51% of Australian women have had an unplanned pregnancy. This month on COG we talk about contraception. The World Health Organisation estimates that if every couple used contraception perfectly every single time they had sex, there would still be six million unplanned pregnancies each year worldwide.
First up we talk to Dr Catrina Melville, an Obstetrician and Gynecologist who specialises in sexual health. Then we chat with Dr Ander Faber-Swenson about the current evidence around salpingectomy as a sterilisation procedure and prevention of ovarian cancer.
