PubHealth.info® (a subsidiary of PakMed) presents scientific information mainly based on abstracts of articles published on a variety of public health issues/topics, particularly encompassing population planning, disease prevention, maternal and child health, and communicable and non-communicable diseases (like HIV AIDS, malaria, etc) that are affecting a significant portion of population in developing and developed countries. Here you can find abstracts of articles published on a variety of public health topics under category "Contraception (Birth Control) and Family Planning". Contraception (birth control) is a regimen of one or more actions, devices, or medications followed in order to deliberately prevent or reduce the likelihood of a woman becoming pregnant or giving birth. Therefore contraception is the utilization of various and sundry surgical procedures, devices, practices, agents, or drugs with the intention of preventing conception or impregnation (pregnancy). Methods and intentions typically termed birth control may be considered a pivotal ingredient to family planning. Birth control is a controversial political and ethical issue in many cultures and religions, and although it is generally less controversial than abortion specifically.

ABSTRACT

Our aim was to investigate the changes in menstrual pattern, ovarian reserve and presence of dysmenorrhea and

ovulation after tubal ligation via bipolar electrocautery. Sixty patients requesting voluntary tubal ligation were recruited

in the study. Laparoscopic tubal sterilization via bipolar electrocoagulation was performed in all patients in the early

follicular phase. Blood samples were collected on day 3, one cycle before the procedure, in the same cycle when the

procedure was carried out and on the third cycle following the procedure for determination of folliclestimulating

hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH) and estradiol (E/2), and on day 21 for progesterone (P) levels. All patients

were followed for 3 months, and changes in menstrual pattern, presence or absence of dysmenorrhea and ovulation

were noted. Menstrual changes occurred in six patients (10%), although only one patient had mild dysmenorrhea

(1.6%) after the procedure. The incidence of ovulation was 33% preoperatively, rising to 40% in the cycle when

surgery was performed and maintained a constant level at 40% 3 months after tubal ligation. There was no

statistically significant difference in the serum FSH, LH and estradiol levels in preoperative and postoperative

assessments (p > .05). Tubal ligation has been blamed for causing luteal phase defect as a result of an effect on

ovarian circulation. In our study, the rate of ovulation was slightly improved after the procedure, and ovarian reserve

was not negatively affected. Bipolar electrocoagulation of the fallopian tubes did not alter the ovarian reserve and

function. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT1T 5-06)
