Epidemiology
- 1/2 of all pregnancies in the US are unintended[2]
- 1/5 of pregnancies occur while using some form of contraception
- most pregnancies occur because of user failure, not method failure
Indications
* discuss contraception with teens at every visit regardless of their sexual history[29]
* 1st discussions should occur between ages 13-15
* stress information on the most effective contraceptive methods, i.e. intrauterine devices or contraceptive implant[29]
Methods
Contraceptive methods:
- natural methods:
- basal body temperature changes to time of ovulation
- cervical mucus examination
- effectiveness of use of combined methods is 80-98%/year
- barrier methods
- hormonal contraceptives
- sterilization
- long-acting contraceptives*[20]
- intrauterine device (IUD)
- subdermal implants
- subdermal etonogestrel-releasing implants are the most effective contraceptives available[26]
- transdermal contraceptive patch
- 20 times more effective in preventing pregnancy than shorter-acting methods (birth control pills, contraceptive patch, NuvaRing)[9]
- male contraception
- condom
- coitus interruptus
- vasectomy
- androgens[6] investigational
- post-coital contraception
* recommended 1st line for sexually-active girls & women[18][21]
* pelvic examinations are not necessary to prescribe contraceptive or refer patients for IUD placement[18]
Complications
- estrogen exposure:
- lowest (estrogen-containing) with Nuva Ring[4]
- risk of thromboembolism
- see estrogen adverse effects
- copper IUD & levonorgestrel IUD safest for women at risk for venous thromboembolism[2]
Management
- pregnancy test prior to initiation of contraception if > 1 week since last menstrual period[2]
- avoid estrogen-containing contraceptives with warfarin anticoagulation (see anticoagulation)
- avoid estrogen-containing contraceptives in women with
- migraine with aura (further increases risk of stroke)[2]
- hypertriglyceridemia[27]
- contraception safe for women with HIV1[10]
- use barrier method (condom) in addition to hormonal contraception for women at risk of STD[2][11]
- condoms alone one of the least effective forms of contraction[31]
Notes
- free contraception
- associated with increased frequency of sexual intercourse
- does not increase number of sex partners or incidence of sexually-transmitted disease
- free, long-acting contraception lowers preganacy rate in teenage girls[19]
- highest rates of highly effective reversible contraception (intrauterine devices or subdermal progestin implants) in low-income women eligible for free contraception after abortion[28]
- companies exempt from ACA's requirement to pay for contraception
