Use Contraceptives To Avoid Abortion – Medical Official

A University of Abuja Teaching Hospital nurse, Suzie Bako, has revealed that the use of all contraceptives by young people as a method of birth control is safe.

Bako, under the family planning unit of the hospital, communicated this to the public while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja on Tuesday.

“There is no side effect for all. Instead of these young girls to go out and get unwanted pregnancy and abort it, they can opt for any of the methods.

“You notice that sometimes in the cause of the abortion, especially when they patronise quacks, they end up losing their lives.

“It is best for them to do family planning. It will reduce the mortality rate among women.

“They can stop using whichever method they use whenever they are ready to get pregnant,’’ she said.

She further addressed the weight gain questions on family planning saying it might or might not cause weight gain as it depends on the body system.

One of the students, however, attested to have been running on one of the birth control methods so as to keep shame far from her.

“I am not ashamed of doing family planning. I am not married and do not want to be put in a family way by anybody.

“I have been on one of the methods for more than five years now and it has been working for me’’.
