What is Family Planning?
Family planning refers to the practice of controlling the number and timing of children through the use of birth control methods, fertility awareness, and other reproductive health services. It allows couples to achieve their desired family size while considering their personal, health, and financial circumstances. Family planning also encompasses methods to prevent unintended pregnancies and manage issues like infertility.
