Abstract
A method which a woman can use after unprotected intercourse to avert pregnancy is called Contraception. A particular form of contraception that is used in an emergency to avert pregnancy following unprotected intercourse is called Emergency contraception. The main objective of this study is to find the need for emergency contraception and to evaluate the efficacy and side effects of two different contraceptive methods i.e. contraceptive pill and Intra Uterine Device (IUD). Material and Methods: A 2-years study was conducted at Federal Medical Centre (FMC) Owerri, Imo State, Nigeria. Results: A total of 74 subjects were registered with study. In that 17 (22.97%) chose IUD and 57 (77.03%) chose pill as emergency contraceptives. To subjects who came within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse the pill was given and to those who came after 72 hours but within 120 hours of unprotected intercourse the IUD was given. Reasons for choosing emergency contraception were: no previous contraception used (52 %), problem with barrier methods (40%), problems with other IUD (8%). Side effects were minimal with Pill, Nausea (6.34 %). Among IUD users, irregular bleeding (12.8%) and low abdominal pain (20.5%). Conclusions: Both Pill and IUD are safe and effective methods of emergency contraception with minimal side effects.
