Abstract: (271 Views)
Background: The psychological effects of using any method of contraception are not hidden from anyone but in different methods, they have different effects.
Objective: We aim to investigate the different psychological effects of common contraceptive methods in women.
Materials and Methods: A search conducted by key words “contraception”, “psychological effects”, and “women” in PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, Clinical Key data bases. Finally, data retrieved from 12 articles were collected and analyzed.
Results: The positive and negative psychological effects were slightly different in consumers. The effect of oral contraceptive and intrauterine device and sterilization on sex life compared to condoms was reported to be positive and in menstrual experiences, oral contraceptive consumers reported higher satisfaction than other methods, in particular, intrauterine device. The regret in using sterilization was higher than in other methods. Psychopathological disorders and psychological disorders developed while using these methods should be differentiated. Negative psychological effects of women using contraceptive methods are often due to their mental background to a mother's role and fertility and the conflict that exists in these methods with their mental image. Also, cooperation and understanding of spouses on the acceptance of these methods and their positive or negative impact has been reported to be very effective.
Conclusion: Before providing any method of contraception, it is recommended to provide comprehensive counseling on each method and follow up with women while consuming to reduce these symptoms and improving their effectiveness.
