Disease/Condition Glossary

Contraception: Contraception is defined as a procedure to prevent pregnancy. A woman can get pregnant if a man's sperm reaches one of her ova (eggs). Contraception tries to stop this from happening by keeping the sperm and egg separate. It also stops the combined form of sperm and egg (a fertilized form of an egg) from attaching to the lining of the uterus.
