Family Planning in Bhubaneswar

Family planning helps couples decide how many, when, and how far apart to have children. This is a crucial component of women's health and well-being. Faculty and staff at Manipal Hospitals, Bhubaneshwar, Odisha, provide individual care to women in a safe, respectful, supportive, and friendly environment. The Family Planning Clinic offers extensive abortion treatment, contraception for women with complex medical concerns, management of unwanted and abnormal pregnancies, difficult IUD/Implant insertion and removal, and family planning services to women seeking birth control choices. 

The surgical methods involved in family planning include: 

  • Vasectomy: A surgical procedure meant to sterilise men permanently. It involves cutting or restricting the vas deferens, the tubes that carry sperm from the testicles to the urethra, to prevent sperm from reaching the semen that is ejaculated from the penis. It is a really effective birth control procedure, but because it's irreversible, you should think things over well before deciding on it.

  • Tubectomy: A part of both fallopian tubes is removed or tied during a surgical operation known as female sterilisation to prevent ovum from passing through them. Conventional transabdominal surgery, mini-laparotomy, and conventional laparotomy are the methods used to do tubectomy. During surgical operations, the fallopian tubes are severed, and the cut ends are bound to prevent reunion. Because the chopped ends can be reattached, the process is reversible. Sterilisation in laparoscopic surgery is accomplished by developing the loop and using a silastic ring to constrict the loop's basal region through the vagina or a tiny abdominal incision.

FAQ's

The application of various fertility control techniques to assist individuals or couples in achieving specific goals, such as: 

  • Unwanted pregnancies

  • Bring about the desired pregnancy

  • Produce a change in the number of children born

  • Regulate intervals between pregnancies

There are 3 important elements required in family planning:

  • Proper spacing 

  • Proper timing

  • Number of pregnancies

There are three types of family planning techniques:

  • Natural family planning

  • Barriers to family planning

  • Surgical/permanent family planning

One method of birth control that does not require the use of pills or devices is natural family planning. Consequently, it has no adverse consequences.

Every month, the ovaries release an egg at the same time. It is known as ovulation. The fallopian tubes allow the egg to go from the ovary to the uterus. An unfertilized egg has a maximum lifespan of one day. 

Every month, fertility lasts roughly six days: five days before ovulation, the day of ovulation, and five days following. Different techniques are used in natural family planning to identify those fertile days.
With these techniques, you can keep an eye on your fertility, or the time of month when you are most likely to get pregnant.

Types: 

There are various methods that natural family planning can use to prevent pregnancy: 

  • Rhythm method: Based solely on the calendar, this is one of the first methods of natural family planning. The average menstrual cycle lasts for 28 to 32 days. Usually, ovulation occurs on day 14. Since you're most fertile between days 8 and 19, you should avoid having unprotected sex at that time. Find out from your doctor the optimal way to apply the rhythm approach.

  • Cervical mucus/ovulation method: when you are ovulating, the cervix releases white, stretchy, clear, like egg white mucus, which shows that you are ovulating. Avoiding sex during that period can also prevent pregnancies. 

  • Basal body temperature (BBT): When you ovulate, your body temperature may increase by 0.5 to 1 degree, staying that way until your next menstruation. By using this method, you monitor your temperature every morning before you get out of bed and before you consume any food or liquids. 

The various barriers that are employed are: 

  • Female condoms: By acting as a barrier during sexual activity, female condoms are worn inside the vagina to prevent STIs and pregnancy. They are made of thin, pliable plastic with flexible rings on either end—one to cover the vaginal opening and the other to keep it in place inside the vagina.

  • Male condoms: They are thin, latex, or polyurethane sheaths placed over the penis during sexual activity, which serves as a barrier to prevent pregnancy and STDs. When used properly, they provide a high level of protection, are easily obtainable, and are simple to apply. 

  • Diaphragm: One of the barrier forms of contraception that women can use is the diaphragm. It's a shallow silicone dome with a flexible, strong rim. A diaphragm is inserted into the vagina, similar to a tampon, to cover the cervix, the entryway to the uterus, and to tuck in below the pubic bone, preventing sperm from entering.

  • Ortho Evra: These are also known as “the patch,” which is usually worn on the arms, abdomen, upper torso, and buttocks. These release oestrogen and progesterone into the bloodstream through the skin. 

Family planning techniques provide several advantages, such as better mother and child health and control over reproductive options, but they also have certain drawbacks. Among these potential hazards are:

  • Health hazards: Some contraceptive techniques, such as hormonal birth control pills or implants, might cause weight gain, mood swings, or an elevated risk of blood clots as adverse effects. In rare instances, intrauterine devices (IUDs) can cause uterine perforation or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). 

  • Allergy Reactions: Certain contraceptive materials, including the latex in condoms or spermicides, might cause allergic reactions in certain people. 

  • Effectiveness: Depending on proper and ongoing application, family planning techniques can have varying degrees of effectiveness. Inadequate use of contraceptives may lead to unwanted pregnancies. 

  • Social and psychological factors: Choosing a family plan can occasionally result in conflict between individuals or demands from the community and culture. Furthermore, selecting or avoiding particular approaches may cause people to feel guilty or in emotional pain. 

  • Medical condition: Contraceptive techniques may interact with some pre-existing medical conditions or drugs, lowering their effectiveness or causing additional health hazards. 

  • Access and affordability: Geographical, economic, or social constraints may restrict access to family planning services and technologies, resulting in differences in the results of reproductive health. 

  • Reversibility: Certain family planning techniques are meant to be permanent, but others, including sterilisation treatments like Vasectomy or Tubal Ligation, are reversible. Procedures for reversal may be expensive, intrusive, or not always effective.

When deciding between family planning options based on their needs and circumstances, individuals and couples must talk about these risks with their healthcare practitioners.
