Usually younger women, married or unmarried, are less likely to be using contraception than older women, even in countries where contraceptive prevalence rate (CPR) is high. There is a need for awareness regarding effective contraceptive methods, their correct and consistent use.
In India, the surveys suggest that abortions are responsible for 10–20% of all maternal deaths. World over, if contraception is accessible and used consistently and correctly by women wanting to avoid pregnancy, maternal deaths would decline by an estimated 25–35%. When abortion seeking is risky, late or in the hands of unsafe providers or unhygienic conditions, it can lead to both reproductive morbidity and maternal mortality. Ĭouples are faced with conflicting goals of achieving satisfying sex life and keeping a small family, failure to do so results in unwanted pregnancy and abortions.
To avoid the need for an abortion, she has to successfully practice birth control for 16–20 of her roughly 25 childbearing years. Between the ages of 20 and 44, a fertile, sexually-active woman is potentially capable of giving birth about 12 times, even if she breastfeeds each baby for 1 year. A growing number of women and men of reproductive age wish to regulate their fertility and have fewer children.
