[Psychosexual changes in contraception]. / Cambios psicosexuales con la anticoncepción

PIP: The participation of a psychologist in the family planning program is very important. The use of contraceptive methods may cause psychological problems for couples, but most problems can be eliminated by adequate information. Couples should be taught that contraceptive practices will not interfere with their relations, orgasm, or normal sexual life, but may even improve them. Ignorance and erroneous beliefs should be eliminated and couples should be informed of the nature, action, and possible side effects of all contraceptive methods.^ieng
