Many doctors are opposed to the morning-after pill and do not require the patient

The morning-after pill has always been a controversial topic, I do not know if the levels of the abortion pill but certainly this type of drugs are not "digested" by all in the same way. Superficial or open mind? I think we can talk about this but one way or another, is a double issue that affects both doctors and patients.

The problem with these drugs is that often, especially by the younger girls, are merged with the regular contraceptives, and that is certainly a little lightness index of maturity. One thing is very worrying that about 50% of 8000 people who have turned to the health service over three years to see each prescribed the morning after pill, have had to deal with rejection.

In any case, nobody is going to ask a light heart, no matter what happened, so it seems to me something very right. Once upon a time the divorce and abortion were unthinkable, are now normal, denying a drug appears to me that you go back again, when a woman was mistress of her body and her life.

I will not enter into the details, but does not seem right that one in two women applying for a morning-after pill is seen closing the door on the doctor who pays the taxes! The data collected showed that physicians who refused the drug, 34% work in the emergency room doctor on duty at 30%, 25% in counseling and 11% are family physicians.

Emilio Arisi, president of SMIC (Italian Medical Society of contraception) said: "The data provided by the 'Value Sos pill' after should give us pause. This is an important tool to limit the use of a pregnancy, where the figures for the period 1998-2008 are clear: although there is evidence of a steady decline in the number of abortions is in the 15-19 age group that is registered decrease by less, at -4.2%, against -22% for the group 20-29 years and a national average of -12%.

Annibale Volpe, director of the Clinic of Gynecology, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia added: "It 's important that women know that the doctor is still bound to inform on where in the shortest possible time limitation. This aspect is crucial. The morning-after pill on the market in Italy, which must be made within 72 hours, as well as the so-called five days after the pill, not yet available in our country, should be taken as soon as possible because, for both, the efficiency is greater in the first 12-24 hours.

Therefore, if the doctor did not provide this information to the woman would be responsible for delayed drug, and hence its lower efficacy. What do you think? Did you find yourself faced with a no?
