Showing papers in "Contraception in 2001"

TL;DR: Emotional and sexual side effects were the best predictors of discontinuation/switching of oral contraceptives, yet such OC effects have been largely ignored in the research literature.

TL;DR: It is found that the possibility of late ovulation produces a persistent risk of pregnancy even into the sixth week of the cycle, and post-coital contraceptives may be indicated even when intercourse has occurred late in the cycle.

TL;DR: This paper focuses on the research efforts undertaken to understand how emergency contraception methods act to prevent pregnancy and to identify what is known and what are the important gaps that need to be addressed.

TL;DR: The effects of short-term administration of levonorgestrel (LNG) at different stages of the ovarian cycle on the pituitary-ovarian axis, corpus luteum function, and endometrium were investigated as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of pretreatment counseling upon discontinuation of 150 mg depot-medroxyprogesterone acetate (Depo-Provera) given for contraception was evaluated.

TL;DR: It is suggested that LNG acts as an emergency contraceptive by other mechanisms as well as delaying the LH surge and interfering with ovulation.

TL;DR: Results suggest that ACIDFORM has advantages over presently marketed vaginal delivery systems and may either be useful by itself as an antimicrobial contraceptive product or as a formulation vehicle for an active ingredient with antimicrobial and/or contraceptive properties.

TL;DR: The trial demonstrated that the vaginal misoprostol was more effective at inducing an early medical abortion at 1 day after low-dose mifepristone, and the regimen could be extended to 63 days gestation.

TL;DR: Spermicidal GMs have unprecedented potential as dual function microbicidal contraceptives to improve vaginal bioavailability of poorly soluble antimicrobial agents without causing significant vaginal damage.

TL;DR: The low-dose OC containing 20 microg EE/100 microg LNG is safe, well tolerated, and does not cause weight gain, and side effects commonly attributed to OCs were similar between groups.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated symptoms and signs of genital irritation, vaginal leakage and acceptability of polystyrene sulfonate (PSS), which is being studied as a vaginal contraceptive and microbicide.

TL;DR: IUD insertion is a safe and effective method for emergency contraception for both parous and nulliparous women, and one of the advantages of using an IUD is its long-term contraceptive effect, if the women prefer to continue its use.

TL;DR: In this paper, drug levels, patterns of changes, factors affecting drug levels and concentrations at which pregnancies occurred were examined in a multicenter, 7-year study of 199 users of Jadelle rod implants.

TL;DR: It is found that BV was associated with IUDs and that other studies reported that both BV and Iuds were associated with pelvic inflammatory disease, a Gram stain evaluation of BV may be considered prior to IUD insertion.

TL;DR: This article performed a meta-analysis and formal sensitivity analysis of studies that examined the relative risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) for desogestrel and gestodene versus levonorgestrel.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new route of sublingual administration of misoprostol was used by 25 women with first trimester, non-viable intrauterine gestation and by 18 women requesting mid-trimester termination of pregnancy.

TL;DR: Both implants appear to induce mild insulin resistance but no significant change in serum glucose levels, and alterations in carbohydrate metabolism should have no clinical significance in healthy women.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the literature on intrauterine devices (IUDs) published over the last 30 years and selected and analyzed recent and most relevant (with appropriate methodology design) articles dealing with the risk factors for IUD failure.

TL;DR: Young women who request emergency contraception are, despite a planned follow-up with contraceptive counseling, a high risk group for new unintended pregnancies in Sweden and in Sweden they do not seem to be a highrisk group for STD.

TL;DR: In this paper, the clinical efficacy of mifepristone 200 mg followed on the same day by misoprostol 800 microg vaginally in women with pregnancies up to 49 days gestation was examined.

TL;DR: Surgical techniques and postoperative practices for second-trimester abortions are similar among NAF members in North America and Australia, suggesting that NAF's efforts to promulgate best practices using evidence-based guidelines are succeeding.

TL;DR: At almost equivalent estrogen doses, a phasic OC containing DSG compared with LNG has a less androgenic effect on lipoproteins and SHBG, similar effects on hemostatic parameters with lower protein S and factor V activity and equivalent effects on carbohydrate metabolism.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated ovarian function during 6 months of continuous use of progestin-only vaginal rings delivering three different doses of NES: 50, 75, and 100 μg per day.

TL;DR: It is indicated that if women know of EC, where to get it, and how soon to take it, they would use it if needed, and attitudes toward its use were found to be positive, with 90.3% indicating that they will use itIf needed.

TL;DR: DMPA users had a significantly higher weight increase when compared to IUD users, and this cohort of women increased weight throughout the 5 years with the use of DMPA or IUD.

TL;DR: While providing the diaphragm requires training and good client-provider interaction, the requirements are consistent with those called for in the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD, 1994).

TL;DR: A public education media campaign resulted in significant increases in knowledge about emergency contraception, and the first contraception advertisement ever shown on television did not provoke controversy.

TL;DR: MRI is the best method for the unequivocal localization of nonpalpable, ultrasonographically not detectable Implanon rods and to avoid unnecessary scar tissue formation it may be appropriate to defer surgery for the removal until definitive localization.

TL;DR: In conclusion, a combination of mifepristone and gemeprost is a safe, effective, and noninvasive method of medical abortion for second trimester pregnancy.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the contraceptive efficacy and clinical performance of a Nestorone subdermal implant (NES) in the postpartum period and found no effect of NES on lactation and infant growth and no serious adverse events.
