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

The objectives of this study were to compare effects of medroxyprogesterone acetate 25 mg + estradiol cypionate 5

mg (Cyclofem) and norethisterone enanthate (NET-EN) upon the menstrual pattern and determine changes in

lipoprotein parameters after 12 months of use. One-hundred females were included and 87 (45 with Cyclofem and 42

with NET-EN) women completing 12 months were evaluated. Menstrual changes were the leading complaint among

users. At the end of 12 months, 20/45 (44.4%) and 18/41 (43.9%) Cyclofem and NET-EN users, respectively, had

normal menstrual pattern. Irregular and infrequent bleeding were the two most important changes that occurred. The

discontinuation rate at 12 months due to menstrual disturbances did not show any significant differences between

the two preparations, but showed lower incidence compared to other studies. Total cholesterol, high-density, low-

density and very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride levels decreased at 12 months in both groups

and these changes were statistically significant. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT1T 587-06)
