Q-1
a. List out temporary methods of family planning. કુટુંબ નિયોજનની બિનકાયમી મેથડ્સની યાદી બનાવો.03
TEMPORARY METHOD OF FAMILY PLANNING:
Temporary method is a reversible and time-limited contraceptive technique for family planning whose main aim is to prevent unwanted pregnancy. This method prevents the natural work of fertilization or implantation without causing permanent effects on the reproductive function of the patient. Each method should be selected according to the patient’s age, hormonal balance, co-morbid conditions and family planning goals.
Barrier Method:
In the barrier method, the entry of sperm into the female reproductive tract is physically obstructed so that it does not reach the egg.
Injectable Contraceptive:
Injectables are hormonal drugs that are administered into the patient’s body via the intramuscular route and inhibit ovulation for a long time.
DMPA (Depo-medroxyprogesterone acetate)

c. Explain permanent methods of family planning in details.ફેમિલી પ્લાનિંગની કાયમી પધ્ધતિઓ વિસ્તૃતમાં સમજાવો.05
Sterilization/ Permanent Contraception:
Permanent surgical contraception, also known as voluntary sterilization, is a surgical method in which the reproductive function of an individual male or female is purposefully and permanently destroyed. Such as,
1) Male Sterilization: Vasectomy,
2) Female Sterilization: Tubectomy
1) Male Sterilization: Vasectomy:
Vasectomy is a permanent sterilization operation performed on males in which both sides of the vas deferens are resected and its ends are cut and ligated.
Advantages:
It has simple operation technique and less complications.
It can be performed as an outdoor procedure in camps and villages.
The failure rate is 0.15% and the success rate of reversal anastomosis operation is 50%.
Equipment, hospital stay, doctor training are all less expensive.
Disadvantages:
Additional contraception is required for 2-3 months after the operation until the semen becomes sperm free.
Frigidity or impotence may occur, which is mostly psychological.
Non Scalpel Vasectomy (NSV):
This operation is performed under local anesthesia in which the vas is caught with specially designed forceps, then the stretched skin over the vas is punctured with the sharp point of the forceps without using a scalpel and then the vas is dissected. Sutures are not required and the time is also less. There is a fast recovery but the skill of the surgeon is required to a greater extent.
Female Sterilization/ Tubectomy:
Tubectomy is a method of permanent sterilization performed in females. In this, the fallopian tubes are cut to block the passage of the ovum and then they are ligated.
Time of Operation:
Postpartum Sterilization:
If the patient is healthy, tubectomy can be done 24-48 hours after delivery.
Internal Sterilization:
When the operation is performed at a time other than childbirth and abortion, it is called internal sterilization.
Traditional tubectomy:
This method is also known as abdominal tubectomy. This method is usually performed under general anesthesia or spinal anesthesia in which an incision is made in the lower abdominal area and then the fallopian tube is cut and tied or clamped. After that, the layers of the abdomen are closed. This usually works as a permanent contraceptive that blocks the path of the ovum. It usually requires hospitalization for five to six days and the sutures can be removed after the 5th day after the operation.
Post-operative Advice:
Heavy weights should not be lifted for 6 weeks.
Heavy work should be avoided for three months.
Sexual activity can be resumed after 4 weeks of the operation.
Minilap Operation:
This is a minor form of abdominal tubectomy which is usually performed under local anesthesia in which a 2.5 to 3 cm incision is made in the lower abdominal area and then parts of the fallopian tube are cut and clamped and then the abdominal layer is sutured again. This method is a very safe and effective method. This procedure can usually be performed at the Primary Health Center (PHC) level and also in the community. This procedure acts as a good technique for postpartum sterilization.
Advantage:
This technique is usually suitable for postpartum sterilization.
This procedure is generally less traumatic than an abdominal tubectomy.
It also generally has fewer complications.
Laparoscopic Sterilization:
This laparoscopic sterilization technique is a very popular procedure of female sterilization in which the fallopian tubes are blocked or a rubber ring is placed in the fallopian tubes due to which the ovum cannot reach the uterus. Before inserting the laparoscope, the abdomen is expanded with carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide or air. Then the laparoscope is inserted through the abdomen and the tubes are visualized. Then, when the tubes are visualized, a fallopian ring is placed in the fallopian tube or a clip is applied due to which the tubes are blocked. Then the laparoscope is removed and the layers of the abdomen are sutured and closed.
Advantage:
The incision is very small and the scar is also small.
It requires less time for the operation.
It is a less expensive procedure.
Complications are minimal.
Hospital stay is short, usually up to 48 hours.
Disadvantages:
It is not usually performed in post-partum patients.
It is not suitable for patients who have medical disorders such as heart disease, respiratory disease, diabetes and hypertension.
Complication:
Pain,
Stretching,
Irregular menstrual cycle,
Local infection.

b. Describe principles of primary health care.-પ્રાયમરી હેલ્થકેરનાં સિધ્ધાંતો વર્ણવો.04
There are 5 main principles of primary health care.
1) Equitable Distribution,
2) Community Participation,
3) Appropriate Technology,
4) Focus on Prevention,
5) Intersectoral Coordination
1) Equitable Distribution:
Health services and resources should be distributed equally in the community. Primary health care should be available to all without any discrimination of caste, creed and gender, religion, rich, poor, urban or rural. According to this principle, primary health care should be available to every individual, family and community. It is based on social justice. People living in rural areas are the main target of primary health care.
2) Community Participation:
It is difficult to achieve the goal of primary health care without the involvement of the community.
Continuous efforts should be made to get the involvement of the community in the planning, implementation, and maintenance of health services.
Local health workers of villages like village health guides, anganwadi workers, ASHAs, train-aids provide health services by overcoming any communication barriers and culture.
This is done in such a way that it becomes acceptable to the community.
3) Appropriate Technology:
The technology used in primary health care should be scientifically sound, safe, socially acceptable, appropriate to local requirements and financially viable and should be available at the local level.
Ex: Use of ORS is an example for the treatment of diarrhea.
4) Focus on Prevention:
The main focus of primary health care is not to treat disease but to prevent disease and promote health. Primary health care emphasizes health education.
5) Intersectoral Coordination:
For the successful implementation of primary health care, coordination of other sectors is necessary such as agriculture, sanitation, housing, nutrition, public workers, communication and education etc.
Thus, primary health care mainly involves 5 principles.

c) Write down demographic cycle in detail. ડેમોગ્રાફીક સાઇકલ વર્ણવો.
Demographic Cycle:
Demos means people
Graphine means the record.
Demography
The scientific study of human population and its elements i.e. size, composition and distribution is called demography. Demography means the scientific study of population.
Concept of Demography
Demography is a branch of science that studies human population and focuses on only three elements.
1) Any changes in the size of the population i.e. increase or decrease in size.
2) Structure of the population (basic of age and size).
3) Geographical distribution on the basis of state or region.
There are mainly 5 stages of demographic cycle.
1) First Stage = High Stationary Stage,
2) Second Stage = Early Expanding,
3) Third Stage = Late Expanding,
4) Fourth Stage = Low Stationary,
5) Fifth Stage = Decline Stage
1) First Stage = High Stationary Stage: In the high stationary stage, there are no changes in the size and composition of the population.
Birth Rate: ↑High
Death Rate: ↑High
Because in it, the high birth rate and high death rate, i.e. both cancel each other and due to which the population remains stationary (stable).
Till the middle of the 17th century, the world’s population was in this stage and India was in this stage till 1920.
Ex: India in 1920
2)Second Stage= Early Expanding: In the second stage, the death rate decreases in the early expanding stage because health conditions improve and the birth rate remains unchanged.
Birth rate: ↑Unchanged
Death rate: ↓Decline
In the early expanding stage, the birth rate does not change but the death rate decreases due to which there is a slight increase in the size of the population.
The world’s population was in this stage from the middle of the 17th century to the middle of the 19th century. India was in this stage from 1921 to 1950
Ex: South Asia, Africa
3)Third stage = Late expanding: In the third stage late expanding stage, the death rate declines a little more and the birth rate declines a little
Birth rate: ↓slide (slightly) decline
Death rate: ↓further decline
In the late expanding stage, the birth rate declines a little while the death rate declines a little more but since the birth rate is slightly higher than the death rate, population growth is seen in it.
Ex: china,Singapore and india
4) Fourth stage= Low Stationary: In the fourth stage low stationary stage, birth rate becomes low and death rate also becomes low due to which population is seen stationary (stable).
Birth rate: ↓low
Death rate: ↓low
