perfect use
• Require responsible
attitude on the part of
male

intended for one-time
use with two flexible
rings.

hrs prior to intercourse
and left in place for 48
hrs.

contraception controlled
by woman
Disadvantages

use 6%, typical use 16%
• Prolonged use can
increase risk of UTIs
• Requires professional
fitting and training
• Can develop odor if not
properly cleaned

• Effective for an hour
• 20% have burning (reaction)
Vaginal Sponge
• Combined Oral Contraceptive Pills
• Progestin-Only Contraceptive Pills

pills
• Post coital pills for Emergency Contraception
• Once a month pills (quinestrol+progestogen)
• Contain estrogen(30-35mcg)
• and progestin(0.5-1mg)
• Block ovulation, alter cervical mucus, stimulate
atrophic change in endometrium
• 21 days of hormone followed by 7 days of placebo to
allow withdrawal bleeding
Advantages:
• Failure rate less than 0.3%
with perfect use (8% typical
use)
• Fertility returns rapidly
• Bleeding is decreased
• Greater cycle predictability
• Decreased risk of benign
breast disease, PID, ovarian
and endometrial cancers,
ectopic pregnancy
Disadvantages:
• Increased risk of stroke,
acute MI, venous
thromboembolic disease

adenoma, cervical cancer,
breast cancer
• Do not protect against STDs

or anticonvulsants, efficacy
may be decreased

thromboembolic disease,
known thrombogenic
mutations
• Suppresses ovulation, has variable dampening effect
on mid cycle peaks of LH and FSH, increases cervical
mucus viscosity, leads to atrophic endometrium,
reduces cilia motility in the fallopian tube
**MUST BE TAKEN AT THE SAME TIME EVERY DAY**
Advantages:
• Risk of serious
complications to which
estrogen contributes is
greatly reduced
• Decreased
dysmenorrhea,
menstrual blood loss
• Fertility returns
immediately after
cessation
Disadvantages:
• Does not protect
against STDs
• these are COCPs packaged to reduce or eliminate
the withdrawal bleeding that occurs once every
28 days in traditionally packaged COCPs.
Extended cycle use of COCPs may also be called
menstrual suppression
• vaginal ring and the contraceptive patchhave
been studied for extended cycle use, and the
monthly combined injectable contraceptive may
similarly eliminate bleeding

• Dysmenorrhea
• Endometriosis
• Menstrual migraines
• Irregular periods
• Iron-deficiency anemia
• Some seizure disorders
• Menstrual flares of rheumatoid arthritis
• Coagulation defects
• Vasomotor symptoms of perimenopause

– Norgestrel 1.5 mg
Combined:
– Norgestrel 100 mg, ethinyl estradiol 100 mcg
– Levonorgestrel 50 mg, ethinyl estradiol 100 mcg
T Cu
First dose < 72 hours after unprotected
intercourse, second dose 12 hours later
Depo-Provera
• Injectable Contraceptives
• Progestin-only: Depo-
medroxyprogesterone
acetate (DMPA) 150 mg
IM every 12 weeks
• Alters endometrial
lining, thickens cervical
mucus and blocks LH
surge preventing
ovulation
Advantages
• Extremely effective. Failure rate 0.3% with perfect
use, 3% with typical use.
• Efficacy is not altered by varying weight nor use of
concurrent medications nor sickness/diarrhea
• Decreased anemia, dysmenorrhea
• Decreased risk of endometrial and ovarian ca, PID,
ectopics
• Safe for use in breast-feeding mothers
• Does not produce serious side effects of estrogen:
OK to use in patients with diabetes, lipid disorders,
complicated migraines, h/o cerebrovascular
accidents/Coronary Artery Disease/Congestive Heart
Failure, SLE, peripheral vascular disease
Disadvantages
• Involves injections and remembering to visit doctor
every 3 months
• Persistent irregular bleeding
• Delayed return to fertility
• Weight gain-about 5 lbs in first year.
• Depression
• Apply once weekly for 3
weeks. Placebo is one
patch-free week during
which withdrawal
bleeding occurs
• Blocks LH surge
(preventing ovulation),
thickens cervical mucus,
alters endometrial
lining
• Ethyl vinyl acetate ring
• Ethinyl estradiol 0.015
mg/day +etonogestrel
0.12 mg/day

preventing ovulation
– vaginitis
• Lippes loop

resulting in phagocytosis of spermatozoa
• Copper ions seem to have direct toxic effect on
spermatozoa
• Foreign body reaction
• Can be left in place for 10 yrs
• Releases 20 mcg LNG (levonorgestrel) per day into
uterine cavity for 5 years
• Inhibits fertilization: anovulation, thickens cervical
mucus, inhibits sperm and ovum motility and
function
• Can be left in place for 5 years
Advantages:
 Efficacy. Failure rate w/ perfect use 0.1-0.6%, typical
use 0.1-0.8%
 Long-term
 Reversible
 Most cost-effective
 No systemic side effects
 Mirena only: decreased menorrhagia, dysmenorrhea,
anemia
 Do not interfere with lactation
**
• Increased risk of PID (only at insertion)
• Bleeding
• Risk of perforation with insertion
• Cramping and pain at insertion
• May be expelled unnoticed
• No STD protection
• Ectopic pregnancy
• Vaginal bleeding of unknown etiology
• Current cervicitis or PID

intercourse"), is the practice of ending sexual
intercourse ("pulling out") before ejaculation
• Symptothermic method
• Safe period (rhythm method)
• Basal body temperature method
• Cervical mucous method
Sterilization
 Sterilization :female bilateral tubal ligation and male
vasectomy are permenant method of contraception
and highly effective.
• They are generally chosen by relatively older couple
who are sure that they completed their family.
 Also individual who carry a genetic disorder may
choose to be sterlized.
 Sterilization methods include:
1- Vasectomy in males.
2- Tubal Ligation in females .
Bilateral Tubal Ligation
 This involve mechanically blockage of both
fallopian tube to prevent the sperm reaching and
fertilizing the oocyte
 sterilization performed by laparoscopically(under
GA) or through a suprapubic “mini-laparotomy”
During caesarean section
 Failure rate: 0.5%
Tubal Ligation
Tubal Ligation
Advantages:
• intended to be
permanent
• highly effective
• safe
• quick recovery
• lack of significant long-
term side effects
• cost effective
Disadvantage:
possibility of patient regret
• difficult to reverse
• future pregnancy could
require assisted
reproductive technology
(such as Invitro
Fertilization)
• more expensive than
vasectomy
Vasectomy
• Vasectomy involve division of the vas deferens on
each side to prevent the release of sperm during
ejaculation.
• Easier than tubal ligation.
• Usually done under local
• anesthesia.
• Failure rate: 0.1%.
Vasectomy
• Advantages:
• permanent,effective,safe, quick recovery
• lack of significant long-term side effects
• cost effective; less expensive than tubal ligation
Disadvantages:
• reversal is difficult, often unsuccessful
• not effective until all sperm cleared from the
reproductive tract (may take up to 12 w)
• no protection from STD
Cont.
Complication of vasectomy:
• Immediately bleeding, wound infection
• At the cut of vas deferns small lump will apear as a
result of a local inflammation response this is
called sperm granuloma it needs surgical excision.
• some men develop anti-sperm antibody following
vasectomy
