title: Birth control.
abstract: The family physician must assume the role of counsellor on birth control and should therefore be knowledgeable about modern techniques. He should also be aware of sterilization and abortion procedures and should be able to direct his patients to other agencies when necessary. This article covers details of the rhythm method, coitus interruptus, condoms, cervical occlusive devices, chemical contraceptives, intrauterine devices, contraceptive pills, and sterilization of both male and female.
