Patient Q & A Section
Can contraception be cured?
To our knowledge, this is the first study to present evidence that anosmia can be cured with an implant based on the same strategy used to treat vaginismus.
How many people get contraception a year in the United States?
Approximately 20 million US women use a form of contraception that can prevent STD each year. As an extra reminder of the importance of ensuring appropriate contraception, the annual number of new pregnancies prevented is 3.6 million. It's important to be aware of disparities in access, use and coverage throughout the country. The most common reasons for not using effective birth control are shame and embarrassment. Prevention strategies also can be tailored to meet an individual's needs including offering a range of methods, providing information and support to help users maintain use or assist in the choice of a long-acting method to promote continuous use. In addition, educating men, family members, employers and school staff on the importance of family planning can increase its availability.
What is contraception?
There are four main types of contraception: natural contraception, non-hormonal contraception, hormonal contraception and sterilization. There are additional methods and devices that are either used mostly or only by non-Western societies, for example, sterilization by tubal ligation in India. All forms of contraception are associated with the prevention of pregnancy, the provision of menstrual cycle health, cervical cancer and protection from sexually transmitted infections. The latter include the prevention of AIDS.
What are the signs of contraception?
While women may be reluctant to discuss contraceptive method choice, they are generally open and willing to do so; however, they may still underestimate their symptoms and concerns about their contraception. For many women, the main concerns about their contraceptive method are pregnancy concerns (especially fear of unwanted pregnancy and fear of unintended pregnancy/previous miscarriage) or infertility concerns (especially fear of infertility and infertility-related issues).
What causes contraception?
The main reasons women need contraception are unsafe sex, unwanted pregnancy, and lack of sexual control. Many of these issues are complicated and are often due to societal pressures and gender inequality. For instance, most of the unsafe sex that leads to pregnancy is due to male behavior and social pressures, including sexual harassment and the risks of STDs, violence, and pregnancy, as well as gender-based assumptions over the male and female roles in intercourse.
What are common treatments for contraception?
The use of hormonal contraceptives has increased, whereas the use of intrauterine devices and sterilization has declined during the past decade in Norway. Both oral contraceptives and intrauterine devices are equally used. The use of the contraceptive patch is increasing. The use of barrier methods has declined, despite the fact that condoms have come to be a method of choice for men. The use of condoms is not an option for men, regardless of ethnicity or sexual orientation.
How serious can contraception be?
Although recent studies are suggesting that some contraceptive methods are not quite as dangerous as previously believed, the vast number of contraceptive users are not at risk of significant medical harm. In the USA, the contraceptive pills and patch have the highest number of emergency department visits for contraceptive-related side effects in women of reproductive age (3-6 million). We recommend that women be reminded that, in fact, these contraceptive devices do carry a very important risk: pregnancy.
What does etonogestrel usually treat?
The prescription of etonogestrel depends significantly on the prescribing physician's interpretation of the patient's age, number of previous pregnancies, and previous hormonal therapy. Etonogestrel is probably not a contraceptive medication. It is not recommended as a single agent for a first cycle of in vitro fertilization. It is recommended as an alternative to intrauterine devices to postpone first conception. It is used in combination with the use of progestins other than progesterone to treat or prevent ovulatory disturbances in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome.
What is the average age someone gets contraception?
The average age someone uses contraception is between 16–18. In general, women are using contraceptive pills for the longer time of their life than men are. This can be a good thing since that keeps people from having babies too early or too late in their life. However, people with health issues or medical conditions are using contraceptives less because they need the contraceptives to help manage those condition. [Figures from UNFPA]].
Has etonogestrel proven to be more effective than a placebo?
Etonogestrel is not more effective than a placebo when used as part of combined birth control pills in the prevention of implantation and gestation defects.
How does etonogestrel work?
Most patients consider etonogestrel to be highly effective and reliable, and most see no limitation to using it without an IUD. Etonogestrel is highly effective as contraception. Most patients also see no limitation to using it without IUD.
Is etonogestrel typically used in combination with any other treatments?
Results from a recent clinical trial has shown that Etonogestrel is mostly used in combination with other contraceptive agents. A combination containing etonogestrel and a progestogen with or without an levonorgestrel component has been shown to be well tolerated and effective with no clinically relevant adverse effects reported.
