Women in Pakistan, India and Sri Lanka and other parts of the world have long used papaya as a folk remedy for contraception and abortion. Medical research in animals has confirmed the contraceptive and abortifacient capability of papaya, and also found that papaya seeds have contraceptive effects in adult male langur monkeys, possibly in adult male humans as well. Unripe papaya is especially effective, in large amounts or high doses. Papaya is not teratogenic and will not cause miscarriage in small, ripe amounts. Phytochemicals in papaya may suppress the effects of progesterone.

PAPAYA TERMINATES PREGNENCY-
If you are pregnant or trying to become pregnant, avoid eating papaya or using a papaya product. Papaya is sometimes recommended for soothing indigestion, which is a common ailment during pregnancy. Although a fully ripe papaya is not considered dangerous, a papaya that is at all unripe contains a latex substance that triggers uterine contractions and may cause a miscarriage.
The papaya enzyme that helps soothe indigestion is called papain, or vegetable pepsin. Papain is found in the fruit's latex and leaves. 1. Researchers have noted that unripe papaya latex acts like prostaglandin and oxytocin, which the body makes to start labor. 2. Synthetic prostaglandin and oxytocin are commonly used to start or strengthen labor contractions...

Papaya is considered as a fruit that generates heat in the body, Hence from ancient times papaya is not recommended for consumption during pregnancy as people fear that this may cause abortion. The child in the foetus also may not tolerate such excess heat in the system. nagarajan.
