3. An ideal contraceptive?
• Safe
• Effective
• Acceptable
• Inexpensive
• Reversible
• Simple to use
• Independent of coitus
• Long lasting
• Need minimum
supervision
6. Any contraceptive
• Ideal/perfect use
• Practical/in practice/typical use
• Failure rate expressed in no. of pregnancy per 100 women-years
• Pearl index: the number of failures of a contraceptive method per
100 woman years of exposure
10. barrier methods-
Why ? Why not?
No S/E like pill/IUD Need high motivation
STD prevention Less effective than pill/IUD
PID risk reduction Need consistent/careful use
Cervical cancer risk
reduction
13. Condom
• Made of latex/rubber
• To be fitted on erect penis before intercourse
• Expel air first to keep space for semen
• To withdraw carefully to avoid spill in vagina
• Each sexual act needs new condom
• Combination with spermicide gives added protection
• Pearl index= 2 – 14 mostly due to incorrect use
18. Diaphragm/Dutch cap
• Shallow cup of rubber/plastic
• Flexible rim of metal/spring
• Different sizes available
• For women with good vaginal tone
• Kept in place for 6 hrs after coitus
• Used along with spermicide
• Pearl index= 6-12
• S/E – nil
• Need training/privacy/fitting
• Variations of diaphragm= cervical cap/vault cap/vimule cap
19. Vaginal Sponge (TODAY)
• Polyurethane
sponge with
spermicide
nonoxynol-9
• Less effective
than
diaphragm
• Pearl index=
9-40
20. Chemical Methods= Spermicides
• Foams- tablets/ aerosols
• Creams, jellies, pastes- squeezed from tubes
• Suppositories- inserted manually
• Soluble films- C film inserted manually
22. Spermicides
• Surface active agents = kill sperms by cutting sperm cell oxygen supply
• Drawbacks- High failure rate, action before intercourse, correct
application into vagina, irritation, messy
• No safe spermicide available
• Recommended only for combination with other barriers

29. Advantages of copper devices
• Low expulsion rate
• Lower S/E- pain and bleeding
• Easy and better tolerated in nulliparous too
• More effective
• Can be a post-coital contraceptive too
34. MOA
IUD= foreign body reaction
Cellular-biochemical changes in uterine
wall
Hormones= increase cervical mucus
viscosity
Features
Longer continuation rate = good
effectiveness
Medicated IUD need periodic replacement
Cu T 380A= 10 years
Cu T 200= 4 years
Progestasert= Annually
LNG IUD= 7 years
35. Advantages
Quick & simple insertion
Long duration, continuation
Cheap, no hormonal S/E
Pearl Index= 0.2 – 3
Doesn’t interfere with lactation
Contraindications
Pregnancy
h/o ectopic pregnancy
h/o Pelvic inflamm. disease
CA reproductive tract
h/o bleeding tendency
36. Ideal IUD candidate
• Has borne atleast one child
• No h/o pelvic disease
• Has normal menstrual periods
• Is willing to check for IUD threads/tail
• Has no problem with need of follow up/treatments
• Is in a monogamous relationship
37. IUDs are not recommended for nulliparous or polygamous women
Due to risk of PID possible infertility
38. When to insert IUD?
• During menstruation/ first 10 days of cycle
• Immediate postpartum insertion = within first week of postpartum
• Post-puerperal insertion = 6-8 weeks after delivery
• Immediately after first trimester MTP
Why follow up is needed?
• For continued support to woman
• To confirm presence of IUD
• To diagnose/treat any side-effects/complications
• Follow up after 1st and 3rd periods after insertion
• Bi-annual follow ups
