==World population growth==
 
-
*Population growth is logarithmic since around 1950.
 
-
*The world is growing at about 1.8% each year.
 
-
*Every minute, a woman dies of pregnancy / childbirth complications.
 
-
**99% of these deaths occur in developing countries.
 
-
**1 million children left motherless.
 
-
*Maternal mortality rates vary from 1/7 (Niger) to 1/17.4k (Sweden).
 
 +
 +
familyplanning
-
*Birth control is controversial for three reasons:
+
Reality
-
**Personal issues
+
-
**Religious issues
+
-
**Political issues
+
-
==Counseling==
+
-
*Counseling about contraception is important.
+
-
*10% of women don't use birth control.
+
-
*53% of unintended pregnancies result from these 10% of women (who aren't using birth control).
+
-
*Abortions are highest in those less than 15yo.
+
-
**Abortions decrease as the woman ages to 30-34.
+
-
**Abortions increase again from 35 and up.
+
-
*In 2002 there were 6.4 million pregnancies.
+
Objectives
-
**51% were intended
+
-
**49% were unintended
+
-
***22% were unintended ''births''
+
-
***20% were elective abortions
+
-
***7% were fetal losses
+
 +
 +
Review basic statistics concerning population growth and pregnancy rates
-
*Of unintended pregnancies that proceed to live births,
+
-
**1/4 are '''"unwanted"'''
+
Review basic contraceptive options
-
**3/4 are '''"mistimed"'''
+
 +
 +
Review sterilization options
-
*Of unintended pregnancies that proceed to live births, about 40% of women were using contraceptives at the time of conception.
 
-
==Abortion rates==
 
-
*The United States of America aborts 22.9 of each 1000 fetuses.
 
-
*Australia: 22.2 / 1000
 
-
==Birth Controls==
+
World Population Growth
-
*There are two categories of birth control: contraception (prevent conception) and implant preventors.
+
-
*Contraceptions include:
+
-
**OCPs
+
-
**Norplant
+
-
**Depo-Provera
+
-
**Condoms
+
-
**Diaphragm
+
-
**Foam
+
-
**Rhythm
+
-
**IUDs
+
-
*Implant preventors include IUDs and morning after pills.
+
 +
33
-
*The most commonly used birth control is tubal ligation making up nearly 50% of contraception use in "non-developed" countries.
+
United Nations Millennium Goals
-
===Barrier methods===
+
-
*Barrier methods include: spermacides, condoms, diaphragms / cervical caps, and sponges
+
Quick Facts from the UN
 +
•Every minute, a woman dies of complications related to pregnancy and childbirth or 500K/yr – 99% live and die in developing countries
 +
•Maternal Mortality Rates: in Niger (1 in 7) vs Sweden (1 in 17.4K)
-
*Spermacides
+
•Every year, more than 1 million children are left motherless because of maternal death.  
-
**The active ingredient of spermacides is '''nonoxynol 9''' or '''actoxynol-3'''.
+
-
***Nonoxynol and actoxynol disrupt the spermatic cell membrane.
+
-
**The failure rate of spermacides is '''15-35%'''.
+
-
**Patient compliance is generally high.
+
-
*Condoms
 
-
**Male condom failure rate is 5-8% (slippage / breakage) or 5-15%
 
-
**Female condom failure rate is 3% (slippage / breakage) or 5-15%
 
-
**Mechanism of action is to physically block sperm.
 
 +
goals1
-
*Diaphragms
+
Controversial
-
**Mechanism of action is to physically block sperm from gaining access to upper reproductive tract (uterus and fallopian tube.
+
-
**Diaphragms can also hold spermicide.
+
-
**Device must be inserted 1 hour before intercourse.
+
-
**Diaphragm must remain in place for 6-8 hours post-coitus.
+
-
**Failure rate is 10-25%
+
-
**Benefits include:
+
-
***'''Some protection agains STDs'''
+
-
***Effective immediately
+
-
***Does not affect breast feeding
+
-
***Does not interfere with intercourse (can be inserted up to 6 hours pre-coitus).
+
-
***No health risks.
+
-
***No systemic side effects.
+
-
**Contraindications include:
+
-
***Hx of toxic shock syndrome
+
-
***Allergy to rubber
+
-
***Allergy to spermicides
+
-
***Repeat UTIs
+
-
***Uterine prolapse
+
-
***Vaginal stenosis
+
-
***Genital anomalies
+
-
**Patient compliance is difficult
+
 +
 +
Personal
-
*The sponge
+
-
**Mechanism: contains spermicide
+
Religious
-
**Benefits: small, disposible, works for 24 hours (regardless of coitus count)
+
-
**Reintroduced to market in 2009.
+
-
**Failure rate: 26-40%

===Hormonal contraceptives===
 
-
*Hormonal contraceptives come as oral pills, as injectables, and as an intravaginal ring or a supradermal patch.
 
-
*Injectable contraceptives include:
 
-
**Combined injectible contraceptives (CICs)
 
-
**Depo-provera
 
-
**Norplant
 
-
**Implanon
 
-
====Oral contraceptive pills====
 
-
*'''Failure rate is <1%'''
 
-
*OCPs can be '''progesterone only''' or '''a combination of estrogen and progesterone''' (combined oral contraceptives; COCs).
 
 +
42
-
*Oral contraceptive pills are taken 21 days with 7 days of placebo or no pill.
+
Why Counseling is Important
-
*Combined oral contraceptives come in three types depending on their phase:
+
-
**Monophasic: all 21 pills, all of which have some amount of estrogen / progesterone (E/P)
+
-
**Biphasic: 21 active pills, 2 different combinations of E/P
+
-
**Triphasic: 21 active pills, 3 different combinations of E/P
+
 +
 +
Abortion Rates, by age group, per 1000 births (2000 Stats)
-
=====OCP mechanism of action=====
+
-
*Presence of progesterone decreases FSH and LH levels, including the LH surge.
+
10% of women don’t use contraception –
-
*Without the LH surge, '''ovulation does not occur'''.
+
These account for 53% of unintended pregnancies
-
*Furthermore the '''endometrial lining is ''thinner'' which makes implantation less likely'''.
+
-
*The '''cervical lining is ''thickened'' which prevents spermatic penetration''' to the upper reproductive tract.
+
-
=====OCP Benefits=====
 
-
*Contraceptive benefits of OCP:
 
-
**Highly effective (failure rate <1%)
 
-
**Effective immediately if started by day 7 of menstrual cycle.
 
-
**Pelvic examination not required to initiate use.
 
-
**OCPs do not interfere with intercourse.
 
-
**Few side effects.
 
-
**Convenient and easy.
 
-
**Client can stop use at any time.
 
-
**Can be provided by trained medical staff.
 
-
*Non-contraceptive benefits of OCP:
 
-
**Decrease menstrual flow.
 
-
**Decrease menstrual cramps.
 
-
**Improve anemia (?).
 
-
**'''Protect against ovarian and endometrial cancer.'''
 
-
**'''Decrease bening breast disease and ovarian cysts.'''
 
-
**'''Prevent ectopic pregnancy.'''
 
-
**''Protect against some causes of pelvic inflammatory disease.''
 
 +
-
=====OCP Effectiveness=====
+
34
-
*Perfect use is what is tested but then there is actual or typical use.
+
-
**OCP (combined versions) are 97% effective when taken perfectly.
+
-
**OCP (combined versions) are 92% effective upon actual use.
+
-
*10 million women are taking OCP; therefore each 1% decrease in effectiveness yields 100k unintended pregnancies
+
-
**8% decrease simply from perfect use to typical use.

Spermacides
-
==Miscellaneous==
+
-
*Laction is a good birth control, too.
+
Condoms
-
**'''Lactation failure rate is 2% for the first 6th months'''.
+
-
**Mechanism of action is disruption of GnRH release because of frequent, intense suckling at the nipple.
+
-
**Disrupted GnRH means disrupted LH / FSH release which means no ovulation.
+
-
**Limitations
+
-
***Does not protect against STDs
+
-

=Family Planning=
 
-
*Historically:
 
-

-
**Only 50% reached the teens (reproductive age)
 
-
***Disease
 
-
***Starvation
 
-
*Now:
 
-
**7 Billion and counting
 
-
*Adolescent Pregnancy:
 
-
**Pregnancy rate is decreasing
 
-
**Birth rate is decreasing
 
-
**Abortion rate is decreasing
 
-
**Adolescent pregnancy in general is decreasing.
 
-
**Trends are across white, Hispanic, and African American races
 
-
**US still has very high teen pregnancy rate compared to other countries
 
-
*''Incidence'' of unintended pregnancy is similar with and without contraception but the ''risk'' is much higher for those without.

+
Patient Compliance: –
-
**Implanon = Nexplanon
+
Inserted 1 hr before
-
***A source of estrogen (etonogestrel)
+
-
====Mechanism of Hormonal contraceptions====
+
-
*Ovulation is presented by providing feedback with progesterone to decrease LH surge.
+
Left in place for 6-8 hrs post-coitus
-
*Progesterone:
+
-
**Inhibits LH surge such that ovulation is decreased.
+
-
**Makes cervical mucus thick to inhibit sperm motility
+
-
**Smooth muscle relaxant to decrease transport of sperm in the fallopian tube (which has SM and cilia helping to move the sperm toward the egg)
+
-
**Decreases glycogen stores in the endometrium such that ovum is less likely to survive / implant
+
-
*Estrogen:
+
-
**decreases FSH such that there is little follicle development
+
-
**increases progesterone receptors so as to potentiate the effect of the progesterone
+
-
*Bonus benefits
 
-
**Decreased ectopic preg
 
-
**Regulates menses
 
-
***Good tx for irregular menses
 
-
**Decrease PID / salpingitis risk
 
-
***Good tx with gonorrhea and chlamydia
 
-
**Less acne / hirsuitism
 
-
***Because estrogen increases sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) at the liver
 
-
***Binds testosterone and decreases androgenic effect
 
-
**Decreased androgen production, too
 
-
***Because test is made in ovary and FSH is decreased
 
-
**Decreased benign breast disease
 
-
***Recall however that benign breast fibrosis has no increased risk for cancer
 
-
**Decreased risk of endometiral cancer
 
-
***50% risk
 
-
***Last for 15 years!
 
-
**Decreased risk of ovarian cancer
 
-
***30%
 
-
***30 years of protection
 
-

**1960’s: DES and other estrogens prescribed for human postcoital use
 
-
**1972  : “Yuzpe method”
 
-
***100 mcg ethinyl estradiol (high dose birth control pill)
 
-
***0.5 mg levonorgestrel
 
-
*Yuzpe method:

-
==Questions==
 
-
*Slowest return to fertility:
 
-
**Depot medroxyprogesterone acetate
 
-
*Contraindications to CHC (combined hormone contraceptive):
 
-
**DVT!
 
-
**Not the smoker (until over 35yo), not the rheumatoid arthritic, not the well-controlled HTN (OK while controlled)

 +
 
 +
 +
Typical 1st year failure rate: 20%
 +
 
 +
 +
Limited Acceptability: low reliability, inflexibility
 +
 
 +
 
 +
 
 +
 
 +
 +
Non-Vaginal Ejaculation •
 +
Historically the major pre-industrial method of family planning
 +
