TEXT
. Contraception.
Contraception is prevention of the
fertilization of an egg by a sperm (conception) or the attachment of the
fertilized egg to the lining of the uterus (implantation).
There are several methods of
contraception. None is completely effective, but some methods are far more
reliable than others. Each contraceptive method has advantages and
disadvantages. Choice of method depends on a person's lifestyle and preferences
and on the degree of reliability needed.
TEXT A. Hormonal Methods
The hormones used to prevent conception
include estrogen and progestins (drugs similar to the hormone progesterone).
Hormonal methods prevent pregnancy mainly by stopping the ovaries from
releasing eggs or by keeping the mucus in the cervix thick so that sperm cannot
pass through the cervix into the uterus. Thus, hormonal methods prevent the egg
from being fertilized.
Oral
Contraceptives
Oral contraceptives, commonly known as the
pill, contain hormones—either a combination of a progestin and estrogen or a
progestin alone.
Combination tablets are typically taken
once a day for 3 weeks, not taken for a week (allowing the menstrual period to
occur), then started again. Inactive tablets may be included for the week when
combination tablets are not taken to establish a routine of taking one tablet a
day. Fewer than 0.2% of women who take combination tablets as instructed become
pregnant during the first year of use. However, the chances of becoming
pregnant increase if a woman skips or forgets to take a tablet, especially the
first ones in a monthly cycle.
The dose of estrogen in combination
tablets varies. Usually, combination tablets with a low dose of estrogen (20 to
35 micrograms) are used because they have fewer serious side effects than those
with a high dose (50 micrograms). Healthy women who do not smoke can take
low-dose estrogen combination contraceptives without interruption until
menopause.
Progestin-only tablets are taken every day
of the month. They often cause irregular bleeding. About 0.5 to 5% of women who
take these tablets become pregnant. Progestin-only tablets are usually
prescribed only when taking estrogen may be harmful. For example, these tablets
may be prescribed for women who are breastfeeding because estrogen reduces the
amount and quality of breast milk produced. Progestin-only tablets do not
affect breast milk production.
Before starting oral contraceptives, a
woman should have a physical examination, including measurement of blood
pressure, to make sure she has no health problems that would make taking the
contraceptives risky for her. If she or a close relative has had diabetes or
heart disease, a blood test is usually performed to measure levels of
cholesterol, other fats (lipids), and sugar (glucose). If the cholesterol or
sugar level is high or other lipid levels are abnormal, doctors may still
prescribe a low-dose estrogen combination contraceptive. However, they
periodically perform blood tests to monitor the woman's lipid and sugar levels.
Three months after starting oral contraceptives, the woman should have another
examination to be sure her blood pressure has not changed. After that, she
should have an examination at least once a year.
Also before starting oral contraceptives,
a woman should discuss with her doctor the advantages and disadvantages of oral
contraceptives for her situation.
Advantages: The main
advantage is reliable, continuous contraception if oral contraceptives are
taken as instructed. Also, taking oral contraceptives reduces the occurrence of
menstrual cramps, premenstrual syndrome, irregular bleeding, anemia, breast
cysts, ovarian cysts, mislocated (ectopic) pregnancies (almost always in the
fallopian tubes), and infections of the fallopian tubes. Also, women who have
taken oral contraceptives are less likely to develop rheumatoid arthritis or
osteoporosis.
Taking oral contraceptives reduces the
risk of developing several types of cancer, including uterine (endometrial)
cancer, ovarian, colon, and rectal cancers. The risk is reduced for many years
after the contraceptives are discontinued. Breast cancer is slightly more
likely to be diagnosed in women while they are taking oral contraceptives but
not after the contraceptives are discontinued, even in women who have a family
history of breast cancer.
Oral contraceptives taken early in a
pregnancy do not harm the fetus. However, they should be discontinued as soon
as the woman realizes she is pregnant. Oral contraceptives do not have any
long-term effects on fertility, although a woman may not release an egg
(ovulate) for a few months after discontinuing the drugs.
Disadvantages: The disadvantages
of oral contraceptives may include bothersome side effects. Irregular bleeding
is common during the first few months of oral contraceptive use but usually
stops as the body adjusts to the hormones. Also, taking oral contraceptives
every day, without any breaks, for several months can reduce the number of
bleeding episodes.
Some side effects are related to the
estrogen in the tablet. They may include nausea, bloating, fluid retention, an
increase in blood pressure, breast tenderness, and migraine headaches. Others
are related mostly to the type or dose of the progestin. They may include mood
disorders, weight gain, acne, and nervousness. Some women who take oral
contraceptives gain 3 to 5 pounds because of fluid retention. They may gain
even more because appetite also increases. Some women have headaches and
difficulty sleeping. Many of these side effects are uncommon with the low-dose
tablets.
In some women, oral contraceptives cause
dark patches (melasma) on the face, similar to those that may occur during
pregnancy. Exposure to the sun darkens the patches even more. If the woman
discontinues oral contraceptives, the dark patches slowly fade.
Taking oral contraceptives increases the
risk of developing some disorders. The risk of developing blood clots in the
veins is higher for women who take combination oral contraceptives than for
those who do not. The risk is 7 times higher with tablets containing a high
dose of estrogen. However, the risk is 2 to 4 times higher with tablets
containing a low dose of estrogen: This risk is half of that during pregnancy.
Because surgery also increases the risk of developing blood clots, a woman must
discontinue oral contraceptives a month before major elective surgery and not
take them again until a month afterward. Because the risk of developing blood
clots in leg veins is high during pregnancy and for a few weeks after delivery,
doctors recommend that women wait 2 weeks after delivery before they take oral
contraceptives. For healthy women who do not smoke, taking low-dose estrogen
combination tablets does not increase the risk of having a stroke or heart
attack.
Use of oral contraceptives, particularly
for more than 5 years, may increase the risk of developing cervical cancer.
Women who are taking oral contraceptives should have a Papanicolaou (Pap) test
at least once a year. Such tests can detect precancerous changes in the cervix
early—before they lead to cancer.
The likelihood of developing gallstones
increases during the first few years of oral contraceptive use, then decreases.
For women in certain situations, the risk
of developing certain disorders is substantially increased if they take oral
contraceptives. For example, women who are older than 35 and who smoke should
not use oral contraceptives because the risk of heart attack is increased. For
women who have certain disorders, risks are increased if they take oral
contraceptives. But if closely monitored by a health care practitioner, such
women may be able to take oral contraceptives.
Some sedatives, antibiotics, and
antifungals can reduce the effectiveness of oral contraceptives. Women taking
oral contraceptives may become pregnant if they simultaneously take one of
these drugs.
TEXT B. Skin Patches and Vaginal Rings
Skin patches and vaginal rings that
contain estrogen and a progestin are used for 3 of 4 weeks. In the fourth week,
no contraception is used to allow the menstrual period to occur.
A contraceptive skin patch is placed on
the skin once a week for 3 weeks. The patch is left in place for 1 week, then
removed, and a new patch is placed on a different area of the skin. During the
fourth week, no patch is used. Exercise and use of saunas or hot tubs do not
displace the patches.
A vaginal ring is a small plastic device
that is placed in the vagina and left there for 3 weeks. Then it is removed for
1 week. A woman can place and remove the vaginal ring herself. The ring comes
in one size and can be placed anywhere in the vagina. Usually, the ring is not
felt by the woman's partner during intercourse. A new ring is used each month.
With either method, a woman has a regular
menstrual period. Spotting or bleeding between periods (breakthrough bleeding)
is uncommon. Side effects and restrictions on use are similar to those of
combination oral contraceptives.
TEXT C. Contraceptive Implants
Contraceptive implants are plastic
capsules or rods containing a progestin. After numbing the skin with an
anesthetic, a doctor makes a small incision or uses a needle to place the
implants under the skin of the inner arm above the elbow. No stitches are necessary.
The implants release the progestin slowly into the bloodstream. No implants are
currently available in the United States. A single plastic implant, which is
inserted through a needle and is effective for 3 years (but must be removed
through an incision), will soon be available.
The most common side effects are irregular
or no menstrual periods during the first year of use. After that, periods
frequently become regular. Headaches and weight gain may also occur. These side
effects prompt some women to have the implants removed. Because the implants do
not dissolve in the body, a doctor has to remove them. Removal is more difficult
than insertion because tissue under the skin thickens around the implants.
Removal may result in a minor scar. As soon as the implants are removed, the
ovaries return to their normal functioning, and the woman becomes fertile
again.
TEXT D. Contraceptive Injections
Two contraceptive formulations are
available as injections. Each is injected by a health care practitioner into a
muscle of the arm or buttocks, and each is very effective as a contraceptive.
Medroxyprogesterone
acetate,
a progestin, is injected once every 3 months. Medroxyprogesterone
acetate
can completely disrupt the menstrual cycle. About one third of women using this
contraceptive have no menstrual bleeding during the 3 months after the first
injection, and another third have irregular bleeding and spotting for more than
11 days each month. After this contraceptive is used for a while, irregular
bleeding occurs less often. After 2 years, about 70% of the women have no
bleeding at all. When the injections are discontinued, a regular menstrual
cycle resumes in about half of the women within 6 months and in about three
fourths within 1 year. Fertility may not return for up to a year after
injections are discontinued.
Side effects include a slight weight gain
and a temporary decrease in bone density. Bones usually return to their
previous density after the injections are discontinued. Medroxyprogesterone
acetate
does not increase the risk of developing any cancer, including breast cancer.
It greatly reduces the risk of developing uterine (endometrial) cancer.
Interactions with other drugs are uncommon.
The other formulation is a once-a-month
injection. It contains estrogen and a much smaller amount of medroxyprogesterone
acetate
than the injections given every 3 months. Consequently, bleeding usually occurs
regularly about 2 weeks after each injection is given, and bone density does
not decrease. Because the dose of medroxyprogesterone
acetate
is lower, fertility returns much more rapidly after the injections are
discontinued.
TEXT E. Emergency Contraception
Emergency contraception, the so-called
morning-after pill, involves the use of hormones within 72 hours after one act
of unprotected sexual intercourse or after one occasion when a contraceptive
method fails (for example, if a condom breaks).
Two regimens are available. The more
effective regimen consists of one dose of levonorgestrel, a progestin,
followed by another dose 12 hours later. With this regimen, about 1% of women
become pregnant, and fewer side effects occur than with the other regimen.
Alternatively, two tablets of a combination oral contraceptive are taken within
72 hours of the unprotected intercourse. Then two more tablets are taken 12
hours later. With this regimen, only about 2% of women become pregnant, but as
many as 50% have nausea and 20% vomit. Antiemetic drugs, such as hydroxyzine
taken
by mouth, are given to prevent nausea and vomiting.
TEXT F. Barrier Contraceptives
Barrier contraceptives physically block
the sperm's access to a woman's uterus. They include the condom (male or
female), diaphragm, and cervical cap.
|
|
|
Blocking Access: Barrier
Contraceptives
|
|
Barrier
contraceptives prevent sperm from entering a woman's uterus. They include
condoms, diaphragms, and cervical caps. Some condoms contain spermicides.
Spermicides should be used with condoms and other barrier contraceptives
that do not already contain them.
|
|
Condoms made of latex are
the only contraceptives that provide protection against sexually transmitted
diseases, including those due to bacteria (such as gonorrhea and syphilis) as
well as those due to viruses (such as HIV—human immunodeficiency
virus—infection). However, this protection, though considerable, is not
complete. Male condoms made of polyurethane also provide protection, but they
are thinner and more likely to tear. Male condoms made of lambskin do not
protect against viral infections such as HIV infection and thus are not
recommended.
Condoms must be used correctly to be
effective. With some male condoms, the tip needs to be positioned so that it
extends about ½ inch beyond the penis to provide a space to collect semen.
Other male condoms have a reservoir at the tip for this purpose. Immediately
after ejaculation, the penis should be withdrawn while the condom's rim is held
firmly against the base of the penis to prevent the condom from slipping off
and spilling semen. The condom should then be removed carefully. If semen is
spilled, sperm could enter the vagina, resulting in pregnancy. A new condom
should be used after each ejaculation, and the condom should be discarded if
its integrity is in doubt. A spermicide, which may be included in the condom's
lubricant or inserted separately into the vagina, increases the effectiveness
of condoms.
The female condom is held in the vagina by
a ring. It resembles a male condom but is larger and is not as effective.
The diaphragm, a dome-shaped rubber
cup with a flexible rim, is inserted into the vagina and positioned over the
cervix. A diaphragm prevents sperm from entering the uterus.
Diaphragms come in various sizes and must
be fitted by a health care practitioner, who also teaches the woman how to
insert it. A diaphragm should cover the entire cervix without causing
discomfort. Neither the woman nor her partner should notice its presence. A
contraceptive cream or jelly should always be used with a diaphragm, in case
the diaphragm is displaced during intercourse. The diaphragm is inserted before
intercourse and should remain in place for at least 8 hours but no more than 24
hours afterward. If sexual intercourse is repeated while the diaphragm is in
place, additional spermicide should be inserted into the vagina to continue
protection. If a woman has gained or lost more than 10
pounds, has had a diaphragm for more than a year, or has had a baby or an
abortion, she must be refitted for a diaphragm because the vagina's size and
shape may have changed. During the first year of diaphragm use, the percentage
of women who become pregnant varies from about 3% when the diaphragm is used
correctly to about 14% when it is used the way most people use it.
The cervical cap resembles the
diaphragm but is smaller and more rigid. It fits snugly over the cervix.
Cervical caps must be fitted by a health care practitioner. A contraceptive cream
or jelly should always be used with a cervical cap. The cap is inserted before
intercourse and left in place for at least 8 hours after intercourse, up to 48
hours at a time.
TEXT G. Spermicides
Spermicides are preparations that kill
sperm on contact. They are available as vaginal foams, creams, gels, and
suppositories and are placed in the vagina before sexual intercourse. These
contraceptives also provide a physical barrier to sperm. No single type of
preparation seems to be more effective than another. They are best used in
combination with a barrier contraceptive, such as a male condom, female condom,
or diaphragm.
TEXT Н. Intrauterine
Devices
Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are small,
flexible plastic devices that are inserted into the uterus. An IUD is left in
place for 5 or 10 years, depending on the type, or until the woman wants the
device removed. IUDs must be inserted and removed by a doctor or other health
care practitioner. Insertion takes only a few minutes. Removal is also quick
and usually causes minimal discomfort. IUDs kill or immobilize sperm and
prevent fertilization of the egg.

Understanding
Intrauterine Devices
|
|
Intrauterine
devices (IUDs) are inserted by a doctor into a woman's uterus through the
vagina. IUDs are made of molded plastic. One type releases copper from a
copper wire wrapped around the base; the other type releases a progestin. A
plastic string is attached, so that a woman can check to make sure the
device is still in place.
|
|
Two types of IUDs are currently available
in the United States. One type, which releases a progestin, is effective for 5
years. The other, which releases copper, is effective for at least 10 years.
One year after removal of an IUD, 80 to 90% of women who try to conceive do so.
An IUD inserted up to 1 week after one act
of unprotected sexual intercourse is nearly 100% effective as a method of
emergency contraception.
The uterus is briefly contaminated with
bacteria at the time of insertion, but an infection rarely results. After the
first month of use, an IUD does not increase the risk of a pelvic infection.
Bleeding and pain are the main reasons
that women have IUDs removed, accounting for more than half of all removals
before the usual replacement time. The copper-releasing IUD increases the
amount of menstrual bleeding. In contrast, the progestin-releasing IUD reduces
or, after 6 months of use, completely prevents menstrual bleeding.
About 10% of IUDs are expelled during the
first year after insertion, often during the first few months. A plastic string
is usually attached to the IUD so that a woman can check every so often,
especially after a period, to make sure that the IUD is still in place. If she
cannot find the string, she should use another contraceptive method until she
can see her health care practitioner to determine whether the IUD is still in
place. If another IUD is inserted after one has been expelled, it usually stays
in place.
Rarely, the uterus is perforated during
insertion. Usually, perforation does not cause symptoms. It is discovered when
a woman cannot find the plastic string and ultrasonography or x-rays show the
IUD located outside the uterus. An IUD that perforates the uterus and passes into
the abdominal cavity must be surgically removed to prevent it from injuring and
scarring the intestine.
The risk of miscarriage is about 55% in
women who become pregnant with an IUD in place. If a woman wishes to continue
the pregnancy and the string of the IUD is visible, a doctor removes the IUD to
reduce the risk of miscarriage. For women who conceive with an IUD in place,
the likelihood of having a mislocated (ectopic) pregnancy is about 5%—5 times
higher than usual. Nonetheless, the risk of an ectopic pregnancy is much lower
for women using IUDs than for those not using a contraceptive method, because
IUDs prevent pregnancy effectively.
TEXT 4 I. Timing Methods
Some contraceptive methods depend on
timing rather than on drugs or devices.
Natural Family
Planning Methods
Natural family planning (rhythm) methods
depend on abstinence from sexual intercourse during the woman's fertile time of
the month. In most women, the ovary releases an egg about 14 days before the
start of a menstrual period. Although the unfertilized egg survives only about
12 hours, sperm can survive for as long as 6 days after intercourse.
Consequently, fertilization can result from intercourse that occurred up to 6
days before the release of the egg.
The calendar method is the least effective
natural family planning method, even for women who have regular menstrual
cycles. To calculate when to abstain from intercourse, women subtract 18 days
from the shortest and 11 days from the longest of their previous 12 menstrual
cycles. For example, if a woman's cycles last from 26 to 29 days, she must
avoid intercourse from day 8 through day 18 of each cycle.
Other, more effective natural family
planning methods include the temperature, mucus, and symptothermal methods.
For the temperature method, a woman
determines the temperature of the body at rest (basal body temperature) by
taking her temperature each morning before she gets out of bed. This
temperature decreases before the egg is released and increases slightly after
the egg is released. The couple avoids intercourse from the beginning of the
woman's menstrual period until at least 48 hours after the day her basal body
temperature increased.
For the mucus method, the woman's fertile
period is established by observing cervical mucus, which is usually secreted in
larger amounts and becomes more watery shortly before the egg is released. The
woman can have intercourse with a low risk of conception after her menstrual
period ends until she observes an increase in the amount of cervical mucus. She
then avoids intercourse until 4 days after the largest amount of mucus has been
observed.
The symptothermal method involves
observing changes in both cervical mucus and basal body temperature as well as
other symptoms that may be associated with the release of the egg, such as
slight cramping pain. Of the natural family planning methods, this one is the
most reliable.
Withdrawal Before
Ejaculation
To prevent sperm from entering the vagina,
a man can withdraw the penis from the vagina before ejaculation, when sperm are
released during orgasm. This method, also called coitus interruptus, is not
reliable because sperm may be released before orgasm. It also requires that the
man have a high degree of self-control and precise timing.
