| Title: | Menstrual changes during NORPLANT® use and return of fertility following NORPLANT® implant removal: The Singapore experience | Authors: | Singh, K. Viegas, O.A.C. Ratnam, S.S. |
Issue Date: | 1991 | Citation: | Singh, K., Viegas, O.A.C., Ratnam, S.S. (1991). Menstrual changes during NORPLANT® use and return of fertility following NORPLANT® implant removal: The Singapore experience. Advances in Contraceptive Delivery Systems 7 (2) : 139-145. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | Desire for planned pregnancy and disruption of menstrual rhythm were the two main reasons for NORPLANT® implant removal in Singapore. The post-removal conception rate in women desiring planned pregnancy was 81% at the end of one year. This rate is comparable to normal rates of fecundity and the rates for former users of IUD and Depo-provera. It thus appears that NORPLANT® offers a highly effective, safe, acceptable and reversible method of contraception. | Source Title: | Advances in Contraceptive Delivery Systems | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/131320 | ISSN: | 01436112 |
