It ends up thickening cervical mucus which provides a barrier that prevents sperm from entering the uterus

prevents some women’s ovaries from releasing eggs (Stops ovulation)

IUDs end up altering the lining of the uterus

a month

114
Q

How does Depoprovera and Lunelle work

they primarily prevent the ovaries from releasing an egg (ovulation)

it thickens cervical mucus to prevent sperm from reaching the egg

alters the lining of the uterus, which in theory, may prevent implantation of a fertilized egg

115
Q

it only lasts consistently for 13 weeks and some may not return for a follow up shot

118

A

it can impede ovulation in some women for up to 18 months so it is not a good short term use method if they eventually want to have a baby

119
Q

What are common side effects of Depoprovera and Lunelle

A

decreased menstrual flow

weight gain

120
Q

Implanon

A

an implantable method of birth control

similar to norplant but it is one rod instead of five that is matchstick in size

it is placed under the skin on the inner side of the upper arm and releases a low steady dose of progestin to prevent pregnancy

121
Q

A

99%

122
Q

How long can Implanon be left in place and when can it be removed

breast tenderness

weight changes

increased risk of blood clots, particularly in women who smoke, like other hormonal contraceptives

some take comfort in having a period as reassurance they are no pregnant so they should know

125
Q

Female Sterilization

A

“Tubal Ligation”

Segment is cut from both fallopian tubes and the ends of the tubes are then burned, tied, or clamped

126
Q

Female sterilization has a very high rate of efficacy for contraception, but what is one problem?

A

due to how vascular the area is and how prone it is to healing, there is a high failure rate if the procedure is done immediately after a delivery

127
Q

What are some surgical risks for tubal ligation

A

infection

uterine

perforation

those who had tubes tied and then become pregnant are more likely to have an ectopic pregnancy

also menstrual cycle disturbances and gynecological problems can occur with having tubes tied

128
Q

Vasectomy

A

simple procedure involving severing the vas deferens in a man

A

swelling

bruising

most common complication: infection

130
Q

How long does it take after a vasectomy until a man is actually sterile

A

several months - 15 to 20 ejaculates

they will need to go in for periodic checks during the months following the vasectomy to evaluate the level of sperm in the ejaculate

131
Q

Emergency Contraception (EC)`

A

“morning after pill” or “Plan B”

can prevent pregnancy AFTER unprotected vaginal intercourse

132
Q

How soon must EC be started after unprotected intercourse?

A

within 120 hours (5 days)

however the sooner it is started the better with a 75-89% effectiveness rate when done within 72 hours

133
Q

How does EC work

A

contains hormones found in birth control pills and prevents pregnancy by stopping ovulation or fertilization

theoretically it can also prevent implantation but it has not been proven scientifically

134
Q

Will EC cause abortion or affect an existing pregnancy

A

No, however a woman should not use EC if pregnant

135
Q

How can family planning affect average income per capita?

A

smaller families share income among fewer people allowing higher average income per capita

a family of a certain size may be below poverty line, but with one less member they may rise above the poverty threshold

136
Q

Why can family planning help lower maternal mortality and morbidity

A

fewer pregnancies lead to lower maternal mortality and morbidity and often to more education and economic opportunities for women

a mothers death and disability can drive a family into poverty since her ability to earn income can lead the family out of poverty

137
Q

What is the global perspective of family planning

A

high fertility undermines the education of children, especially girls

larger families have less to invest in the education of each child

early pregnancy interrupts young women’s schooling and in large families mothers often remove daughters from school to help care for siblings

less education typically implies increased poverty for the family as well as the inter generational transmission of poverty
