About Pregnancy contraception.

Pregnancy contraception refers to the intentional prevention of unintended fertilization and gestation in females of reproductive potential.

Rather than denoting a disease state, it represents a clinical state of fertility control involving the female reproductive endocrine and organ systems.

The primary pathophysiological mechanisms involve the deliberate inhibition of follicular development and ovulation via hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis suppression, alteration of cervical mucus to impede sperm penetration, induction of endometrial hostility to prevent blastocyst implantation, or mechanical and chemical disruption of gamete transport.
