The hazards and benefits of oral contraceptives, intrauterine devices and the diaphragm are summarized. Comparisons are then made between these three methods of birth control, using data collected in two large British prospective studies. It is concluded that the medical and social benefits that many women obtain with oral contraceptive use outweigh the hazards, and that ‘the pill’ can continue to be used.

SummaryThe effect of Demulen (ethinyl estradiol 0.05 mg and ethynodiol diacetate 1 mg) and exercise on the level of plasminogen activators was studied in 25 women (12 controls and 13 contraceptive users).Plasma plasminogen activator level was increased by the use of the oral contraceptive and further increased by exercise. Urine plasminogen activator level was unchanged by the use of Demulen but, in both groups of subjects, was decreased by exercise.
