Measuring contraceptive use in a displacement-affected population using the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey: The case of Iraq - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35677661/

Access to safe, effective, affordable, and acceptable contraceptive methods of choice is a basic right for displaced people. Yet displaced people are typically invisible in national sample surveys on population...


Relevance: This paper highlights the methodological potential and substantive value of using national household surveys to analyse reproductive health outcomes through a displacement lens. It also critically examines the limitations of these data and measures, drawing on total survey error and feminist theory.

Profile of estetrol, a promising native estrogen for oral contraception and the relief of climacteric symptoms of menopause - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35306927/

Extensive studies have elucidated the properties of E4 that underlie its favorable safety profile. While classical estrogens (such as estradiol) exert their actions via both activation of nuclear and membrane...


Expert opinion:
Extensive studies have elucidated the properties of E4 that underlie its favorable safety profile. While classical estrogens (such as estradiol) exert their actions via both activation of nuclear and membrane estrogen receptor α (ERα), E4 presents a specific profile of ERα activation: E4 binds and activates nuclear ERα but...

Association of Chlamydia trachomatis infection with cervical atypia in adolescent women with short-term or long-term use of oral contraceptives: a longitudinal study in HPV vaccinated women

Source : https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/12/6/e056824

Objective We assessed the relationship between Chlamydia trachomatis infection, duration of oral contraceptive (OC) use and cervical atypia among young adult Finnish women. Design A longitudinal study. Setting and participants...


Conclusions:
The risk of SIL in HPV vaccinated women is significantly increased if they are C. trachomatis positive and have used OC for 5 or more years. The biological basis may be lack of condom facilitated protection against sexually transmitted diseases.

Conclusions:
We found low awareness regarding the associated lower risk of ovarian, endometrial and cervical cancer associated with the use of some contraceptives, evidencing the need to provide more information about the non-contraceptive benefits during training for health care providers.
