Contraception and the adolescent female.

Although most teenagers have some knowledge of birth control methods, most sexually active adolescents do not use one consistently. Some young women are too apathetic or irresponsible to use birth control, even if the method is available. However, most teenagers do not want to become pregnant. If factual information is given, the method is easily accessible and is acceptable to them, and if they have come to terms with their own sexuality, most young women will accept the responsibility of preventing an unwanted pregnancy.

The prophylaxis of gonorrhea.

The current level of the gonorrhea epidemic supports the need for additional measures for gonorrhea control. In the absence of evidence that prophylactic availability enhances promiscuity, a strong case can be made for venereal disease prophylaxis. This paper reviews the efficacy and acceptability of prophylactic techniques. In the military, acceptability and efficacy have been demonstrated for systemic antibiotics, and probably a postcoital prophylactic kit. These measures are either inappropriate or unavailable for general civilian use. The condom and vaginal spermicides offer promise of partial protection; further studies of efficacy and utilization are needed.

Barrier contraceptive practice and male infertility as related factors to breast cancer in married women. Preliminary results.

A case-control study was conducted in order to test the hypothesis that a reduced exposure to human seminal factors in the early reproductive life of women is a risk factor in breast cancer. The relative risk of exposure to the hypothetical semen-factor deficiency is 4.7 times greater for breast-cancer patients than for the controls. The risk of developing breast cancer within the same population in the U.S.A. is estimated as 5 times greater for women who use barrier methods (condom and other) than for women who use non-barrier contraceptive methods (diaphragm and other). The reduction of the incidence of breast cancer by eliminating the barrier contraceptive techniques would be not less than 50% in married women in the population.
