Family Planning Laboratory Review of Factors Affecting the Choice of Contraceptive Methods in Three Teenagers Populations in Thrace, Greece

Abstract

Contraception was applied for decades on an empirical basis but the discovery of contraceptive pills has brought a real revolution on this field because with the use of scientific techniques, we managed to prevent ovulation which is the cornerstone of reproduction. [1,2]. Since the AIDS outbreak, the use of contraceptive pills has decreased due to the fact that they do not offer any protection against sexually transmitted diseases [3,4]. On the other hand, barrier contraception which offers protection against STDs prevents direct contact. Birth control pill continues to be a unique scientific achievement and at the same time an invaluable contribution to every woman, which if combined with intrauterine devices creates a protective shield to unwanted pregnancy [3-5]. The clinical application of oral contraception dates back to the 1960s, but its history goes back to the early 20th century, when experimental data showed that the ovaries were organs with hormonal activity [3-5].
