Like they always say, sometimes life throw to us what we expect least and we just need to accept it as it comes. Today I will be participating in the Steem4Nigeria Community contest and be sharing my view how far this year have gone.

What do you understand about Family Planning?

Well according to my own understanding, I will like to establish that Family Planning means the act of managing the number of children a couple will want to have and during that process they make use of methods to help control their fertility. Majorly it is about making decisions that surround reproduction and even health rate. When it involves Family Planning, there are some key aspects to deal with which I would like to make mention of.

The first is Contraception. Most of the time couples makes use of contraception like condoms, sterilisation and also IUDs so that it can help to prevent pregnancies. The second one is they make use of the Reproductive Health. This is relate to the sexual health but kind of dangerous actually. The next aspects of family planning which is always popular is through the use of Education or counselling. Most of the time, the couples are informed about the choices they want to make.

Do you think countries should regulate their population using Family Planning? How do you think that will help them? Explain.

Well actually, I will say countries should actually regulate their population and that can be achieved using the family planning strategies because there is a lot of advantages that family planning makes use of that helps to promote both the economic, social and even the environmental sustainability of the country at the end of the day. It can help to address overpopulation, public health and many more.

Even though it still point down to the desire of the county in question, I will still say it has a lot of benefits because it will definitely help in economic development. The first is that it actually helped to reduce poverty and also at the end of the day also enhance workforce productivity. Not only that, it also helped to improve healthcare in terms of mortality rates and also the child's health.

Do you encourage family planning? Tell us your reasons.

Well for me, I will say I personally encourage Family Planning because it has a lot of benefits to actually give beyond what we can ever imagine of. The first I will say is it will help to promote health and general wellbeing. I am talking about maternal health and even child health because it will reduce the risk that is associated with pregnancies.

The other benefits is that it will help to give you empowerment for your individuals. When I am talking about empowerments, majorly I am talking about the women's empowerment and also the parental preparedness. It also helps you to help focus on dealing with poverty because one of the things that I have noticed is that poverty has really helped to deal with a lot of things, especially beyond what we can ever imagine.

Tell us about some of the methods or types of family planning you know or have heard of.

Family planning according to what I know have a lot of methods like the natural methods and even the permanent methods.

  • Natural Methods: For the method of the natural methods, they make use of the fertility awareness and even withdrawal method. This withdrawal method makes use of the method where the partner quickly withdrew before ejaculation. Though it is very risky.
  • Permanent Methods: The permanent methods is quite risky to health but it gives more result. They make use of the male sterilisation and also the female sterilisation also. Most of the time they make use of the fallopian tubes that will finally prevent the egg to meet the sperm.
