Norplant-2 contraceptive implants consist of two silastic rods in which levonorgestrel has been incorporated with the polymer. This study describes our experience with 100 acceptors of the Norplant-2 rods in Singapore. No pregnancies occurred during the first year of use. Menstrual irregularities was the main complaint associated with the use of Norplant-2. However, the incidence of menstrual irregularities appeared to diminish with time and the continuation rate at the end of one year was 95.0 per cent. Thus, it appears that the Norplant-2 rod systems offer a highly effective, convenient means of contraception which should be well accepted in future.
诺普兰-2型避孕植入剂由两根硅橡胶棒组成,左炔诺孕酮已与聚合物混合在其中。本研究描述了我们在新加坡对100名使用诺普兰-2型棒的使用者的经验。在使用的第一年没有怀孕情况发生。月经不规律是与使用诺普兰-2型相关的主要问题。然而,月经不规律的发生率似乎随着时间推移而降低,一年结束时的持续使用率为95.0%。因此,诺普兰-2型棒系统似乎提供了一种高效、便捷的避孕方式,未来应该会被广泛接受。
