8 B.Vasectomy :(Male Sterilization) -Making small puncture or incision in the scrotum & cutting, tying, removing a section , or cauterizing the vas deference which carries the sperm from the testes to the penis. After vasectomy, sperm no longer pass into the semen Performed under local anesthesia After procedure , complete sterilization doesn't occur until there are no longer sperm in the semen which may takes a period of three months or more specimens must be taken for analysis and the procedure is effective , if two specimens show no sperm present Khulod Barqwai
9 2.Hormonal ContraceptivesA.Hormone Implant : A single rod implant(Implanon) is now available Inserted subcutaneously into upper inner arm It is 2mm *4cm and release progestin continuously to provide protection for 3 years It acts by inhibiting ovulation and thickening cervical mucus Side effects: Irregular menstrual bleeding Amenorrhea Advantages : safe during lactation and fertility returns promptly when implants is removed Khulod Barqwai
10 B.Hormone Injections Depo-Provera (Medroxyprogesterone acetate or DMPA) is an injectable progestin Prevent ovulation for 12 weeks. Khulod Barqwai
11 Advantages of hormone injectionsconvenient, free of estrogen, Can be used at any age if woman in a good health. Can be used by breast feeding mothers. Injection started 6 weeks after delivery Return of Fertility in approximately months. Khulod Barqwai
12 Injection is best given within 5 days of menstrual period Women who should not use hormonal contraceptive should not also use Depo Provera. Given I.M deeply & site of injection should not be massaged (accelerate absorption & decrease period of effectiveness). Injection is best given within 5 days of menstrual period Women who use Depo-Provera injections should get adequate amounts of calcium and vitamin D and should increase weight bearing exercise Khulod Barqwai
13 Disadvantages of injectionsMenstrual irregularities Spotting and break through bleeding Amenorrhea in 50% Weight gain 4 pounds/year Headach,depression.hair loss. decreased bone density with long term use Khulod Barqwai
14 3.Oral Contraceptives (OCs) :Combination Pills :Estrogen and progesterone combination Action: -Inhibit maturation of follicle due to the increased level of Estrogen & Progesterone. -Movement of sperm is inhibited by the thick vaginal secretions & endometrium become less hospital for implantation. -Available in packets of 21 or 28 tablets. Available as monophasic and multiphasic doses Monophasic : contain estrogen and progesterone contents that remain constant through out the cycle Multiphasic , estrogen and progestin levels varies at different times through out cycle which help to reduce side effects Khulod Barqwai
15 *Advantage : Mini Pills (Progestin only):*Action: They are less effective in inhibiting ovulation but causes thickening of cervical mucus which helps prevent penetration by sperm & makes the endometrium lining un favorable for implantation. *Advantage : -These pills reduce the side effects associated with estrogen Khulod Barqwai
16 Benefits of oral contraceptivesDecreased premenstrual syndrome Reduce acne Improve bone density Cycle control that make periods regular and minimal bleeding Improve endometriosis, Dysmenorrhea, polycystic ovary syndrome and hisutism Decrease incidence of benign breast disease, ovarian cysts, pelvic inflammatory disease salpingitis and ectopic pregnancy Reduce ovarian and endometrial cancer Khulod Barqwai
17 Risk Factors Benefits ,Risks of Oral Contraceptives : 1. Smoking2. Hypertension 3. High cholesterol level 4. Obesity 5. DM Khulod Barqwai

22 Note: For advantages & disadvantages see box 31-1. page 738-IUD causes a sterile inflammatory response resulting in a spermicidal intrauterine environment , they don’t cause abortion. Very few sperm reach the fallopian tube. - ParaGard produces changes in the uterine and tubal fluids to impair sperm function, it remains effective for 10 years Mirena contain progestin which causes thickening in cervical mucus preventing sperm penetration, inhibits sperm motility and prevent implantation, its action lasts 5 years Note: For advantages & disadvantages see box page 738 Khulod Barqwai

26 Side effects for IUD : -Cramping & bleeding with insertion. -Menorrhagia & Dysmenorrhea are common reasons for removal (mostly occurs with copper IUD ). -Vaginal spotting may occur during the early months but may be followed by less bleeding with periods or amenorrhea ( mostly occurs with Levonorgesterl system also called LNG-IUS Mirena ). *Note : Ibuprofen relieve cramping,& iron supplement for prevention of anemia. Khulod Barqwai
27 Complications of IUD : Expulsion of IUD. Perforation of uterus.Ectopic pregnancy or spontaneous abortions.

30 Foams , foaming tablets, suppositories, vaginal films are used alone.1.Chemical Barriers : Chemicals that kill sperm are called spermicides and come in many forms such as creams,gels which are generally used with mechanical barriers such as diaphragm or cervical cap. Foams , foaming tablets, suppositories, vaginal films are used alone. Khulod Barqwai
31 Should be reapplied with repeated intercourse They are inserted deep into vagina just before intercourse, vaginal suppositories and films must melt before they become effective which takes about 15 minutes They are effective for less than one hour and as long as 8 hours depending in the type used Should be reapplied with repeated intercourse Woman should not douche for at least 6 hours after intercourse Khulod Barqwai

Khulod Barqwai
33 Mechanical Barrier -Are devices placed over the penis or cervix to prevent sperm from entering the uterus. *Types: 1.Condom(male & female) 2.Diaphragm 3.Cervical Cap Khulod Barqwai
34 Male condom: -It is one of the most popular contraceptive methods in USA. It prevent sperm from entering the vagina. People allergic to latex should not used avoid use of latex condom Khulod Barqwai

37 Natural Family Planning-Also called fertility awareness, or periodic abstinence methods. -Woman uses the physiologic cues to predict ovulation & avoid coitus when conditions are favorable for fertilization. -Also can be used by the woman who wishes to become pregnant. Khulod Barqwai
38 Types of Natural Method of Family Planning1.Calendar Method : 2.Basal Body Temperature 3.Cervical Mucus(ovulation or Billing's method) 4.Sympto thermal Method 5.Abstinence 6.Breast Feeding 7.Coitus Interrupts Khulod Barqwai
39 1.Calendar Method: -Based on the timing of ovulation ,approximately 14 days before the onset of menses. -Tract length of the cycle for 6 months then substract 18 days from the shortest cycle and 11 days from the longest cycle to predict the time when fertilization is possible. *Disadvantage : Un reliable because many factors such as illness or stress can affect time of ovulation. Khulod Barqwai
40 2.Basal Body Temperature: -Woman charts her oral temperature each morning before getting out of bed. -Temp. may drop slightly before ovulation and then rise approximately c with ovulation .Then temp. remains higher throughout the second half of the cycle. -The woman is no longer fertile on the night of the third day after the rise in temp. Khulod Barqwai
41 3. cervical method (ovulation or Billings method)Cervical mucus method Based on the changes in the cervical mucus In the first few 3-4 days after menses there is no mucus Then thick sticky mucus begins to appear T the time of ovulation , mucus changes to clear , slippery and stretchy like egg white After ovulation mucus decreases in amount and becomes thick and sticky again To prevent pregnancy, couples must avoid coitus from time mucus is first present until 4 days after the end of the slippery mucus Khulod Barqwai
42 4.Symptothermal Method: -Combines the calendar ,BBT,and cervical mucus method. -It based on a group of symptoms that occurs near ovulation such as : 1.Weight gain 2.Abdominal bloating 3.Mittelschmerz (pain on ovulation) 4.Increased libido are noted Khulod Barqwai
43 5.Abstinence : -Avoidance of sexual intercourse and any activity that may allow sperm to enter the vagina Khulod Barqwai
44 Least Reliable Methods of Family Planning A. Lactation amenorrhea method (LAM) Breast Feeding ; for 10 times in 24 hours, Fully breast feeding or expressing milk manually (worker woman) without supplements (formula milk, or solid food) may be effective for 6 months only. Woman still amenorrhoic after delivery. B. Coitus Interrupts (withdrawal) is the removal of the penis from vagina before ejaculation this method requires great control by the man
