AIMS AND OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of DMPA, its acceptance and its side effects in postpartum and postabortal women. MATERIALS AND METHOD: The type of study was prospective, interventional, longitudinal and a single centered study conducted in Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at L G Hospital, Maninagar, Ahmedabad. Study group received Inj. DMPA 150 mg intra muscularly immediately after abortion and delivery before discharge from hospital (Day 2 to 7 of their delivery). They were given DMPA every 3 months. RESULTS: In present study out of 90 patients,50 patients (55.55%) took injection post-delivery and 40 patients (44.44%) took it post abortion. Irregular bleeding was major side effect seen in 55 patients (61.11%), amenorrhea seen in 26 (29%) patients, weight gain noted in 3 patients over 1 year, other side effects were headache, backache, dyspareunia, erythema nodosum in 5 patients. In post-partum women, lactation remained unaffected. CONCLUSION:Patients prefer DMPA because it is non-coitus dependent, convenient, long acting and other non-contraceptive benefits. No effect on lactation. The return of fertility takes 7-10 months from date of last injection, but it is completely reversible.
