Abstract

Measuring Some Physiological and Clinical Indicators for Women Using Contraceptives in Diyala Governorate.

Author(s): Shaymaa Mohammed Alwan, Maha Falh Nazal, Anaam Faisal Mohammed*

Introduction: Various types of hormonal and non-hormonal contraceptives are highly efficient and widely used, with the most common ones being combined oral contraceptives and copper intrauterine devices. Contraceptive methods use different strategies including the inhibition of ovulation, alteration of the structure of the endometrium, and densification of the cervical mucosal barrier. These strategies depend on factors such as the type of progestin, length of activity, endogenous hormone levels, and the degree of estrogenic, androgenic, anti-androgenic, glucocorticoid, and anti-cortical activity Objective of the study: The current study aims to determine the levels of physiological variables in women who use contraceptives. Materials and Methods: Samples were collected from Al-Batoul Teaching Hospital, family planning department, private clinics, and health centers in Diyala governorate from July to October 2023. A total of 90 women were enrolled in this study According to the inclusion criteria, 50 women used contraceptive methods (study group), while the other 40 females did not use any contraceptive method (control group). These women were healthy. Blood sampling was conducted by extracting 5 ml of venous blood using a sterile, disposable medical syringe which was then inserted into a centrifuge tube for separation in a centrifuge for 15 minutes to obtain plasma. The levels of PT, PT, INR, and LUPUS were determined using calcium thermoplastine to measure the clotting time of the patient's plasma and compare it to the normal standard. This test measures the clotting factors such as proaccelerin V, proconvertin VII, fibrinogen I, prothrombin II, and stuart X. Results: The results of the current study show that there are significant differences (p<0.05) between the levels of PTT and the two study groups. It was found that PTT levels were high in patients (36.72
