1.	Infection 02/01/2015 - "Dual method use (condom plus a highly effective method of contraception) is the gold standard for prevention of both pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. " 08/01/2014 - "The three most important factors in choosing a contraceptive method were: high efficacy at preventing pregnancy, protection against sexually transmitted infections, and non-interference with sexual intercourse. " 03/01/2013 - "Most of the data on sexual behavior following improved access to EC do not show any detrimental effect on subsequent use of other more effective methods of contraception or on the incidence of unintended pregnancy or sexually transmitted infection. " 08/01/2012 - "High efficacy, protection against sexually transmitted infections and non interference with sex were the three most important factors when choosing a contraceptive method, whereas the possibility of altering the menstrual pattern and reversibility were not considered important. " 10/01/2008 - "Until a more promising method besides condoms is commercially available for protection against unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections such as HIV, effective strategies must include dual-use policies as well as counselling on all available contraceptive methods so that women can maximise the benefits of mixing methods."
2.	Sexually Transmitted Diseases (Sexually Transmitted Disease) 10/01/1997 - "Increased educational efforts should emphasize safe sexual practices (barrier methods) to prevent sexually transmitted diseases and highly efficacious methods of contraception (hormonal contraception) to avoid unintended pregnancy." 01/01/1993 - " In addition, careful consideration must be given to the fact that the most effective means of female contraception--sterilization, implants, injectables, IUDs, and the pill--provide no protection against STDs, while condoms do not provide adequate protection against pregnancy and lack high acceptability among women." 08/01/1991 - "There is a renewed interest in these techniques both as a major form of birth control and also as our best protection against the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases, many of which are now occurring in epidemic form. " 07/01/1996 - "Awareness of the effects that birth control methods have on the enhancement or protection against risk of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is very important. " 01/01/1995 - " The condom was the only form of birth control thought by 49% of the women surveyed to provide complete (4%) or considerable (45%) protection against sexually transmitted diseases. "
3.	Infertility (Sterility) 08/13/2013 - "Correct resolution of the molecular events governing female and male meiosis is important for treating infertility and devising improved birth control strategies. " 11/01/2013 - "Embryo attachment and implantation is critical to successful reproduction of all eutherian mammals, including humans; a better understanding of these processes could lead to improved infertility treatments and novel contraceptive methods. " 01/01/2004 - "Alleviation of infertility on the one hand and development of improved methods of contraception on the other are global concerns to woman's health. " 08/01/2014 - "Improved knowledge on endometrial receptivity will not only help to improve the diagnosis and treatment of infertility but will also give possibilities to develop new contraceptive methods targeting the endometrium. " 08/01/2004 - "The commonest reason adduced for prolonged birth spacing is failed contraception (56%), followed by secondary infertility (24%) and to a lesser extent re-marriage, improved income and sheer desire. "
4.	Hemorrhage 10/01/2011 - "Although in Italy intrauterine contraception is poorly accepted, once started on LNG-IUS, women found that the device represents a safe and effective contraceptive modality, with valuable noncontraceptive benefits, especially in the presence of heavy or prolonged bleeding." 01/01/2011 - "This regimen offers safe, reliable contraception and has been shown to be an effective treatment for heavy menstrual bleeding. " 08/01/2011 - "Although in Italy intrauterine contraception is poorly accepted, once started on Mirena® women found that the device represents a safe and effective contraceptive modality, particularly indicated in the presence of heavy or prolonged bleeding. " 09/01/1999 - "This follow-up study suggests that the Lng-IUS remains a safe and effective method of contraception, allowing women prolonged relief of menstrual problems, and for women in their late reproductive years, offering a convenient and bleeding-free transition into the menopause." 08/01/2001 - "Hormone replacement therapy is not the first-line treatment for women with symptomatic perimenopause because hormone replacement therapy neither suppresses ovulation nor provides contraception; also, it will not prevent and in fact may aggravate unpredictable perimenopausal bleeding. "
5.	Neoplasms (Cancer) 12/01/2005 - "At the present time, studies are focused on increasing the immunogenicity and efficacy of the birth control vaccine, and examining its clinical applications in various HCG-producing cancers. " 11/01/2015 - "Key messages include the limitations of laboratory studies, including CA-125, and imaging in the setting of gynecologic cancer surveillance, hormonal and non-hormonal management of treatment-related vasomotor symptoms and genitourinary syndrome of menopause, as well as recommendations for general health screening, fertility preservation, and contraception. " 07/01/2014 - "The aim of this study, performed between September to November 2010, was to provide insight into Italian girls' and women's knowledge of sexual health and sexuality, in particular regarding the physiology of human reproduction, contraception, sexuality, cervical cancer screening and abortion. " 05/15/2009 - "Although chance findings are a likely explanation for some of the associations found in our study, these findings suggest that various contraceptive methods or reproductive patterns may play a role in the etiology of cancer." 01/12/2008 - "RCGP's oral contraception study: Study shows greater cancer risk."
