| Popis: | This commentary discusses whether the approval of oral contraceptives (OC) has had an impact on the rate of unintended pregnancy in Japan. It looks at rate in terms of induced abortion and concludes that higher OC prevalence does not always mean lower induced abortion so OC approval may not have enough impact on decreasing unintended pregnancy as was expected. On the other hand OC use in Japan has a positive impact on womens health as one of the treatment choices for menstruation-related problems to improve their quality of life.
