Purpose Of Review: While major complications in second-trimester abortion are rare, blood loss and hemorrhage are among the most common and have the potential for high morbidity. Here, we review the current literature on risk factors, prevention, and treatment of blood loss in second-trimester abortion.
Recent Findings: A comprehensive approach to hemorrhage during second-trimester abortions is essential.
Purpose Of Review: Mobile health outreach programs are an alternative way to provide family planning services for rural populations or populations affected by conflict, outbreaks, or humanitarian crises. Here, we review the current literature about mobile health outreach programs in family planning.
Recent Findings: Mobile health outreach programs are effective in delivering family planning services by increasing access to family planning services including expanding method choice, contributing to resilient healthcare models, and advancing reproductive justice.
Article Synopsis
- The global rise in obesity among women of reproductive age highlights the need for comprehensive contraceptive options to protect their reproductive rights.
- Individuals with obesity often face stigma and discrimination in healthcare settings, necessitating awareness of potential biases during contraceptive care.
- The article evaluates the benefits and drawbacks of various contraceptive methods for people with obesity, emphasizing the importance of inclusive care and long-acting reversible contraceptives while considering health risks and noncontraceptive benefits.
Although most abortion care takes place in the office setting, anesthesiologists are often asked to provide anesthesia for the 1% of abortions that take place later, in the second trimester. Changes in federal and state regulations surrounding abortion services may result in an increase in second-trimester abortions due to barriers to accessing care. The need for interstate travel will reduce access and delay care for everyone, given limited appointment capacity in states that continue to support bodily autonomy.

Here, we review the current literature and identify major themes among them to better understand these myths and misconceptions.
Recent Findings: Myths and misconceptions regarding family planning are a global phenomenon with the most recent studies focused on sub-Saharan Africa and West Africa.
Purpose Of Review: In the past few years, there have been great advances in contraceptive technology and development. Here we review advances in contraception over the past two years including new medications, and technologies.
Recent Findings: Contraception must be discussed within the context of individual goals and context.
Objective: We assess change in bleeding, cramping, and IUD satisfaction among new copper (Cu) IUD users during the first six months of use, and evaluate the impact of bleeding and cramping on method satisfaction.
Methods: We recruited 77 women ages 18-45 for this prospective longitudinal observational cohort study. Eligible women reported regular menses, had no exposure to hormonal contraception in the last three months, and desired a Cu IUD for contraception.
