Birth Control Methods

3.8K
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...

Longitudinal Research

12.7K
Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Hormonal Regulation of the Menstrual Cycle01:22

Hormonal Regulation of the Menstrual Cycle

802
The ovarian cycle regulates endometrial changes throughout a single menstrual cycle via the coordinated action of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and gonadotrophins.
At puberty, GnRH begins a pulsatile release pattern, which triggers the anterior pituitary gland to secrete follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). The frequency and amplitude of GnRH pulses vary across the menstrual cycle, with faster pulses favoring LH release and slower pulses favoring FSH...

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Health
  • Contraceptive Technology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) include intrauterine devices (IUDs) and etonogestrel subdermal implants.
  • Depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) injections were a highly prescribed contraceptive in the US since 1992.
  • Current trends show a shift in contraceptive method preferences.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the history of widely used contraceptive methods.
  • To analyze the advantages and disadvantages of LARCs and DMPA.
  • To understand the changing landscape of contraceptive choices.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of historical data on contraceptive use.
  • Comparative analysis of safety and convenience profiles.
  • Examination of prescription trends for DMPA and LARCs.

Main Results:

  • LARCs demonstrate increasing popularity driven by convenience and safety.
  • DMPA usage is declining despite its long history of high prescription rates.
  • A comparative review highlights key differences in efficacy, side effects, and user experience.

Conclusions:

  • LARCs represent a significant advancement in contraceptive options.
  • The decline in DMPA use reflects evolving patient and provider preferences.
  • Understanding the pros and cons of each method is crucial for informed decision-making.
