Family planning

Family planning is when a couple plans when to have children and how many to have.

There are two main types of methods:

1. Natural/Traditional method

2. Modern contraceptive method


Natural/Traditional Methods:

· Breastfeeding: The prolactin hormone can stop ovulation and prevent pregnancy.

· Abstinence: Stopping sexual intercourse for a time.

· Calendar method: Uses calculation of a woman's regular cycle.

· Withdrawal: The man pulls out so sperm does not enter the vagina.


Modern Contraceptive Methods:

· Spacing methods: Used to delay pregnancy. Examples: medications, IUDs, condoms.

· Terminal methods: Permanent sterilization. For men (vasectomy) and for women (tube ligation).
