Every day, in every corner of the world, over 100 million women swallow a small pill. This oral contraceptive pill, which contains a large dose of female hormones, is the most popular form of birth control
among married women in the world, except in India. In the United States, over 80% of all women born after 1945 have used birth control pills at some point during their childbearing years as their preferred
method of contraception, and it is the most common form of birth control for sexually active unmarried women in sub-Saharan Africa. Approximately 7.6 million women who live in China use the pill, which is the largest national population of birth control pill users according to a 2000 study by the Johns Hopkins University School of Public Health’s Population Information Program.
Nearly one-half of married women in Western Europe were using the pill in 2000, which totaled 60% of all contraceptive users. Today, the United States ranks sixth in the number of pill users (5.6 million), behind China, Germany, Indonesia, Brazil, and Bangladesh. In France, 95% of all women who have been sexually active have used the pill, as opposed to only 4% of Japanese women. The Japanese
government only approved the pill in 1999. And in Canada, 7 of 10 pill users over 35 years old have used it for 10 years or more. Taken regularly, oral contraceptives provide the most effective form of birth control. Four decades after the introduction of birth control pills, pharmaceutical companies continue to refine the dosage to enhance both their effectiveness and their safety.
Today’s low-dose birth control pills are far safer than those used in early years, causing fewer heart, lung, and circulatory complications. They can even be used by a woman during the period of time she is breastfeeding her child. Research continually shows that birth control pills have other therapeutic values as well, providing strong protection against some forms of ovarian cancer and helping to treat acne, severe menstrual cramps, endometriosis, irregular menstrual periods, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
Since the 1980s, doctors have created other ways to deliver female hormones for contraceptive purposes. Hormone patches, vaginal rings, injections of hormones, implanted rods filled with hormones, and even hormone-suffused intrauterine devices (IUDs) are becoming more popular. These delivery systems allow women to move from the daily dosing necessary with birth control pills to weekly dosing (birth control patch), monthly dosing (vaginal ring), three-month dosing (injection), and even multi-year dosing (implant). The convenience of less frequent dosing has been shown to increase compliance
with a birth control regimen among some women.
