Article Synopsis
- * Among 400 surveyed women, 75.5% used contraception, primarily female sterilization (35%), but 23.3% had an unmet need for modern contraceptives, often due to believing they had a low pregnancy risk or wanting to become pregnant.
- * The results highlighted a significant gap in knowledge and family planning practices, suggesting the need for improved education about pregnancy risks and effective contraceptive options for this demographic.
Background: Postpartum mini-laparotomy tubal ligation (PPTL) is a contraceptive method that works by interrupting the patency of the fallopian tubes. Several methods are used for intraoperative pain relief, such as systemic administration of opioids or intraperitoneal instillation of lidocaine.
Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of and adverse effects associated with interventions for pain relief in women undergoing PPTL.
Background: The spacing of pregnancies has a positive impact on maternal and newborn health. The progestin contraceptive implant, which is a long-acting, reversible method of contraception, has a well-established low failure rate that is compatible with tubal sterilization. The standard provision of contraceptive methods on the first postpartum visit may put some women at risk of unintended pregnancy, either due to loss to follow-up or having sexual intercourse prior to receiving contraception.
