The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy, side-effects and continuation rate of the desogestrel-progestin-only-pill (POP) in postpartum and post-abortive Turkish women and its relation with breast-feeding.
In this prospective multicentric study women who delivered (or had surgical abortion) and wanted to receive POP for contraception were recruited to the study. The follow-up visits were scheduled at the third, sixth and ninth months.
Overall A total of 7,468 women (66.5% postpartum, 33.5% post-abortive) participated in the study. The number of women who attended follow-up visits in relation to the previous visit at the third, sixth and ninth months was 944/7,468 (12.6%), 406/944 (43%) and 121/406 (29.8%) respectively. The incidence of breastfeeding at all visits was between 54.8% and 68.4%. Out of the 7,468 women recruited only 6% continued with the method at the end of the ninth month. There was a statistically significant increase in hemoglobin level at the third month compared to initial values. Oligomenorrhea, spotting and headache were the three leading side-effects. There was no pregnancy among the patients who were followed up.
This study demonstrated that POP was an effective postpartum and post-abortive contraceptive method that had no negative impact on breast-feeding. A change in bleeding patterns was the most common side-effect. However, the possible causes of low contraceptive maintenance rates need to be investigated.
本研究旨在评估去氧孕烯单方孕激素避孕药(POP)在产后及流产后的土耳其女性中的疗效、副作用及持续使用率,以及其与母乳喂养的关系。
在这项前瞻性多中心研究中,招募了分娩(或接受手术流产)且希望使用POP进行避孕的女性。随访安排在第三个月、第六个月和第九个月。
共有7468名女性(66.5%为产后女性,33.5%为流产后女性)参与了该研究。在第三个月、第六个月和第九个月,与上次随访相比,参加随访的女性人数分别为944/7468(12.6%)、406/944(43%)和121/406(29.8%)。每次随访时母乳喂养的发生率在54.8%至68.4%之间。在招募的7468名女性中,只有6%在第九个月末继续使用该方法。与初始值相比,第三个月时血红蛋白水平有统计学显著升高。月经过少、点滴出血和头痛是三种主要的副作用。随访的患者中无妊娠情况。
本研究表明,POP是一种有效的产后及流产后避孕方法,对母乳喂养没有负面影响。出血模式改变是最常见的副作用。然而,避孕持续使用率低的可能原因需要进行调查。
