Assessment of Health Outcomes Associated with Oral Contraceptive Pill Use Among Rural Women in Pataspur II Block

Abstract

Oral contraceptives, also known as birth control tablets/pills, are medicines that stop pregnancy. About 75% of married women who use contraception in the research location Pataspur-II block area, (Purba Medinipur district) reported they prefer the combined hormonal pill with estrogen and progesterone. Thirty women were chosen at random to participate in the study. Of the 50% who routinely used contraceptive pills and 50% never used them or occasional-ly did so. Her male partner likely uses a condom when necessary. The hormone progesterone is responsible for preventing conception, whereas the oestrogen component regulates menstrual blood loss. A questionnaire survey is used in one-on-one interviews. Statistics used in the study were descriptive. To examine the data, an unpaired‘t’ test was employed. It was found that there were no significant (p>0.05) differences in body mass index, systolic pressure, pulse pressure, pulse rate, between Consumer and Non consumer. But it has noticed that waist hip ratio is significantly (p<0.05) higher in rural areas as compare to Non consumer. In order to provide effective contraception using oral contraceptives, this study investigates the adverse effects of oral contraceptive pills. It highlights the significance of better care coordination among occupational therapist. According to this study, one of the most common oral contraceptive regimens decreases women's quality of life while not affecting de pressive symptoms. However, ovarian and menstrual issues and increased bone mineral density are very noticeable in women in their forties and significantly impact their behavior. It has been shown that birth control pill side effects can include complications including cystic acne, anxiety or irritability, sore breasts, weight gain, or some trouble conceiving after discontinuing the pill. The study makes predictions about the menstrual flow type, dysmenorrheal, blood pressure, waist-hip ratio, and pattern of contraceptive use. Consuming oral contraceptives is linked to some symptoms, including breast soreness, weight gain, missing periods, vaginal discharge, alterations in vision with contact lenses, and irregular or spotty bleeding.
