La contracepción de emergencia
Abstract
The term "emergency contraception" also known as "postcoitus contraception" indicates a series of practices appealed to, after a suspected fertilizing sexual intercourse, with the purpose of hampering initiated pregnancy development.
Recent appearance in Italy of pill "Norlevo" boosted an open debate on the international community, since use of this method affects young population and victims of violence.
Studies on protocols and products used worldwide to prevent gestation have evidenced, according to authors of this work, that despite inhibition effect on ovulation, the real action mechanism of this products, in 70 to 100% of the cases, is abortion, not contraception.
In fact, such pharm products hamper pregnancy development acting on the luteous, the tube and particularly on the endometrius interfering with post fertilization phase, hence hindering embryo development as a result of a fertilized sexual experience.
Summing up, authors denote semantic manipulation on both scientific and institutional spheres to gain public acceptance, which calls for the need to provide women facing unexpected pregnancy with clear objective information on the real action of mechanism of these products.
