Abstract

Background and Objectives: Norplant is one of the CONTRACEPTION methods being accepted among females because of its long activity and low motivity. However, norplant has some complications that sometimes makes users to refuse it, and that is why we decided to study discomforting complications after its usage in a descriptive manner on Iranian women.Materials and Methods: In this research clinical discomforting complications and satisfaction rates were studied on 100 female users of norplant in health centers of Kermanshah state. The data gathered by well - trained questionners, was analysed by using descriptive methods.Results: After norplant implantation in 100 females, 16 cases had amenorrhea, 77 cases observed abnormal uterine bleeding, while 7 had no changes in the menstruation. In 40 females no change in weight was noticed, however 25 cases showed weight loss, 35 cases gained the weight and 39 cases had complications in implantation site. The prevalence of some signs increased in some women after usage of norplant as compared to pre-usage stage: headache was initially reported in 3 cases, but after norplant usage 42 females had the problem. Likewise hirsutism, hair loss and acnea, initially observed in 1,3 and 7 cases respectively were later reported by 5,30 and 16 cases respectively . Initially depression and mastalgia were not reported by any female, however after norplant usage 28 and 5 cases complained respectively. In some women, most common reasons for selection of norplant were long activity (62 cases), effectivity (42 cases) and easy to use (42 cases).Conclusion: It appeared that norplant results in significant increase in: abnormal uterine bleeding (p<0.001), hair loss (p<0.001), headache (p<0.001), acnea (p<0.05), depression (p<0.001) and mastalgia (p<0.05), but this method has no significant effect on hirsutism (p>0.1) and breast discharge (p>0.1). Satisfaction was complete in 56%, 19% partially agreed to, 18% disagreed with norplant and 7% had no idea about this contraceptive method. Important discomforting complications of norplant were: abnormal uterine bleeding, headache, weight gain, loss of hair and depression.
