3. INTRODUCTION
Family planning is the term given for pre-pregnancy
planning and action to delay, prevent or actualize a
pregnancy.
DEFINITION:
Family planning is a way of thinking and living that is adopted
voluntarily, upon the bases of knowledge, attitude and

births.

5. OBJECTIVES FAMILY PLANNING
( WHO ) “the use of a range of methods of a fertility
regulation to help individuals or couples attain
certain objectives:
avoid unwanted birth.
bring about wanted birth.
Produce a change in the no. of children born.
Regulate the intervals betweenpregnancies.
Control time at which birthoccur.”

6. DEFINITION OF ELIGIBLE COUPLE-
•An eligible couple refers to a currently married
couple wherein the wife is in the reproductive
age, which is generally assumed to lie between
the ages of 15-45 years. There will be at least
150-180 such couples per 1000 populations in
India.

7. DEFINITION OF TARGET COUPLE
The term target couples are applied who have 2-3
living children, and family planning was largely
directed to such couples.

8. DEFINITION OF SMALL FAMILY NORM

provide the typeof education and homeenvironment.

15. Benefits to WholeFamily
Health
Benefits to Whole Family Health - help the family
enjoy the better kind of life.

16. CONCEPTION
It is the fertilization of a
female ovum by a male
sperm. Every 28 days, in an
adult female, one ovum
leaves the ovary and is
directed into fallopian tube
by the fimbriated end,
which passes along with
the tube.

17. CONTRACEPTION
it is the voluntary prevention of pregnancy, a
process with individual and social implications.
Contraception (birth control) prevents pregnancy
by interfering with the normal process of ovulation,
fertilization, and implantation. There are different
kinds of birth control that act at different points in
the process.

18. • Human fertilization i
s the union of a
human egg and
sperm, usually
occurring in the
ampulla of the
fallopian tube.

19. Characteristics of the ideal
contraceptive method would be:
highly effective;
no side effects or risks;
cheap;
independent of intercourse and requires no regular
action on the part of the user;
non-contraceptive benefits;
acceptable to all cultures and religions;
easily distributed and administrated by non
healthcare personnel.

29. INTRODUCTION OF NATURAL
FAMILY PLANNING
No introduction of chemical of foreign materialinto
the body.
Practice may bedue toreligious belief, “natural” way
is best forthem.
Effectivenessvaries greatly, depends on couplesability
torefrain from having intercourseon fertiledays.
 Failure Rates: about 25% Poses no risk to fetus

30. NATURAL FAMILY PLANNING
Rhythm (Calendar) method
Basal Body Temperature (BBT)
Ovulation or Cervical MucusMethod
Symptothermal method
Coitus Interruptus
Lactation amennorhea

31.  The rhythm method, also called the fertility
awareness method, is a form of pregnancy
prevention where couplescalculatea woman's fertile
time using a calendar.
 Abstaining from coituson thedaysof menstrual cycle
when a woman is most likely to conceive (3 or 4 days
before until 3 or 4 daysafterovulation). Woman keeps
a diary of 6 menstrualcycles.
RHYTHM (Calendar)
METHOD

32. This method may be used bywomen whose menstrual
cycles arealways between 26 and 32 days in length .
 Tocalculate:
18 from shortest cycle documented –11from
longestcycle = represents her last fertileday.
Example: If she has 6 menstrual cycles ranging from
25 to 29 days, fertile period would be from 7 th day (25-
18) to the 18 th day (29-11).Toavoid pregnancy, avoid
coitus/use contraceptive during thosedays.

39. . Basal Body Temperature (BBT)
Identifying fertile and infertile period of a woman’s
cycle bydaily taking and recording of the rise in body
temperature during and afterovulation.
 Just beforeovulation, a woman’s BBT fallsabout 0.5ºF
At time of ovulation, her BBT rises a full degree
(influence of progesterone). This higher level is
maintained the rest of menstrualcycle.

42. DISADVATAGES
 NOT reliable method: of birth control, especiallyfor
womenwith irregularcycles. Plus, outside factors,
such as a lack of sleep, can causeawoman’s
temperature tovary.

43.  Cervical mucus is a fluid produced by smallglands
near thecervix
 This fluid changes throughout her cycle, from
scantand sticky, tocloudy and thick, to slick and
stringy.
 Each of these types of mucus is related tothe
hormonal shifts that naturally occurduring
the menstrual cycleas her body prepares forand
achieves ovulation.
Cervical Mucus/Ovulation

44. Right before ovulation, the mucus from the cervix
changes from being cloudyand scanty to being clear
and slippery.
The consistency of ovulation mucus is like that of an
egg whiteand itcan be stretched between the fingers.
It is the peak of herfertility.
Afterthe ovulation, the mucus tends todry upagain.
Thesearealsosafe days.
Ideal Failure rate: 3%

45. DISADVANTAGES
 It is not a particularly reliable method of birth
control, especially forwomen with irregularcycles .
 Remember that cervical mucus does not let you know
whenyou will soon beovulating, butsperm can live up
to 4 days inside the vagina. Any sperm deposited
ahead of timecan still impregnate thewoman.

46. Symptothermal Method
Combines the cervical mucus and BBT methods
Watches temp. dailyand analyzes cervical mucusdaily.
Watch for midcycleabdominal pain Couple must
abstain from intercourseuntil 3 days afterrise in temp.
or 4 th dayafterpeak of mucuschange.
Moreeffective than BBT or CM method alone Ideal
Failure rate: 2%

47. COITUS INTERRUPTUS
 One of oldest known methods of contraception
Coupleproceedswith coitus until the momentof
ejaculation which Offers littleprotection.

49. LACTATION AMENNORRHEA
The lactation amenorrhea method (LAM) is a natural
birth control technique based on the fact that
lactation (breast milk production) causesamenorrhea
(lack of menstruation).

50. How itworks:
Breastfeeding interferes with the release ofthe
hormones needed to trigger ovulation.
ADVANTAGES:
Breastfeeding on demand improves health formother
and baby.
Nothing to buy or use.

53. DISADVANTAGES
 an use this method only for the first six monthsafter
birth oruntil the first menstrual period.
 LAM does not provideprotection against SEXUALLY
TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS.

(TODAY)
The sponge is a doughnut-shaped device madeof soft
foam coated withspermicide.
Made upof polyurethanewith 1gm of nonoxynol-9 as
a spermicide.
It releases spermicideduring coitus, absorbsejaculate
and blocks the entrance of cervicalcanal.
To use the sponge, it must be moistened with water.

It is mosteffective method its failure rate is 1/2000 so in
this there is permanent termination.
VASECTOMY:
Small incision made on each side of scrotum vas
deferens is then cutand tied , cauterized orplugged .
Blocking the passage ofspermatozoa.
Does not interferewith productionof sperms butdoes
not pass beyond vas deferens.

 DISADVANTAGES:
Slightly uncomfortabledue slightly pain and swelling
after 2-3 daysof theof the procedure .
Bleeding may result in the hematoma in scrotum .

101. TUBECTOMY :
It is oneof theoperative procedurewhere resectionof
a both segment of both fallopian tubes is done to
achieve permanentsterilization
The approach may be:
Abdominally
Vaginally

102.  ABDOMINAL
Ω CONVENTIONAL MINILAPROTOMY
Ω CONVENTIONAL:
In which a loop is made by holding the tube by Allis forceps in
such away that the majorpartof loopconsists mainlyof isthmus
and ampullary partof tube . the loop is ligated with catgutand is
cut .

103. MINILAPROTOMY:
When the tubectomy is done through small
abdominal incision along with somedevice .
VAGINAL LIGATION :
Tubectomythroughvaginal route may bedonealong
with vaginal plasticoperation oron isolation .

104. COMPLICATION :
