opening on the scrotal skin (Vasectomy)
Effective 3 months after the procedure
Pill
Hormones – estrogen and progesterone
Taken daily PO
Male condom
Thin sheath of latex
Dual protection from STIs including HIV
23
Injectables
Synthetic hormone – progestin which suppresses ovulation,
thickens cervical mucus

Postpartum method of postponing pregnancy based on
physiological infertility experienced by breast feeding women
Effective only for a maximum of 6 months postpartum
Mucus/Billings/Ovulation
Abstaining from SI during fertile days
Can not be used by woman with unusual disease or condition
that results in extraordinary vaginal discharge that makes
observation difficult
24
BBT
Identifying the fertile and infertile period by daily taking and
recording rise in BT during and after ovulation
Temp is taken 3 hours of undisturbed rest (usually morning)
Sympto-thermal method
Combination of BBT and Billing/Mucus method
Two day method
Simple fertility awareness based method
Cervical secretions as an indicator of fertility
Checking the presence of secretions daily
Standard days method
Users with menstrual cycle between 26 and 32 days are
counseled to abstain from SI on days 8-19 to avoid pregnancy
Misconception about Family Planning Methods
25
Some family planning methods causes abortion
Abortion is termination of pregnancy; family planning
prevents pregnancy
Using contraceptives will render the couples sterile
Only vasectomy and BTL considered permanent methods and
chosen by the couples who have completed desired family size
Using contraceptive methods will result to loss of
sexual desire
Contraceptives free the couple from unwanted pregnancies,
this enhances couple’s sexual relationship
26
Strategy calls for the:
Promotion of breastmilk as the ideal food for the healthy
growth and development of infants
Exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months of life
Overall objective:
Improve the survival of infants and young children by
improving their nutritional status, G & D through optimal
feeding
4. EXPANDED PROGRAM IMMUNIZATION
27
Plz follow sri lankan one…
General principles which apply in
vaccinating children
28
Safe and immunologically effective to administer all
EPI vaccine on the same day at different sites of the
body
Measles vaccine should be given as soon as the child is
9 months old
9 months – 85% protection
1 year above – 95% protection
Vaccination schedule should not be restarted from the
beginning even if the interval between doses exceeded
the recommended interval by months or years
Moderate fever, malnutrition, mild respiratory
infection, cough, diarrhea and vomiting are not
contraindicated to vaccination; unless the child is so
sick that he needs to be hospitalized
29
Absolute contraindications to immunizations are:
DPT2 or DPT3 to a child who has had convulsions or shock
within 3 days the previous dose
Vaccines containing the whole pertussis component should not
be given to children with an evolving neurological disease
Live vaccines like BCG must not be given to
immunosuppressed due to malignant disease (child with
clinical disease), therapy with immunosuppressive agents or
irradiation
Safe and effective with mild side effects after
vaccination. Local reaction, fever and systemic
symptoms can result as part of the normal immune
response
30
Giving doses of vaccine at less than the recommended 4
weeks interval may lessen the antibody response.
Lengthening the interval between doses of vaccines leads
to higher antibody levels
No extra doses must be given to children who missed a
dose of DPT/HB/OPV/TT
Strictly follow the principle of never, ever reconstituting
the freeze dried vaccines in anything other than the
diluents supplied with them
Repeat BCG vaccination if the child does not develop a
scar after the 1st injection
Use one syringe one needle per child during vaccination
