Family Planning And Health
Dear Mrs. Riggsbee:
1 just finished reading a booklet on
family planning and understood most of
it, but I have one question. In a
paragraph headed "Improper use of a
method," it says, "The woman may
douche too soon after the sex act, even
though there is no need to douche at
all." 1 don't understand this. I thought
the sooner you douche the better, as far
as protection against pregnancy is
concerned. And why would there be no
reason to douche at all? Thank you.
Mrs. C.H.
Dear Mrs. H.:
First, let me state that it is the
accepted opinion of a large majority of
physicians that douching is not a
necessary part of "feminine hygiene" at
all. In fact, it mav deorive the vaginal
mucous membranes of their normal
secretions and thereby invite irritation.
Douches should be taken on the advice
of a physician only, for specific reasons
- such as a vaginal discharge due to
infection, etc.
Douching after intercourse has,
according to most medical opinions, no
contraceptive value. If a woman wishes
to douche after intercourse for personal
reasons, the douche should be
postponed at least six hours after
intercourse so that no sperm cells might
be washed up into the uterus. I hope
this answers your questions.
Dear Mrs. Riggsbee:
I read your column every week and
have learned a lot from it. I am not
married yet, but when I am I will plan
my family.
Right now 1 am writing to ask you if
it is possible to have "female trouble" if
you have never had sex relations with
anyone? Sometimes I have such pains in
my abdomen. Do you think 1 have these
pains because I don't have sex relations?
J.T.
Dear J.T.:
It is possible for a woman or girl to
have female trouble (disease, pain, or
discomfort associated with any of the
female organs) whether or not she has
had sex relations.
In reply to your second question:
Deliberately entering into a sexual
relationship in order to attempt to
improve your health would be a very
foolish course of action, in my opinion.
The wise, thing to do is to see a doctor,
preferably a gynecologist (female
specialist) if possible - and find out
what is causing your pain. Don't worry
and sutler in secret, ana aon t prescribe
your own remedies, either. That's what
doctors are for.
Dear Mrs. Riggsbee:
Is family planning only for people
with large families already? I asked my
doctor about birth control after my
baby was born and he said I had plenty
of time before 1 had to worry about
that.
Even though we only have one child,
we want to wait a few years before
having our second, and we don't want
more than two. Isn't that what "Family
planning" means?
Mrs. S. deV.
Dear Mrs. deV.:
"Family planning" does mean the
spacing of children as well as the
limitation of family size. If you and
your husband prefer to wait before
having your second baby, you certainly
have every right to do so.
Unfortunately, some doctors - for
religious or other reasons ?? not'only do
not suggest a method of birth control
after a mother has a baby, but they
actually discourage using one even when
she asks about it, as your doctor did.
If you wish to postpone having your
next bably, you should see a dcotor
about a birth control method before
resuming sex relations. If your own
doctor will not prescribe a method for
you, make an appointment at your
health department.
Address letters and requests for a free
booklet on birth control to:
Mrs. Gloria Riggsbee. 123 West
