Contraception

Objectives

  • Review basic statistics concerning population growth and pregnancy rates
  • Review basic contraceptive options
  • Review sterilization options

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).


  • Birth control is controversial for three reasons:
    • 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.
    • 51% were intended
    • 49% were unintended
      • 22% were unintended births
      • 20% were elective abortions
      • 7% were fetal losses


  • Of unintended pregnancies that proceed to live births,
    • 1/4 are "unwanted"
    • 3/4 are "mistimed"


  • 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 Control: Mode of Action

  • There are two categories of birth control
  • There are many options:
    • OCPs
    • Norplant
    • Depo-Provera
    • Condoms
    • Diaphragm
    • Foam
    • Rhythm
    • IUDs

42

Why Counseling is Important

• Abortion Rates, by age group, per 1000 births (2000 Stats)

• 10% of women don’t use contraception – These account for 53% of unintended pregnancies

General Mode of Action

• Prevention of Conception – OCPs, Norplant, Depo-Provera, Condom, Diaphragm, Foam, Rhythm, IUDs



• Prevention of Implantation – IUDs, “Morning After Pills”




18

Worldwide Use of Contraceptive Types

• Prevalence of Selected forms of Contraception in Developed and Developing Countries

• Projected Use of Contraception in Developing Countries for 2000


24 25

Barrier Methods

• Spermacides

• Condoms

• Diaphragm & Cervical Caps

• Sponges



Spermacides

• Active Ingredient – Either Nonoxynol 9 or Actoxynol-3



• Failure Rate – 15 to 35%



• Patient Compliance – HIGH




Spermacide1

Condoms

• Male Condom – Slippage/Breakage Rate: 5-8%

– Failure Rate: 5-15%



• Female Condom – Slippage/Breakage Rate: 3%

– Failure Rate: 5-15%

Diaphragms

• Mechanism of Action

• Failure Rate: 10-20%

• Benefits

• Precautions

• Patient Compliance: – Inserted 1 hr before

– Left in place for 6-8 hrs post-coitus

Diaphragms


Diaphragm6 Diaphragm6 Diaphragm3

The Sponge

• Small, disposable; contains spermacide

• Once in place, can provide contraception for 24hrs no mater how often coitus occurs

• Today Sponge off US market in 1995 but reintroduced in May ‘09

• Other Brands available worldwide

• Failure Rate: 26-40%

Hormonal Contraceptives

• OCPs

• Injectable – Combined Injectable Contraceptives (CICs)

– Depo-Provera

– Norplant

– Implanon



• New Types – Ring

– Patch




OCPs

• Types – Combination of estrogen & progesterone

– Progesterone Only




OCP1

OCPs

• Mechanism of Action – Decrease FSH & LH

– No LH surge

– Alter Cervical Mucus

– Alter Endometrial Lining




11 OCP2

OCPs

• Benefits – Contraceptive • Failure Rate: 1% or less



– Non-Contraceptive




OCP3

OCPs


OCP4

OCP Effectiveness

• Efficacy – Perfect use vs. actual or typical use

– Combined OCP • 99.7% perfect use vs 92% actual use

• Currently, there are 10 million women using the pill – Each 1% decrease in efficacy = 100K unintended pregnancies each year







• Or, about 3 Jumbo jets crashing each and every day



OCPs

• Contraindications – Absolute • Hx/o Vascular Dz – PE, DVT, CVA



• Systemic Dz – SLE, cHTN, Active Liver Dz, HyperChol, MiHAs with Auras







–Relative •Tob Use, >35yrs, Depression, MiHAs without Auras

Injectables

• Mechanism of Action – Suppress ovulation, thicken cervical mucus, alter endometrium



• Types – CICs

– Depo-Provera

– Norplant

– Implanon



• Failure Rates – CICs: 0.1 – 1%

– Depo-Provera 0.1 - 0.6%

– Norplant/Implanon: •

0.2 - 0.6%

Emergency Contraception

• “Morning After” – Contraceptive or Abortifacent



• IUD – Abortifacent




“Morning After Pill”

• Yuzpe Method or Preven – 2 tablets of 0.25mg levonogestrol/ 0.05mg ethinyl estradiol at 0 hrs and 12hrs



• “Plan B” –

1 tablet of 0.75 mg  Levonorgestrel taken at 0 and 12hr 

– Just as effective as Juzpe with less Nausea & Vomitting

– Decreases pregnancy rate from 8% to <1%





Male Alternatives

• Traditional Methods – Periodic Abstinence • High contraceptive efficacy if rules followed perfectly.

• Typical 1st year failure rate: 20%

• Limited Acceptability: low reliability, inflexibility



– Non-Vaginal Ejaculation • Historically the major pre-industrial method of family planning

• Limited Reliability: requires skill and self-control

• Typical 1st year failure rate: 20%



– Vasectomy • Relative Contraindications: bleeding disorders, allergy to anesthestics, scrotal pathology

• Excises a segment of vas deferens

• Failure Rate: 0.1% - wait as long as three months



– Condom




Male Alternatives

• Modern Methods – Vas Occlusion • “reversible” vasectomy

• Problem: lower efficacy



– Heating • Principle: brief elevations of testicular temperature suppresses spermatogenesis

• Concept: tight scrotal support – remains to be clinically proven



– Immunocontraception • Sperm Vaccination – men and women



– Chemical [non-hormonal] • Target the rapidly proliferating germinal epithelium with drugs, heat, ionising radiation, thereby disrupting mitosis and/or meiosis.

Male Alternatives

• Hormonal – WHO Studies utilized weekly testosterone enanthate injections • Provides both gonadotropin suppression and androgen replacement



– Contraceptive Failure Rate of about 8%

– Adverse Affects: cardiovascular & prostatic diseases, mood changes

– Other Studies looked at Androgen Combination regimens: non-androgens [estrogen, progestins] to suppress gonadotropins with testosterone; GnRH Blockades with testosterone add-back; FSH Blockades




Male Alternatives

• Ancient Romans

• South Pacific
