 CONCLUSION
In conclusion, birth control is a crucial tool for individuals to make educated reproductive
health decisions. We looked at what birth control is and why people use it, such as for
family planning, preventing unexpected pregnancies, addressing health problems, economic
factors, and personal empowerment.

We also talked about the distinction between natural and artificial ways, with natural
methods relying on fertility signals and artificial methods including medicines or
equipment.

We focused on hormonal and chemical techniques, such as contraceptive pills and morning-
after pills. Contraceptive tablets provide effective contraception, control over the menstrual
cycle, and convenience. Morning-after tablets offer a quick-response choice that is both
portable and non-permanent.
