Abstract:
Womens concerns about contraceptive-induced menstrual changes can lead to method discontinuation and nonuse, contributing to the unmet need for contraception. Research on womens perceptions of amenorrhea related to longer acting methods and in low-income countries is limited. Data from nationally representative household surveys and focus group discussions with women of reproductive age were used to examine sociodemographic and reproductive characteristics associated with womens attitudes about contraceptive-induced amenorrhea. Qualitative data from focus group discussions were analyzed to understand the reasons behind womens attitudes and how they influence contraceptive decision-making. Qualitative analysis revealed a variety of reasons for womens attitudes about amenorrhea and differences by country, but the relationship between these attitudes and contraceptive decision-making was similar across countries. Addressing misconceptions about contraception and menstruation may result in more informed method decision-making.
