Description

Definition
FPEVUSMENREGMN indicates whether the man or any of his partners have ever used menstrual regulation to delay or avoid a pregnancy.

Menstrual regulation (MR) is recognized as part of Bangladesh's national family planning program. MR uses manual vacuum aspiration or a combination of drugs (mifepristone and misoprostol) after menstruation has not occurred for a short period.
