  1. oral contraception

    Oral contraception refers to a method of birth control that involves taking a pill by mouth to prevent pregnancy. These pills usually contain hormones (either a combination of estrogen and progestin, or progestin alone) that inhibit ovulation, alter the cervical mucus to make it harder for sperm to reach the egg, and thin the lining of the uterus to prevent implantation of a fertilized egg. They are required to be taken daily at the same time for maximum effectiveness.
