[Urgent contraception [Norlevo]-Experience of the service ''A'' CMNT-About 14 cases]

ABSTRACT

Urgent contraception [naming recognized by the WHO] is a contraceptive method that can be used after a non protected or badly protected sexual act. It is about a retrospective preliminiary study concerning 14 young women, having opted voluntarily for the post coital contraception with the levonorgestrel further to a not protected sexual act. Urgent contraception is indicaed for a delay of 72 hours after a sexual intercourse not protected or in case of failure of a contraceptive method. The average age of our candidates was of 24.4 years with extremes going from 16 to 33 years. 50% of our consultants were single. A pregnancy test had been realized at all our candidates before the intake of the norelevo. It was negative in every case. Average time sold between the report and the ingestion of Norlevo was 15.27 hours without never exceeding 24 hours. The rate of success was 100%. this non-expensive contraception, is easy to implement; it is so much less expensive than an pregnancy interruption [IVG] to which the women often have appeal in case of not wished pregnancy. Urgent contraception is now well codified. Its efficiency approaches 75 to 85%
