Abstract

การคุมกำเนิด เป็นหนึ่งในกระบวนการวางแผนครอบครัวเพื่อให้ผู้ยังไม่พร้อมจะมีบุตร สามารถป้องกันการตั้งครรภ์และมีบุตรได้ในเวลาที่ต้องการ อย่างไรก็ตาม ในบางครั้งอาจมีการร่วมเพศโดยไม่ได้ตั้งใจและไม่ได้มีการป้องกันใดๆ หรือมีการคุมกำเนิดที่ไม่สม่ำเสมอ ไม่ภูกต้อง การคุมกำเนิดฉุกเฉินจะมีบทบาทในการป้องกันการตั้งครรภ์ที่ไม่ได้ตั้งใจในกรณีเหล่านี้ ถึงแม้การคุมกำเนิดฉุกเฉินด้วยวิธีต่างๆ จะมีการใช้มาเป็นเวลานาน ในปัจจุบันยังพบว่า วิธีการคุมกำเนิดยังไม่เป็นที่รู้จักกันดี ส่วนหนึ่งของผู้ที่ต้องการใช้ไม่สามารถใช้ได้อย่างถูกต้อง รวมทั้งยังไม่ได้เป็นวิธีการที่ผู้รับบริการเข้าถึงได้ง่าย
