Health Matters: Family Planning

Hello everyone, I'm @akbarmia from Bangladesh. I hope everyone is well, and by the grace of Allah, I am also well. Today I will be participating in a contest titled "Health Matters: Family Planning'' on the Healthy Steem Community. I thank @sahmie for organizing such a nice contest.

What is Family planning, and what are the benefits of family planning for individuals and society?

Family planning is a process through which couples can decide whether or not to have children according to their wishes. This allows them to decide how many children to have, when to have them, and how long they should be spaced between children.

Planned families have lower maternal mortality and infant mortality. Adequate intervals between pregnancies improve the health of mother and baby. Controlling the number of members in a planned family reduces individual and family expenditure, resulting in savings. Married life in a planned family is normal and happy.
Population growth can be controlled through family planning. If population growth is controlled, the education rate will increase, employment opportunities will increase, pressure on natural resources will decrease, and ecological balance will be maintained, etc.

How does family planning contribute to sustainable development and environmental conservation?

Planned family systems keep the population under control, thereby reducing pressure on natural resources such as water, food, forests and energy sources. Controlling the population through family planning increases education and employment opportunities for everyone, leading to freedom from poverty. An educated and informed population is aware of green technologies, recycling and the use of renewable resources necessary for sustainable development. A lower population means less carbon emissions and other pollution, which reduces pressure on the climate and helps keep the planet habitable for future generations.

What are the different methods of family planning available, and how do they work?

There are various methods of family planning, which people can choose according to their needs. Example:

Condom: Both men and women can use it. It prevents the sperm from meeting with the egg during intercourse.
Contraceptive Pills: These pills stop the production of eggs through hormones. As a result, the egg cannot fuse with the sperm.
Injection: This is a type of hormonal procedure. It is usually taken every three months, which stops ovulation.
IUD: It is placed inside the uterus. It hinders the process of conception.
Safe Period Method: Sex is done at certain times of the menstrual cycle when the chances of pregnancy are low.
Withdrawal method: During sexual intercourse, the man removes his penis before ejaculation, so that the semen does not enter the woman's body.

What are the economic implications of family planning on households and communities?

Family planning can save more money for household maintenance and increase employment opportunities. In the case of fewer children, the daily expenses of the family, such as education, health care and other necessary expenses, are reduced. By controlling the timing or number of pregnancies, women can increase their productivity and contribute more to the economy. By planning childbirth, good health and education of the child can be ensured. As a result, educated and healthy children can contribute positively to the country's economy in the future. The implementation of family planning keeps the country's population under control, thereby reducing the pressure on the country's economy.
