  1. Contraception Dr Arlene Smalls, MD August 5, 2011 Lankenau Medical Center Department of OB GYN

  2. Objectives of Lecture: • Review of Contraceptive Counseling, Risk Assessment and Method Initiation • Discussion of Conceptive methods including Emergency Contraception • Discussion of new Guidelines regarding Contraceptive Usage

  3. Contraception Needs in US • ~60 million women between ages of 15-44 • 60% use contraception • 33% don’t have a need for contraception • 7.3% who are at risk are not using any method • 6 million pregnancies yearly in US • 50% of pregnancies are unintended • 1 million pregnancies occurred on OCP’s • 1.4 million abortions performed yearly in US

  4. Counseling • Efficacy • Availability • Costs • Ease of Use • Privacy • Reversibility • Side Effect and Medical Risks • Patient and Partner Desires • Informed Decision Making

  5. Contraceptive Efficacy • Pearl Index: • Theoretical Definition of Method Failure Rate based on “Perfect Usage”: Number of Failures / 100 Women-years of exposure (x1200 if based on months) (x1300 if based on cycles) • “Typical or Usage Failure Rate” based on actual usage activity from Life Table Method

  6. Contraceptive Methods Combined Hormonal Methods (COC) • Oral Contraception • Nuva Ring • Ortho Evra Patch Progestin Only Methods (POP) • The Mini Pill • Depo-Provera • Implanon Non Hormonal Contraception - IUD Barrier Methods • Male / Female Condoms Sterilization Emergency Contraception

  7. Pre-Assessment & Evaluation • Discussion of Patient’s Life and Health Plans • Reproductive Life Plan • Childbearing Goals • Birth Spacing • Pre-conceptual Health Assessment and Counseling • Extensive Personal Medical History and Family History
