The Effect of Menopause Symptoms on Family Planning Method Preferences in Women: A Cross-Sectional Study

Abstract

Objective: This descriptive, cross-sectional study examined was designed to determine the effect of menopausal symptoms experienced by women in the premenopausal period on family planning method preferences. Material and Methods: Women (n = 280) registered at a hospital in Turkey responded to a The Individual Identification Form and the Menopause Rating Scale between November 1 and May 1, 2020. The data were evaluated using the analyses of percentage, number, mean, standard deviation, Kruskal Wallis test and Pearson correlation analysis. Results: It was determined that 74.2% of the women who participated in the study used any of the family planning methods, and when these methods were examined, they mostly used the copper intrauterine device (18.9%), withdrawal method (14.6%), tuballigation (13.2%), condom (10.7%), pill/combined oral contraceptives (9.6%) respectively. While Menopause Rating Scale total score was 17.51 ± 7.00, it was found to be higher in women who did not use any family planing method (19.55 ± 5.75) and in women who used the withdrawal (18.26 ± 7.00) and combine oral contraceptives (18.25±5.64) methods. Conclusion: The majority of women in the premenopausal period who participated in our study were protected by any family planing method. Women with vasomotor symptoms stopped using family planing considering that they entered the menopause. Those using family planing preferred the combine oral contaceptives method in order to reduce the symptoms.
