Psycho-Sexual Hazards of I. U. C. D. Insertion

Abstract

The rapid growth of population is a major factor which is strongly retarding India's development as a self-sufficient nation. Today, from far East to West Asia, bold efforts are being made by the countries to tackle the problem in an effective manner, Despite the initial hesitation of some orthodox sections to give whole hearted support, there is a general upsurge for social change in our country and the powerful support of lower class intelligentsia is one of the most significant features that has put the orthodox theologia on the defensive. Realising this, the Government of India has undertaken crash programmes in family planning and has given national shape to this movement. Intrauterine contraceptive device being a comparatively recent innovation, is an extremely valuable addition to the other means available for family planning in India. Considering all its advantages being cheap, reversible and easy to use, it seems to meet the requirements of an ideal contraceptive for Indian masses. Recent researches in the field and public enthusiasm have also shown that I, U, C, D. is a more acceptable method of family planning.
