Background: Injection hormonal contraceptive can be distinguished into depomedroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) and combination. DMPA injection is administered in single dose of 150 mg/mL intramuscular every 12 week. It was hypothesized that DMPA injection resulted inadvertent effect such as lowered sexual life quality, increased body mass index, lowered quality of skin health, and abnormal uterine bleeding. This study aimed to examine the effects of DMPA injection on sexual life, body mass index, skin health, and abnormal uterine bleeding. Subjects and Method: This was observational analytical study with retrospective cohort design. This study was conducted in Jombang, East Java. A total sample of 149 women of reproductive age consisting of 99 DMPA injection contraceptive users and 50 non hormonal contraceptiveusers was selected for this study, by stratified random sampling. The dependent variables were sexual life quality, body mass index (BMI), skin health, and uterine bleeding. The independent variable was DMPA injection contraceptive use and age. The data were collected by a set of questionnaire. Sexual life quality was measured by female sexual function index (FSFI). The data were analyzed by multiple logistic regression. Results: Hormonal contraceptive use (OR= 20.17; 95% CI = 6.62 to 61.42; p<0.001) and age 30-35 years old (OR= 17.51; 95% CI= 5.74 to 53.38; p<0.001) increased the risk of low quality of sexual life. Age 30-35 years old lowered (OR= 0.16; 95% CI= 0.07 to 0.36; p<0.001) low quality of skin health. Hormonal contraceptive use (OR= 4.25; 95% CI= 1.95 to 9.30; p<0.001) increased the risk of low quality of skin health. Conclusion: Hormonal contraceptive use and age 30-35 years increase the risk of low quality of sexual life. Age 30-35 years old decreases low quality of skin health but hormonal contraceptive use increases the risk of low quality of skin health.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
