STORIES ABOUT FOLLICULAR STUDY AND IRREGULAR PERIODS
This is
about lady with 28 years married for 5 years with irregular periods.
When we did follicular study follicles are not developing well. we increased
the dosage of cloniphene citrate from 50
to 200mg with added dosage of injection FSH. Still she had no proper growth of
follicles. I felt it was a very difficult case. She was also dejected and stopped
treatment.
Fig 1.1 Irregular periods Days
After one and half year she came again and I remembered her case; I
thought again the same problem might recur.
But she was happy and smiling. She said
her periods had become regular,
she wanted to go for follicular study that cycle .
Fig 1.2 Irregular Period Time and Worries
she also suggested that I
induce the cycle with 100mg clome tablets
as her periods have become regular. I was surprised but
obliged her, as there was some reasoning in it. To my astonishment the
follicles developed very nicely and ruptured at the optimum size of 20x23mm. Both
of us were happy about it and she conceived the same cycle. I asked how her periods became
regular and she had this story to tell.
Fig 1.3 Period Cycles and Treatments
She was a joint family .she was unemployed previously and her
husband had temporary job. To come to the clinic she had to ask her
mother-in-law for medical expenses; her co sisters would be grumbling to adjust
the household work whenever she came to the hospital. Coming to hospital was a
big ordeal for her. The follicle problem made her feel helpless and hopeless.
Fig 1.4 Normal Ovary and Polycystic ovaries comparison
Six months after stopping the treatment her husband got a permanent job and
they setup a separate family; she also started doing a job. There was a
financial freedom and no quarreling with co sisters. She was peaceful and
happy. She was busy doing household work and office work there was no time to
think and worry about pregnancy. She was surprised to find her periods becoming
regular for the past 6 months. After observing the regularity of the periods,
she felt that her periods improved and felt confident about herself and decided
to take treatment. This story made me understand that influence of emotions on
follicle growth.
Fig 1.5 Heavy Pain During Periods
Women was married for 10years with
history of irregular periods and pco. She had already undergone laparoscopy elsewhere for pco and
unfortunately her problem had recurred. She was not obese; I had given her
medicines and did follicular study there was no follicular growth. Women volunteered to undergo laparoscopy with me. She was very firm about the
decision. So I did repeat ovarian drilling ; after the surgery also ,though the
pco was cleared the periods was irregular and there was no improvement in
follicle growth.
Fig 1.6 Treatments for Ovaries
The surprising observation about her was that she never felt
dejected or cried. It seemed that she
has accepted the irregular periods. She was very cool and talked normally. She
never felt bad about the improper follicular growth, in
contrast to other prospective mothers with same problem, who used to feel
anxious and worried about follicular problem.
I asked about her (adamant
and persistent) irregular periods, when it started and other details and she
narrated her story. She used to have regular periods since menarche (the time
of attaining maturity). A few months before her marriage she developed heavy
bleeding and her mother took her to a doctor, who prescribed hormone pills ( 3
weeks pills).
Video 1.1 Andal Fertility Treatments for periods
She was advised to take the tablets for 3 months. She took the
pills for 1 month and the next month she went to her grandmothers place; there she went to the medical shop and ask
for the pill. The chemist who was their family friend told her, “ young girls like you should not use these tablets;
you have taken for 1 month! Don’t take it.”
so she felt guilty that she had
taken some dangerous pills that would have surely harmed her uterus. From then
on her periods became irregular. I could see
her firm belief that uterus and ovary were damaged was the reason for her irregular periods.
I told her that we use
such tablets some times for 6 months or more also depending on the necessity.
Unmarried girls also can safely use those pills , under supervision for right
indications. I convinced her if she believed my words backed with experienced
,she would surely get regular periods as her uterus and ovaries are as normal
as anybody else.
She appeared relieved;
and came after 3 weeks with periods without using any tablets. She was
surprised and happy. I advised her strongly to indulge in some hobby. She
started painting saries. her periods became consistently regular, with normal
follicular study and she conceived. Now she is having 2 children.

FAMILY PLANNING METHODS AND TREATMENT TO BE FOLLOWED
The term contraception includes
all temporary or permanent measures, to
prevent pregnancy .
Ideal contraceptive methods should fulfill the following criteria – widely acceptable, inexpensive, simple to use, safe, highly effective and requiring minimal motivation, maintenance and supervision.
TEMPORARY:
BARRIERMETHODS
IUCD(INTRAUTERINE contraceptive device)
OCP(oral contraceptive pill)
PERMANENT
MALE ---Vasectomy
FEMALE---Tubectomy
BARRIER
METHODS
·
Mechanical:
1. Male – Condom
2. Female – Condom, diaphragm, cervical cap
Chemical
(Vaginal contraceptives)
3. Creams – Delfen (nonoxynol-9, 12.5%)
4. Jelly – Koromex, Volpar paste
5. Foam tables – Aerosol foams, Chlorimin T or Contab, Sponge (Today)

CONDOM
ADVANTAGES
|
DISADVANTAGES
|
May accidentally break or slip off
during coitus.
|
|
Inadequate sexual pleasure.
|
|
Easy to carry, simple to use and
disposable.
|
To discard after one coital act.
|
Useful where the coital act is
infrequent and irregular
Protection against sexually
transmitted diseases, e.g. gonarrhoea, Chlamydia, HPV and HIV
|
|
Protection against pelvic
inflammatory diseases
|
Failure rate – 14(HWY); 3(HWY) when
used correctly and consistently.
Precautions:
- To use a fresh condom for every act of coitus.
- To cover the penis with condom prior to genital contact
- Create a reservoir at the tip.
- To withdraw while the penis is still erect.
- To grasp the base of the condom during withdrawal.
Fig 1.4 Methods to stop Female Pregnancy
FEMALE CONDOM (FEMIDOM)
It gives protection against sexually
transmitted disease and pelvic inflammatory disease. It is expensive. Failure
rate is about 3-5/HWY.
VAGINAL
CONTRACEPTIVES:
The cream or jelly is introduced high
in the vagina . Foam tablets (1-2) are to be introduced high in the vagina at
least 5 minutes prior to intercourse.
VAGINAL
CONTRACEPTIVE SPONGE (Today)
It is made of polyurethane impregnated
with 1gm of nonoxynol-9 as a spermicide. Nonoxynol-9 acts as a surfactant which
either immobilizes or kills sperm. The sponge should not be removed for 6 hours
after intercourse. It’s failure rate is about 10/HWY.
RHYTHM
METHOD:
This method is based on identification
of the fertile period of a cycle and to abstain from sexual intercourse during
that period.
The first unsafe day is obtained by
subtracting 20 days from the length of the shortest cycle and last unsafe day
by deducting 10 days from the longest cycle.
Failure rate 20-30 (HWY)
Not applicable during lactational
amenorrhoea or when the periods are irregular
COITUS
INTERRUPTUS:
It necessitates withdrawal of penis
shortly before ejaculation. Accidental chance of sperm deposition
into the vagina. Failure rate – 20(HWY)
BREASTFEEDING,
LACTIONAL AMENORRHOEA (LAM)
Thus during breastfeeding, additional
contraceptive support should be given by condom, IUCD or injectable steroids
where available to provide complete contraception.
When the women is full breastfeeding, a
contraceptive method should be used in the 3rd postpartum month and with partial or no breastfeeding, she
should use it in the 3rd postpartum week.
full breastfeeding and amennorhoehic - risk of pregnancy <2% in first 6 months
general
--- risk of pregnancy 1- 10%
INTRAUTERINE
CONTRACEPTIVE DEVICES(IUCD)
Cu T200B ------ replaced every 3 years
Cu T 380A:- ----Replacement every 10 years
Multiload Cu 250:- replacement every 3 years. Multiload Cu375 replaced every 5 years
Levonorgestrel intrauterine system (LNG-IUS):-
n replaced every 5 years.
MODE
OF ACTION:
Video 1.1 Fertility and Treatments
- Biochemical and histological changes in the endometrium
- Copper devices – Preventing implantation through enzymatic interference.
- There may be increased tubal motility
- There may be impaired sperm ascent
- Levonorgestrel-IUS(Mirena) – It induces strong and uniform suppression of endometrium.
- Cervical mucous becomes very scantly.
- I is preferable to insert 2-3 days after the period is over.
CONTRA INDICATION FOR IUCD INSERTION
1)MENORRHAGEA
2)PELVIC INFECTION(PID)
3)DYSMENORRHOEA
factors related to its discontinuation
(10%-15%)
Pain, abnormal uterine bleeding and PID
SPONTANEOUS EXPULSION – The expulsion rate is about 5 percent.
FAILURE RATE–
The pregnancy rate with the device in situ is about 2 per 100 women years of use. Lowest
pregnancy rates are observed with Cu T 380A (0.8-HWY) and LNG-IUS (0.2 – HWY).
Fig 1.12 Contra indication for insertion
- 3rd generation IUCD(Cu T 380A, Multiload Cu375 and Levonorgestrel-IUS(Mirena)
- Higher efficacy with lowest pregnancy rate (less than one pre 100 women years).
- Longer duration of action (5-10 years)
- Low expulsion rate and fewer indications for medical removal.
- Risk of ectopic pregnancy is significantly reduced (Cu T-380A and LNG- IUS:0.02HWY)
- Non-contraceptive benefits specially with LNG-IUD
- Can be used as an alternative to hysterectomy for menorrhagia, DUB.
- Apart from the use of Cu T as a contraceptive, it is used following synaecolysis.

MENSTRUAL ABNORMALITIES -
·
Breakthrough
bleeding
is commonly due to sub threshold blood level of hormones
other causes
of break through bleeding in pill takers are
1) disturbance of drug absorption – diarrhea , Vomiting
2)use of enzyme inducing drugs (mentioned earlier) , missing pills, use of low does pills
3) pregnancy complications
4) Diseases -- cervical ectopy or carcinoma.

Amenorrhea:
Post pill amenorrhea of more than 6 months duration occurs in less than 1 percent cases. The association is casual not casual .it is usually more in women with per-existing functional menstrual disorders.
Post pill amenorrhea of more than 6 months duration occurs in less than 1 percent cases. The association is casual not casual .it is usually more in women with per-existing functional menstrual disorders.
Hypertension: Current low dose COC5
rarely cause significant hypertension. Pre-existing Hypertension is likely to
be aggravated.
VASCULAR COMPLICATIONS (OGN):
Venous thromboembolism (vtm) - the overall risk is to the extent of 4-6
times more than the non –users .pre-existing hypertension, diabetes , obesity
and elderly patient (over 35 specially with smoking habits ) are some of the
important risk factors ethinyl oestrodiol
in preference to menstranol and the reduction of the dose of the oestrogen
compound to 20 ug in the pill markedly reduce the incidence
Plasma lipids and lipoproteins are increased .total cholesterol and
triglycerides are increased .Preparation with more selective, lipid friendly
and third generation progestin’s namely desogestrel, gestodeone or norgestimate,
HDL Level is some what elevated .
VITAMINS AND MINERALS:
Vitamins b6,b12,
folic acid ,calcium , manganese, zinc and ascorbic acid levels are
decreased while vit a and vit k levels
are increased.
INJECTABLE PROGESTINS:
NET –EN IN A DOSE OF 200 MG GIVEN AT TWO – MONTHLY INTERVELS.DMPA 150 mg three monthly intervals.
NET –EN IN A DOSE OF 200 MG GIVEN AT TWO – MONTHLY INTERVELS.DMPA 150 mg three monthly intervals.
Mechanism of action :
1) Inhibition of ovulation by suppressing the mid cycle LH Peak
2) cervical mucous becomes thick and viscid therapy prevents sperm penetration
3) Endometrium is atrophic preventing blastocyst implantation

Fig 1.14.a. Ingectible Progestins
Advantages :
1)it eliminates regular medication as imposed by oral pill
2) it can be used safely during lactation.
Disadvantages :
There is chance of
irregular bleeding and occasional phase of amenorrhea. Loss of bone

No fetal adverse effects has been
observed when there is failure of emergency contraception
Mode of action
·
Ovulation is either prevented or
delayed when the drug is taken in the beginning of the cycle
·
Fertilization is interfered
·
Implantation is prevented as the
endometrium is rendered unfavorable.
·
Interferes with the function of corpus luteum or may
causes luteolysis.
Draw backs:
Nausea and vomiting are much more intense with
oestrogen use
Copper IUD:
Introduction of copper IUD within a maximum
period of 5 days can prevent conception following accidental unprotected
exposure .this prevent implantation.
Anti progesterone:
Anti progesterone binds competitively to
progesterone receptors and nullifies the effects of endogenous progesterones.
PERMANENT METHODS
The operation done on
male is vasectomy and that on the female is tubal
occlusion, or tubectomy
occlusion, or tubectomy
VASECTOMY
Advantages:
1) The operation can be done as an outdoor procedure
2) Failure rate is minimal – 0.15
percent and there is a fair chance of success of reversal anastomosis operation
(50%)
Female : TUBECTOMY
Puerperal:- 24-48 hours after delivery
Interval: 3 months after delivery. It is done after periods
Concurrent:
done along with termination of pregnancy
done along with termination of pregnancy
Open—pomeroy’s method failure rate .1-.3%
Lap—rings failure
rate-.2--.6%
Contraceptive prescription
should be on individual basis. In an individual , Method may vary according to
her phase of reproductive life .Teenage girls, Older women should also be
protected.
