A New Long-Term Reversible Contraception Method: Sexual and Metabolic Impact

BACKGROUND: Data relating to the influence of hormonal contraception on sexual life are conflicting and mostly they refer to oral contraceptives. In this study we evaluated the effect of a long-acting contraceptive on sexual function, metabolism and bleeding pattern variations. METHODS: 23 women wit...

description BACKGROUND: Data relating to the influence of hormonal contraception on sexual life are conflicting and mostly they refer to oral contraceptives. In this study we evaluated the effect of a long-acting contraceptive on sexual function, metabolism and bleeding pattern variations. METHODS: 23 women with a permanent partner and an active sexual life completed a specific questionnaire at the start of the study and after cycles 3 and 6 of contraceptive use; a blood sample was performed or metabolic evaluation and a “bleeding calendar” was compiled by the patients. CONCLUSION: There is an increase of quality and frequency of sexual function after 6 month of contraception; there aren’t significant change in metabolic parameters and is detectable a modification of bleeding patterns.
