ABSTRACT
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE:
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the rate of continuity and satisfaction with hormonal intrauterine device in renal transplant recipients.METHODS:
This was a prospective observational study. The sample consisted of patients treated at a Family Planning Outpatient Clinic, from August 2016 to September 2021. Information on each patient's age, parity, and associated diseases as well as satisfaction with the method were analyzed. Patients were invited to participate through electronic messages, and the questionnaire included questions about acceptance of the contraceptive method.RESULTS:
A total of 40 patients were included in the study. The mean age of the renal transplant patients was 32.5 years. The mean duration of hormonal intrauterine device use was 37 months. Acceptance of the method was high, with 97.5% of patients remaining on the method for 1 year and 85% of patients using the hormonal intrauterine device at the time of the study. There were no pregnancies or renal transplant complications in the study. Regarding satisfaction with the method, the majority (77.5%) scored 10.CONCLUSION:
Patients were satisfied or very satisfied with the hormonal intrauterine device. Therefore, the continuation rate was high. Furthermore, this contraceptive method proved to be safe and effective in kidney transplant recipients. No complications, graft rejection, or graft failure were observed after intrauterine hormonal device insertion and during follow-up.
