Emergency
Contraception: This is method of preventing pregnancy after having
unprotected sexual intercourse or if you had a contraceptive accident or
misuse (such as condom breakage, failed coitus interruptus) and in case
of rape. There are two common methods which can be used in emergency
contraception:
a. Emergency contraceptive pills (ECPs)
b. Copper intra-uterine device (IUDs).
These
two methods must be used within few days of unprotected sexual
intercourse. They are safe for most women. The ECPs contain the same
hormones used in family planning pills but are used differently. They
either stop the release of the egg or prevent fertilization of an egg.
The IUDs immobilize sperms, slow down sperm movement, prevent
fertilization of the egg and cause changes in the uterine lining which
prevent pregnancy.
1.2 PROBLEM STATEMENT
It is
true that sexual education in most of our homes are poor, with the
belief that being sexually educated will make the student to be
promiscuous or to test what they have learnt. But we all know that our
society have overgrown such belief, and they will always have coitus,
whether they are educated or not. They will always be influenced by
their peer groups and those who are not yet exposed will learn the act
in a negative way. This being the case, the onus now rests on adults to
educate the teenage or early adult group on what the reproductive
organs stand for, the usage of contraceptives to reduce the incidence of
unwanted pregnancies or even infections in the reproductive system.
The need for this study is to stimulate parents and school authorities
to educate our younger generations to be well equipped with the
knowledge of family planning. Failure of this taking place will lead to
an increase in the number of unwanted pregnancies, sexually transmitted
diseases and undue population rise in the society.
