Abstract:
871 women who have using DMPA contraceptive injection from 1997 to 2001 in 3 provinces of Yen Bai, Thanh Hoa, Dong Thap (each district for province and a total of 13 communes) were assessed. 88.4% of subjects had had side effects, among them 40.1% amenorrhoae, 25.1% dysmenorrhoae, 19.5% weight gain, 22% head pain, 13.3% nausea. Two typical signs are facial skin darkening and vaginal dryness. Menstruation disorder and amenorrhoae are positively proportional and vaginal dryness and facial skin darkening are inversely proportional with age, the number of pregnancy and of pregnancy termination.
