This seems to have been true for all people at all times.

Efficacy of a Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator: 'Ormeloxifene' in Management of Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding
JSAFOG CLINICALEfficacy PRACTICEof a Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator: ‘Ormeloxifene’ in Management of Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding Efficacy of a Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator: ‘Ormeloxifene’ in Management of Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding 1Tapan Kumar Bhattacharyya, 2Anusyua Banerji 1Professor and Head, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, SRMS Institute of Medical Sciences, Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh India 2Senior Resident, RG Kar Medical College, Kolkata, West Bengal, India Correspondence: Tapan Kumar Bhattacharyya, Professor and Head, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, SRMS Institute of Medical Sciences, Bareilly-243202, Uttar Pradesh, India, Phone: 09748236960, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Background: Ormeloxifene, a third generation selective estrogen receptor modulator, has been claimed to ameliorate symptoms of DUB. This study was undertaken to compare the efficacy of ormeloxifene and norethisterone. Methods: 180 cases of DUB, who have completed child bearing and are above 35 years, were randomly assigned ormeloxifene, progesterone and iron groups. Ormeloxifene group received ormeloxifene for 12 weeks. Norethisterone group received norethisterone for 12 days in every cycle for six cycles. Iron was given as 60 mg of elemental iron daily. Before starting drug therapy, ultrasound, office hysteroscopy and endometrium sampling for histopathology was obtained and repeated at end of follow-up. The side effects and complications of drug ormeloxifene were noted and relief of symptoms and patient acceptability were compared with norethisterone. Results: 81.7% in the ormeloxifene administered subjects marked relief of symptoms with significant reduction of PBAC scores, reduction of blood clots, and rise in hemoglobin levels. Side effects/complications included amenorrhea, urinary incontinence and genital prolapse. The ease of administration of ormeloxifene facilitated compliance and acceptability. -
1 Age, Race, Parity, and Access to Same-Day IUD Insertion at Obstetrician-Gynecology Practices in Ohio
Age, Race, Parity, and Access to Same-Day IUD Insertion at Obstetrician-Gynecology Practices in Ohio: A Mystery Client Study Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degrees Master of Arts and Master of Public Health in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jaclyn Jean Serpico Graduate Program in Public Health and Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies The Ohio State University 2018 Thesis Committee Wendy Smooth, Advisor JaNelle Ricks, Advisor Mytheli Sreenivas Maria Gallo 1 Copyrighted by Jaclyn Jean Serpico 2018 2 Abstract This study investigated the availability of same-day intra-uterine device (IUD) insertion and whether women in Ohio face age, race or parity-based bias in attempts to schedule an IUD insertion appointment. We used a mystery client approach to test scheduling bias and same-day insertion availability at obstetrician-gynecology practices in Ohio, a method that, to our knowledge, has never been used in the U.S. to investigate barriers to IUD access. We called a random sample of 396 obstetrician-gynecology practices while posing as a potential client seeking an appointment to receive an IUD. Using one of eight standardized scripts, we determined the availability of same-day IUD insertion, and whether willingness of office staff to schedule IUD insertion appointments varied by patient’s age, parity, or race. Practices were randomized to follow a balanced 3x2 factorial design, whereby practices were assigned to one of two conditions: (1) age (18 vs. 30 years of age); (2) parity (nulliparous vs. primiparity); and (3) race (white vs. Black). The overwhelming majority (92.35%) of practices required multiple appointments for IUD insertion (as opposed to same-day insertion). -

DOCUMENT RESUME ED 342 513 RC 018 171 AUTHOR Littlefield, Carla N.; And Others TITLE Family Planning for Migrant Farmworkers of Mexican Culture: A Framework for Action. INSTITUTION Colorado Community Health Network, Inc., Denver. PUB DATE Feb 86 NOTE 93p. PUB TYPE Guides - Non-Classroom Use (055) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC04 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS At Risk Persons; *Contraception; *Family Planning; *Health Education; *Mexican Americans; Mexicans; Migrant Health Services; *Migrant Workers; Pregnancy; *Program Implementation IDENTIFIERS Mexico ABSTRACT This guide, written for health managers and clinicians, provides information to meet the family planning needs of migrant farmworkers of Mexican culture. The promotion of maternal and child health for migrant farmworker families has brought attention to the incidence of high risk pregnancies among this population. Research indicates that a need exists to increase accessibility and acceptability of family planning services for Mexican American migrant farmworkers. Because of the cultural similarit4s between Mexicans and Mexican Americans, successful family planning programs in rural areas of Mexico are relevant to service providers in the United States. The first chapter of the guide focuses on women and discusses maternal and infant health risks, social Influences and attitudes toward family planning, contraceptive methods for women, and effective means for delivering services. Chapter 2 discusses adolescents and describes influences on adolescent sexuality, risks for sexually active adolescents, contraceptives for adolescents, program implications, and effective means for delivering services. The last chapter centers on the role of males in family planning. Involving males in family planning and providing accurate information about contraceptives would promote positive outcomes. Male methods of contraception are also discussed. -

Sterilization As a Family Planning Method
December 2018 | Fact Sheet Sterilization as a Family Planning Method Sterilization is a permanent method of contraception, and is the most commonly used form of family planning among couples both in the United States and worldwide. For men and women who no longer want to have children, sterilization offers a permanent, safe, cost-effective and efficacious way to prevent unintended pregnancy. Male sterilization is less common than female sterilization, but both are nearly 100% effective at preventing pregnancy. The Affordable Care Act’s no-cost coverage of sterilization has increased the affordability of the procedure for women, but it is still unclear the overall effect this will have on future utilization rates. Recent changes to insurance coverage policy, broader availability of long- acting contraceptives, as well as changes in the health care delivery system may reshape the choices that men and women make regarding the use of sterilization as a contraceptive method. This fact sheet explains the types of sterilization procedures available to women and men, reviews private insurance and Medicaid coverage policy, and discusses issues that affect availability in the U.S. Female Sterilization Female sterilization is an Figure 1 outpatient surgical Prevalence of Sterilization Among Women 15 to 44 Who procedure.

Abstract Birth control options for women have advanced significantly over the past century. Barrier methods such as diaphragms became readily available in the first half of the 20th century, while hormonal contraceptives such as the birth control pill have defined advances in the latter half. While the diaphragm is still contextualized in modern sexual health discourse as an accessible birth control option, women in North America, and across the globe, are finding it increasingly difficult to obtain. This is partly because the skill of fitting a diaphragm is disappearing in medical practice, and also due to pharmaceutical influence on medicine that promotes hormonal methods and IUDs (intrauterine devices) as being more efficacious and profitable. -
