The development of reliable contraception is widely regarded as one
of the great achievements in the broad field of medicine in the
20th century, particularly with the explosion in the global human
population being a major cause of poverty and environmental
destruction, and a real threat to our planet. Modern contraceptives
are very effective and medically extremely safe - the challenge is
to suggest and constantly supply the most appropriate ones.
Contraception: a South African perspective is a comprehensive
textbook on fertility control and the prevention of pregnancy,
especially with regards to women's health and wellbeing. In order
to ensure its relevance not only in South Africa but also in the
sub-Saharan African region, Contraception: a South African
perspective includes a chapter with up-to-date information on
natural and traditional contraception. The need to prevent the
transmission of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections
receives special attention throughout, and the contraceptive needs
of women with HIV infection are addressed, including those on
antiretroviral therapy. Contents include the following:
Reproductive physiology; Oral and injectable hormonal
contraception; Intrauterine contraception; Male contraception;
Sterilisation (male and female); Termination of pregnancy.
Contraception: a South African perspective is aimed at a wide
audience of medical and nursing students, medical practitioners and
other health care workers and volunteers. Planners and funders of
essential and basic medical care will potentially benefit from the
scientific content and the insights of the authors.
