority of one contraceptive pill formulation over another are
missing. The most widely used reversible contraceptives include oral contraceptive
pills, IUDs, and subdermal implants, whereas progestin-only and nonhormonal
treatments offer the lowest risks and the highest effectiveness. The best
contraceptive choice takes into account the values and desires of the user.

According to the author, the availability of contraceptive methods in the Philippines will not only
empower the female population but also raise everyone's standard of living. According to Juan
Antonio Perez III, executive director of PopCom, the Covid-19 outbreak has seriously hampered
access to and awareness of the wide-ranging advantages of contraception. He added that we should
encourage family planning and provide Filipinos with access to contraceptives. They worked to raise
awareness of the provisions of Republic Act 10354, often known as the Responsible Parenthood and
Reproductive Health Law, in collaboration with the DOH and Bayer Philippines Inc.
Evangelista said that educating and enabling women to make knowledgeable decisions will improve
their quality of live.

Oral contraceptives (birth control pills) and cancer risk. National Cancer Institute. (n.d.).

Oral contraceptives, according to the author, prevent pregnancy by preventing ovulation and sperm
penetration. Observational study results cannot conclusively prove that oral contraceptives cause or
prevent cancer since other factors may account for variations in cancer risk. In particular, those who
have used oral contraceptives for a long time have an increased chance of developing cancer. Breast
cancer, cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer, and colorectal cancer are among the
cancers that are at risk. Because oral contraceptives contain synthetic versions of female hormones
(estrogen and progesterone), which may raise the risk of cancer, the author claimed that they also
include cancers. Oral contraceptives may reduce the chances of some malignancies in a number of
ways, according to research. These include ovulating less frequently over a woman's lifetime and
inhibiting the growth of endometrial cells.
