[The effect of oral ovulation inhibiting (mono-, bi- and triphase) contraceptives and of Continuin and Postinor on proteo- and steroid hormones].

Endocrinological changes due to the effect of treatment with mono-, bi- and three-phase contraceptive pills taking continuously and occasionally are reviewed. It is established that oral contraceptives based on ovulation inhibition are safe. Less side effects are produced by Ovidon tablets. Continuin and Postinor pills are not safe, and they can produce irregular bleeding. Beside their numerous advances extrauterine pregnancy frequently happens (6.4%). A three-phase preparation is expected to have a reversible effect and lack of a consequent functional infertility. This is improved by hormone level measurements.

Premature discontinuation of contraception in Australia.

Life-history data from a nationally representative survey of Australian women were used to examine discontinuation of contraceptive methods because of accidental pregnancy, side effects or dissatisfaction. The pill was the most successfully used method, with a first-year discontinuation rate of 10% for all three reasons. Side effects dominated the reasons for the premature discontinuation of both the pill and the IUD, while the reasons for discontinuing the condom stemmed equally from pregnancy and dissatisfaction with the method. Discontinuation of the diaphragm resulted largely from accidental pregnancy. Hazards models were used to identify the correlates of discontinuation of each method. Predictors of premature discontinuation reflect the availability of methods, physiological reactions to them and the social characteristics of their users. Discontinuation of the pill because of side effects or dissatisfaction was more likely among poorly educated women, non-Protestants and recent users, and less likely among teenagers. Discontinuation of the IUD was related entirely to physiological factors: Nulliparous women and users of unmedicated devices were at a greater risk than other women of accidental pregnancy, and nulliparous women were at greater risk of discontinuation associated with side effects. Nulliparous women were also more likely to discontinue the condom because of pregnancy, as were non-Protestants and the Australian-born.
