Pregnancy and birth control in CAPD patients.

This report summarizes the experience with 17 pregnancies in 16 continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients. Early experience suggests that the outcome of pregnancy in CAPD patients may be better than in hemodialysis patients. Catheter placement can be undertaken during pregnancy with little increased risk. Peritonitis can precipitate premature labor. Blood-tinged dialysate may herald serious obstetric problems. Hypertension, anemia, and prematurity are serious problems in CAPD patients. Cesarean section can be done, with only a brief interruption in CAPD. The major modification of the usual regimen is the need for smaller exchange volumes and increased frequency.

Helping patients choose appropriate contraception.

Helping patients choose the proper contraceptive requires familiarity with the specific advantages and disadvantages, as well as failure rates, of available methods. Spermicides, condoms and contraceptive sponges are inexpensive and do not require physician prescription. Diaphragms and cervical caps help protect against sexually transmitted diseases but are more difficult to use effectively. Oral contraceptives are highly effective but have estrogen- and progesterone-related side effects. Norplant is ideally suited for less motivated users but requires an office surgical procedure. Depo-Provera provides another long-term option but may result in amenorrhea. Intrauterine devices provide long-term contraception without hormonal side effects but increase the risk of pelvic infection and may cause heavy menstrual bleeding. Tubal ligation and vasectomy are options for permanent contraception when childbearing is no longer desired.

[Contraception and endometriosis].

Contraception in women with endometriosis is unusual. In case of mild asymptomatic endometriosis all contraceptive methods may be used except predominant estrogenic action pills. In case of severe endometriosis if score is upon 70 or adhesion score upon 50 the patients are generally infertile. Contraception is not necessary. If scores are lower, medical treatment of endometriosis insure the contraception during the first six months. Afterwards an hydroxyprogesterone derivative pill such as cyproterone acetate, or a norpregnan derivative pill, or a combined estrogen progestogen pill, with predominant progestogen action (norgestrienon), or a monophasic pill containing norethisteron, or in case of metabolic diseases a pill containing gestoden, must be prescribed three out of four weeks. In case of adenomyosis, vaginal contraception is better. Perhaps in the next future, the new progestogen sterilant will be the best.

Assessing family planning service-delivery practices: the case of private physicians in Jamaica.

This report presents the results of a study of the family planning service-delivery practices of private physicians in Jamaica. All 367 private physicians in Jamaica who offer family planning services, counseling, or referral were included in the survey. The study revealed that a client seeking services might be given a method by one provider and not by another, and that the methods clients use are likely to be influenced by the providers' preferences. Private physicians in Jamaica are in need of access to current international guidance on contraceptive methods and service practices.
