Abstract

Norplant contraceptive implants are silastic implants containing levonorgestrel. This study describes our experience with 100 acceptors of NORPLANT implants in Singapore. No pregnancies occurred during the first year of use. The majority found the method's ease of use to be the most attractive feature. Disruption of menstrual rhythm appeared to be the least liked feature. However the incidence of these menstrual irregularities appeared to diminish with time. Implant users have tolerated this early disruption of their menstrual rhythm well and the continuation rate at the end of the year was 97%. Thus it appears that Norplant is a safe, effective and acceptable method of contraception.

摘要

诺普兰避孕植入剂是含有左炔诺孕酮的硅橡胶植入物。本研究描述了我们在新加坡对100名使用诺普兰植入剂的使用者的经验。在使用的第一年没有怀孕情况发生。大多数人认为该方法易于使用是最吸引人的特点。月经周期紊乱似乎是最不受欢迎的特点。然而，这些月经不规律的发生率似乎随着时间的推移而降低。植入剂使用者对月经周期的早期紊乱耐受良好，一年结束时的续用率为97%。因此，诺普兰似乎是一种安全、有效且可接受的避孕方法。
