Abstract Background: The usage of modern contraceptives has increased in the Indian population according to the National Health and Family Survey-5 and a large chunk of this included sterilisation. The females undergoing sterilisation are usually multiparous women with poor birth spacing and post-natal complications. Hence, it is important to increase the percentage of women using reversible methods of contraception which can be done by counselling them about these methods. Aim: To study the awareness and acceptability of reversible contraceptive methods. Materials and Methods: A cross-section

Abstract:

AbstractDespite the projected impact of new male contraceptives, resources and investments directed at their development remain limited in part due to concerns that men would not actually use them. Now, more than 30 studies have been conducted over the last 30 years—regionally and internationally, within clinical trials, and across populations—examining men and women's attitudes towards new male contraceptive methods, all consistently demonstrating interest in and willingness to use new methods. Yet even these studies, inclusive of competitive contraceptive market projections, seem not to be c

Abstract:

Early fatherhood is common in the United States (U.S.). The emergency department (ED) plays a disproportionate role in serving patients with unmet reproductive and sexual health needs. With 8 million adolescent males visiting U.S. EDs annually, the ED is a potential site to implement interventions to minimize early fatherhood and unintended teenage pregnancy. Little is known about how adolescent male ED patients perceive and behave in sexual relationships and how they influence contraceptive decision making.

Abstract:

AbstractIn Germany one-third of the women in fertile age use combined oral contraceptives (COCs), which consist mostly of ethinylestradiol (EE) and a synthetic progestin. Older COCs with norethisterone or levonorgestrel have a lower risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE) than newer COCs with desogestrel, drospirenone, or gestodene. This is also true for nonoral combined hormonal contraceptives. The risk of newer COCs containing estradiol instead of EE is not clear due to missing data. Progestin-only hormonal contraception is not associated with a significant increase of the risk for VTE with th

Emergency contraception is a method that can be used in risky sexual intercourse and also in cases of sexual violence. Overuse of EC can cause a number of health problems and should only be used in extreme cases. This study aimed to describe the possible risks associated with the use of emergency contraceptives, their most common side effects, and mechanism of action. To this end, an integrative review of the literature with a qualitative approach was used regarding the risks of emergency contraceptive abuse.
