There was no factor predisposing to a failure of the technique (implant in place for less than 2 years and normal BMI). In addition there was no risk factor for an ectopic location of the pregnancy. We discuss the role of the micro progestative in the location of the pregnancy. This case report emphasizes the fact that ectopic pregnancy should not be ruled out in women taking this contraception, however efficient it is otherwise.展开更多

It is pertinent to generate data on the experiences in the use of this contraceptive in a cross sectional study within Zaria, Northern Nigeria. Method: Data on consecutive clients that accepted Jadelle/ Implanon from June 2009 to November 2013 at ABUTH were extracted from their cards and analyzed using SPSS version 17. Out of a total of 11,502 clients that were for contraception during the period under review, 798 accepted Jadelle/Implanon accounting for 7% of the total clients. All the clients were married. About 67.8% were Muslims while 27.2% were Christians and 5% belong to other sect. 4140 (36%) had tertiary education. Most of the client has been on one form of modern contraception;only 16% were first time users who accepted implant after counselling. 37% of the?clients are full time housewives. The discontinuation rate was found to be 26% for Jadelle and 19%?for Implanon. No pregnancy was recorded during this period. Conclusion: Jadelle/Implanon account for 7% of contractive uptake and a high discontinuation rate was found among the users.展开更多

Methods A total of 239 women were enrolled at 3 months of use of the etonogestrel-releasing implant (Implanon) and the levonorgestrel-releasing implant (Jadelle). Bimanual pelvic examination and vaginal ultrasound were performed during routine 3,6 and 12-month visits of asymptomatic women(control group). Women with ovarian cysts (or enlarged ovarian follicles >25 mm) (cysts group) were assessed weekly until disappearence or reduction of the image (including estradiol (E2) and progesterone measurement) and women with no ovarian enlargement underwent same evaluation for the same period of time. Results Ovarian cysts were detected in 5.1% and 13.0% of users of Implanon and Jadelle,respectively,at 3rd month. At the 6th month of use,prevalences were 7.1% and 7.8%,and at 12th month rates were 25.7% and 14.7% in the two groups,respectively. E2 levels were significantly higher in cysts group than in control group. The time until disappearance of the ovarian cyst was similar in Implanon and Jadelle group. There were more cases of menorrhagia in patients rveth ovarian cysts than in patients with no ovarian enlargement. Conclusions The finding of ovarian cysts or enlarged ovarian follicles during the first year of use of Implanon and Jadelle implants is common and transient and should not be interpreted as a pathologic ovarian cyst. No further medical interventions are necessary.展开更多
