The oldest known medical document that talks about contraception was found in Egypt.

In it, three
recipes for vaginal application are described. The first has as an active ingredient, a crocodile excrement
in a paste. The second is a kind of enema composed of honey and calcium carbonate. And the third is
gelatinous substance.

But the best known is the Ebers Papyrus which is considered the "oldest medical book in the world".
Dating back to 1550 BC Where it is recommended for contraceptive purposes for one to three years,
crush acacia chips with honey. Then turn them into lint and place them in the vagina.

A lot of doctors and clinicians in the past also referred to contraception and discussed various methods.

In ancient Greece, numerous doctors and writers referred to contraception and discussed various
methods. Aristotle, Plato, Hesiodo, among others, discussed general aspects of the population problem.

Al Rhazes, one of the best clinicians of the Middle Ages (923 AD) and Avicenna more, tuff most famous
scientist of Islam.They regarded contraceptive techniques and methods as a legitimate chapter of
medical practice

At the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the next. English clergyman and economist, Thomas
Robert Malthus related methods of birth control and future problems related to rapid population
growth. This controversial thinker was the first to establish concepts and point out aspects related to
demography.

In the 19th century, with the inherent progress of industrialization and urbanism in Western societies.
Contraceptive methods became more popular, especially in France, Germany and England.

progress of industrialization and urbanism in Western societies. Contraceptive methods became more
popular, especially in France, Germany and England.

At this time, Francis Place emphasizes the social and economic importance of Family planning. Place
drew attention to statesmen, labor leaders, journalists and influential citizens of the need for
contraception instruction. Alongside the technical and medical prescriptions, he highlighted its
economic indications related to the prevention of poverty and the raising of the standard of living of the
masses.

Francis Place is considered the true founder of the birth control movement. Since he was the first to
promote and advance a campaign among the popular classes. Disseminating knowledge and preventive
measures for pregnancy.

In Great Britain Marie Stopes, after writing the book "Love in marriage." She received many letters from
women expressing fear of a possible pregnancy. In response she published: "Wise motherhood." And in
1921 in the company of her husband Humprey Verdon Roe, they established the first mobile clinic for
the provision of contraceptive services. Where they saw in the control of pregnancy, not only the
eugenic and social aspects. But a space, one more possibility to continue in his fight to free women from
the bondage of unwanted pregnancy. And as a means of offering her freedom, sexual satisfaction, and
joyous motherhood.

A second important figure was the American nurse, daughter of impoverished Irish immigrants,
Margaret Sanger. Woman of great vision and personal courage. Who by 1926 traveled the world
proclaiming his programs on responsible fatherhood as the solid foundation of the family unit. And all
within a control to unbridled fertility.

She coined the term birth control, which caused a huge scandal and earned her prosecution. On charges
of indecency and violation of the Comstock Law. A Law that had been led by Anthony Comstock in 1870
which prohibited importation or sending by mail any type of device or information on contraception,
contraceptive methods or advertisement of contraception , not even in medical texts.

In 1916 he opened the first birth control clinic in the United States. Where lots of women came looking
for the secrets to prevent new pregnancies.

Their contributions helped the American Medical Association to incorporate contraception into medical
training and practice in 1936. He went on to inaugurate family planning services in several countries.
And he advanced the first international conference on family planning in Bombay in 1952. Where he
founded the International Family Planning Federation (IPPF). Being the first president.

This institution, among other purposes, has: to promote family planning, scientific research on the
physiology of reproduction and fertility. Strive for a balance between the world's population, natural
resources, and social, economic, and cultural benefits. As a requirement to raise the quality of life and
safeguard peace and man's own survival [4] .

The third pioneer was Katherine Dexter McKornick.Born in Chicago and the daughter of very wealthy
parents. Who married Stanley McKornick, heir to one of the greatest fortunes in North America. This
woman financed with a large part of her resources many of the family planning activities, which at the
time were considered inconsiderate causes.

Starting the fifties, meeting with Margaret Sanger. They agreed to finance and commission the studies
that would lead to the manufacture of a simple, cheap and safe contraceptive. For this work they
summoned the biologist Gregory Pincus, who at the time was a world authority in the study of
mammalian ovules.

Several researchers came together to produce a

In 1954 John Rock was the first to administer synthetic progestins to patients. In the first evaluation
carried out. 50 women received between 10 and 40 mgs / day of one of the indicated progestins, given
for 20 continuous days. Noting that none of the women ovulated and seven of the participating women
became pregnant shortly after the end of the study. It was John Rock himself who for this date called
the preparation by the name of "the pill."
In 1956 in San Juan de Puerto Rico and in Haiti, the first combined oral contraceptive was administered
under medical supervision. Enovid ® (0.15 mg of mestranol and 9.85 mg of norethindrone). [8] And the
first progestin-only pill, Norlutin ® (Norethindrone). Being approved by the FDA in 1957.

In 1960, oral contraceptives were massively introduced throughout the world. Since then, John Rock and
Gregory Pincus have been considered the fathers of the contraceptive pill.

45 years have passed since its introduction and oral contraceptives continue to be available around the
world. In two modalities according to its hormonal components present. The widely and widely used pill
are combined oral contraceptives. That include a mixture of estrogen and progestin in the tablet [16] .
The minipill is a progestin-only, estrogen-free oral contraceptive that is administered daily without
pauses [17] .

Ketosis occurs when the fat in your body does not break down completely, producing ketones. It's a
condition that can occur when you go on a low-carb diet and glycogen stores in your liver are depleted.
When you have too much acid in your system, you can develop acidosis. The acid build-up can take
place in your kidneys or lungs for a variety of reasons. The build-up of ketones can cause an imbalance
that leads to excessive acid production.

Hypoglycemia: is a clinical syndrome with diverse causes in which low plasma glucose concentrations
lead to symptoms and signs, and there is resolution of the symptoms/signs when the plasma glucose
concentration is raised.

Lot of neurotransmitters are carbohydrate dependant and taking carbs out of food can not only cause
depression but also manifest in things like lack of stamina. Brain requires a minimum of 100 gm of carbs
daily and some crash diets like atkins and others reduce carbs to less than 30 to 40 grams per day which
has bad impact on the brain," she said.

Poor diet and lack of physical activity are the most common causes of constipation, so it’s a good idea to
rule these out first before looking into other causes.

Here are some diet- and lifestyle-related factors that can make you constipated:
a diet heavy in meat and dairy products

lack of high-fiber foods

not enough water and other fluids
