It’s achieved by the use of birth control methods and the treatment of involuntary infertility. It demonstrates that the Pakistan family planning program has been unable to work efficiently. To understand the constraints, academics are seeking to focus on reasons behind service delivery failures, cultural restrictions, and other relevant aspects. Furthermore, the Pakistan authorities have serious worries such as the socio-economic consequence of unrestrained population increase. The purpose of the study is to illustrate the factors influencing female’s decision regarding family planning. A cross-sectional study was conducted in Tehsil Sohawa, Punjab between August 2020 and December 2020. A data set of 210 individuals was obtained from Tehsil Sohawa, Punjab, Pakistan.

Depending on the knowledge and availability of equipment, ultrasound (ultrasound), MRI or a combination of these methods are currently used. Ultrasound is popular for its low cost and availability, and is broadly used to detect location of placental and possible anomalous growth. Place and Duration: In the Gynecology Department of Civil Hospital Quetta for six-months duration from March 2021 to September 2021 Methods: 72 total pregnant women booked on the third trimester of pregnancy (diagnosed with early ultrasound) with diagnosis of the placenta previa were selected. Women in the primigravid group and females with pregnancies complicated by heart disease, diabetes and hypertension were omitted from the analysis. Color Doppler ultrasound was performed in all patients and the absence or presence of morbidly adherent placenta previa was detected. The results of the...
