using the method generally out weight

Female Condom
16. Male Condom Female condom
Rolled on the mans penis
Fit on the erect penis
Inserted into the woman’s vagina
Made of latex FC2 is made of nitrile and FC is made of
polyurethane
Lubricant:
Can include spermicide
Can be water-based only; cannot be oil-
based
Located on the outside of condom
Lubricant:
Can include spermicide
Can be water-based or oil-based
Located on the inside and outside of
condom
Condom must be put on an erect penis Can be inserted prior to sexual
intercourse, not dependent on erect
penis
17. Male condom Female condom
Must be removed immediately after
ejaculation
Does not need to be removed
immediately after ejaculation
Covers most of the penis and protects the
woman’s internal genitalia.
Covers both the woman’s internal and
external genitalia and the base of the
penis, which provides broader protection.
Latex condoms can decay if not stored
properly
Is not susceptible to deterioration from
temperature or humidity.
Recommended as one time use product. recommended for one time use
18. Benefits
• Help protect against STIs, including HIV
• No hormonal side effects
Side effect
Allergic reaction to latex
Condom
21. - contains two steroid
hormones-
estrogen&progesterone
- Estrogen component of
most modern COC is
ethinyloestradiol(EE) in
the dose range of 20-
50microgram
- Progesterone component
vary in different
preparations
Combined oral contraceptive (COC)
22. • Progestogen Component
– second generation(e.g.norethisterone and
levonorgestrel)
– third generation(desogestrel and gestodene)
• Third generation have a higher affinity for the
progesterone receptor and a lower affinity for
androgen receptor- LESS SIDE EFFECT
Combined oral contraceptive
23. • In theory, they confer greater efficacy with
fewer androgenic side effects
• Also have fewer effects on carbohydrate and
lipid metabolism than second generation
compounds
• However evidence has shown it has not
resulted in a reduction in the risk of arterial
wall disease or AMI
Combined oral contraceptive
24. • Monophasic-all 21 active pills contain same
amount of oestrogen and progesterone
• Biphasic-21 active pills contain 2 different
Oes/P combinations
• Triphasic-21 active pills containing 3 different
Oes/P combinations
Combined oral contraceptive-types
25. Mechanism of action
• Oestrogen component inhibits pituitary FSH
secretion-suppresses follicle growth; progesterone
component inhibits the LH surge inhibits ovulation
• Cervical mucus becomes scanty and viscous-inhibits
sperm transport
• The endometrium becomes atrophic and
unreceptive to implantation
• Possibly direct effects on the fallopian tubes
impairing sperm migration and ovum transport
Combined oral contraceptive
26. • Effectiveness
– Depends on user
– < 1 pregnancy per 100 woman used over first year
(3 per 1000 woman) if used without mistake
– Failure is greatest when woman starts a new pill
pack 3 or more days later
• Convenience
• Reversibility
– No delayed returning of fertility after COC stopped
COC - contraceptive benefits
27. • Reduction of most menstrual cycle disorders:
less heavy bleeding, therefore less anaemia,
and less dysmenorrhoea
• Regular bleeding, the timing of which can be
controlled: fewer symptoms of premenstrual
tension overall; no ovulation pain
COC - non contraceptive benefits
28. • Fewer functional ovarian cysts
• Fewer extra uterine pregnancies
• Reduction in pelvic inflammatory ds
• Fewer symptomatic fibroid
• Reduced risk of cancers of ovary and
endometrium
COC - non contraceptive benefits
29. • Weight gain: pills containing levonorgestrel(LNG)
but not desogestrel or gestodene
• Carbohydrate metabolism: minor effects on
insulin secretion
• Lipid metabolism: the effect on the ratios of total
and LDL cholesterol to HDL cholesterol depends
on the relative doses of Oestrogen/Progestrogen
and type of progesterone used
COC - limitation/side effects
30. • Venous disease:
EE causes an alteration in clotting factors ,
promoting coagulation and increasing the
relative risk of VTE in current COC users by 3-4
fold compared to women not taking COC
• COC containing 3rd generation progestogens
(desogestrel and gestodene) possibly carry a
small additional risk of VTE compared to that of
2nd generation
COC - limitation/side effects
31. Arterial disease
• relative risk of MI and haemorrhagic stroke in
current users with hypertension or who smoke is
increased more than in non smoking users
without hypertension, who are at no greater risk
than non users
• Relative risk of ischaemic stroke in normotensive
current users who do not smoke is increased
about 1.5-fold compared to non users.
COC - limitation/side effects
32. • Ideally the COCP should
be started on the first
day of menstrual
bleeding, but can be
started up to day 5
without the need for
extra protection.
• It can be started at any
other time IF THE
PATIENT IS SURE SHE IS
NOT PREGNANT, but
additional protection
e.g. condoms will be
needed for the first 7
days.
COC - when to start
33. Past or present circulatory
disease
• Proven past arterial or
venous thrombosis
• IHD
• Severe multiple risk
factors for venous or
arterial disease
• Focal migraine
• TIA
• Artherogenic lipid
disorders
Disease of the liver

during the first few
months (copper releasing
only)

expelled
• Rarely (<1:1000)
perforation of uterus
during insertion

on about day 21 is
recommended

with an inexperienced
operator,
• insertion under 6 weeks
postpartum, nulliparous
and in women with heavy
painful menses

nulliparous women have
not been observed in recent
studies

have a 3-fold increased risk
of expelling the same or
another device

Summary
there is >50% reduction in the risk of dev ovarian and endometrial cancer after 5 years of COC usage ,which lasts up to 15 years after the pill is stopped
Risk of VTE is increased by:obesity,immobility,age,congenital and acquired thrombophilia
Average 10 months after last DMPA Average 6 months after NET EN
if Deppo-Provera is started at a young age and is used more than two to five years - reversible S/E wear off take 12 to 14 weeks after stop depo
However almost half the women requesting reinsertion following expulsion,retain their second device
Weekly change for 3 weeks than off 1week Works primarily by preventing release of eggs from ovaries
Flexible ring placed in vagina Both hormones Kept for 3 weeks and removed 4 th week Preventing ovulation
