Family Planning

The way the population of the world is increasing it is likely that one day either we would have major scarcity of food and shelter or if we follow the process of constantly clearing jungles and provide food for the people in the world, we would over exhaust nature and that would lead to a grave natural disaster that might kill thousands of people. It has become a concern for the whole world now as to how to save the world from destruction and devastation that would be the consequence of over population. Individually all the countries in the world are taking up measures to limit and control the population of their country but then in most of the countries the rules are not rigid and the counter actions are not stern therefore the measures either have not been implemented well or in some cases have not been followed in a proper manner. Family planning has been the key word in the run for development which the third world have been suggested time and gain but then their lack of infrastructure to spread the awareness in these countries have let condition deteriorate. Here we would discuss about family planning and its role in world development.

Family Planning : Definition

Family planning implies that a couple discuss when and how many children they can have so that they can give the utmost care to the child, financially, psychologically and socially. In general usage we commonly associate terms like contraception and birth control with Family Planning but theoretically family planning is much more than that. Family planning methods would include every measure that can be taken so as to give a couple their required freedom to determine when they want to have their children and what the time gap should be if planning more than one child. Let us look at the methods and types of family planning.

Methods and Types of Family Planning

There are two types of family planning one of them refers to the usage of artificial methods and the other is called natural Family planning in which a woman’s natural infertile phases are emphasized upon.

With this discussion we come to the next step of methods used in family planning. There are various methods that are used and here are some of the following:
Oral Contraceptives for women
Progestin
Contraceptive Injections
Vasectomy
Female Sterilization
Tubectomy
Intrauterine Devices
Norplant Implants
Methods
Condoms
Family Planning: Importance

Family Planning is not only to avoid the impending disaster of over population but also for the well being of mothers since it avoids unnecessary abortions and also reduces the number of times a woman gives birth. With every pregnancy the risk towards maternal health increases so it is better to avoid unnecessary pregnancy at the first place. Family Planning would also lead to an enhancement in the health of the baby that is born since a healthy mother would definitely give birth to a healthy child. So it is high time we implement this in our lives and get some fruitful results!!
