Birth Control Pills (The "Pill") Defined

Short for birth control pills, or oral contraceptives, which are taken by women to prevent pregnancy. The Pill is made of hormones like the ones a woman's body produces. Different Pills work in different ways: by preventing release of an egg from a woman's ovary (ovulation); by increasing cervical mucus to block sperm; or by creating a thin uterine environment preventing implantation of a fertilized egg in the uterus. Used correctly, the Pill is very effective in preventing pregnancy, but offers no protection against STDs.

This definition is in context to Sexual Health. See more contextual defintions for Birth Control Pills (The "Pill").
