Birth Control Methods01:22

Birth Control Methods

5.6K
Vasectomy is a surgical form of male sterilization that involves severing and sealing the vasa deferentia, preventing sperm from mixing with semen during ejaculation. Because a vasectomy does not impact the testes' ability to produce testosterone, hormone levels, libido, and sexual function generally remain unchanged. While vasectomy is highly effective in preventing pregnancy, with a success rate near 99.85%, rare cases of recanalization (spontaneous reconnection) can occur. Although...

Intrauterine Drug Delivery Systems

169
Controlled-release systems for intravaginal and intrauterine drug delivery have been developed primarily for the administration of contraceptive steroid hormones. These delivery routes circumvent first-pass hepatic metabolism, thereby enhancing bioavailability and allowing for reduced systemic dosages compared to oral administration. Such approaches contribute to improved therapeutic efficacy and patient compliance, particularly in long-term contraceptive regimens.Intravaginal Drug Delivery...

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

7.3K
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. This procedure is beneficial for identifying and addressing blockages, gallstones, strictures, and tumors within the biliary or pancreatic systems. ERCP is both diagnostic and therapeutic, offering the ability to visualize and treat identified problems in one session.

Cardiac catheterization is an invasive diagnostic technique used to identify and evaluate structural and functional diseases of the heart and major blood vessels. This technique diagnoses congenital heart disease, coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, and coronary spasms and assesses ventricular function. It helps guide treatment decisions, including the need for revascularization procedures like percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and...

Standard precautions are the minimum infection control safeguards used while caring for all patients, irrespective of their disease condition. They help prevent the spread of common infectious microorganisms to healthcare workers, patients, and visitors in all healthcare settings.
Hand hygiene is the most crucial means to prevent the transmission of disease. Employers are legally required to provide their workers with personal protective equipment (PPE) to minimize exposure or contact with...

Transmission-based precautions are for patients known to be infected or suspected to be infected or colonized with organisms that pose a significant risk to others. Some transmission-based precautions include contact, enteric, and droplet.
Contact Precautions:
Contact precautions are the measures taken to prevent the transmission of infectious agents, especially epidemiologically important microorganisms such as MRSA or influenza, primarily transmitted through direct or indirect contact with an...

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Health
  • Contraception
  • Public Health

Background:

  • High rates of unintended pregnancy persist in the United States, impacting family planning goals.
  • Long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) are recognized as a key strategy to address this public health issue.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the effectiveness and suitability of LARCs in reducing unintended pregnancies.
  • To inform healthcare providers and patients about the benefits of LARCs.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing data on contraceptive effectiveness and patient tolerance.
  • Analysis of LARCs, including intrauterine devices and implants, as primary interventions.

Main Results:

  • LARCs are among the most effective contraceptive methods available.
  • Few contraindications exist for LARC use.
  • Insertion and removal procedures are generally well-tolerated in outpatient settings.

Conclusions:

  • Increased adoption of LARCs can significantly contribute to reducing unintended pregnancies.
  • LARCs represent a safe, effective, and practical option for women seeking reliable contraception.
