Journal Title: Saudi Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Abstract: Negative myths and misconceptions about family planning(F.P.) are a barrier to modern contraceptive use.Myths and misconceptions about methods can spread through informal communication via social networks and lead to continued negative perceptions.To date,much of the research on contraceptive myths and misconceptions has focused on individual level attitudes and contraceptive use.Family planning is the planning of when to have children and use of birth control and other techniques to implement these plans.The reason for not using any family planning methods are lack of knowledge and education, religious belief and fear of side effects. Family planning counseling needs to be universally included into routine antenatal activities. Besides improving formal female education is certain to raise the existing knowledge and also to dispel the prevailing misinformation and misperception about family planning methods.There is also need to review the national family planning program with particular emphasis on contraceptive needs of adolescents to improve accessibility and availability of all family planning services.The aim of this study is to review the myths and beliefs of people regarding contraceptive methods.
