| Description |
Unintended pregnancy and population explosion are significant global problem with grave implications for the future. The recent census conducted by the United Nation dated 17 March 2015 estimated the world‘s human population to be over 7 billion, with India being
the second most populated country contributing 17.5% of the world‘s population with a number of approximately 1.27 billion (Zinkina J 2014). The growth in world human
population affects people through its impact on the economy and environment. This problem is much more severe in India because of the increasing pressure on the limited resources of the country. Unfortunately, the decreasing resources are making survivability of human
beings more and more competitive even for the basic necessities of life like food, clothing and shelter. People are experiencing crisis such as climate change, shortage of food and a severe shortage of energy that are contributing to the ever-increasing problems. The
phenomenal population growth also exerts immense pressure on the other basic necessities like education, health, housing, employment opportunities etc, affecting the standard of living. Our civilisation is being squeezed between the rising population densities, and if such
trends continue there will be a severe scarcity of food supply. Hence, time has come when all citizens must take measures to combat the population outburst (Haub & Sharma 2006). In order to find a solution to this conundrum or at the very least, curb the ill effects created by such a situation, contraceptives have emerged as a reasonable antidote. People have used birth control methods for thousands of years. There are numerous contraceptive
options available today. However, the currently available methods are considered inadequate to meet the varied and changing personal needs of couples at different times of their reproductive lives, and in the widely different geographical, cultural and religious settings
that exist around the world (Wang 1999).
The present dissertation is concerned with a plant-derived molecule, puerarin that has prospective anti-implantation effects and the future potential as the active constituent for the development of female contraceptive. And in this connection, I review briefly the female reproduction with a detailed note on the physiology of implantation, and the various methods
of contraception practiced by women worldwide.
