of women with disabilities are getting the best deal when enjoying sex without the risk of pregnancy if you do not want or are not able to get the parent of a child? According to Dr. Maida Taylor of the University of California, low-dose hormonal contraceptive converted a lot of women with disabilities than many other types of birth control, including the spiral, until monitoring is carried out regularly adjusted, if necessary.
This does not depend on the type of impairment women experience, including intellectual disability, which type of low-dose contraceptive suitable but the Depo injection or implants are not the only way birth control that can be considered. Even in the low-dose oral contraceptives, in some circumstances, quite OK.
Depo-Provera shot of [medroxyprogesterone acetate] popular because it takes three months, that it does not contain estrogen and is highly effective in preventing pregnancy. The injection of the woman's buttocks or arm muscle. The "shot" does not comply with all women because it can cause headaches, bloating / weight gain and irregular bleeding, which is pretty tough for anyone to deal with, and I imagine the last thing you need if you are disabled.
top Dr. Taylor a number of diseases and disabilities and below his recommendations, which are suitable for contraceptives for women concerned
Visual impairment and blindness. – When estrogen-induced forms of thrombosis, including any contraceptive may be unsuitable. Dr. Taylor explains ", but there is no evidence that hormonal contraception accelerates microvascular disease of diabetic patients. Because of pregnancy is a high probability of requiring accelerating retinal disease, effective contraception essential susceptible insulin diabetes"
stroke, head trauma and cerebrovascular – male and female condoms, caps, diaphragms and pessaries are fine. IUDs are good too. Again, Dr. Taylor warns that if the cause of the thrombotic disorder, the contraceptive containing no estrogen is used. As with any form of visual impairment, if a woman had suffered a head injury he should be very careful using oral contraceptives (OC) so as to avoid causing further damage, although the risk is small. "Contraceptive implants and injections of progesterone can be considered as a consultation," Dr. Taylor.
Cerebral palsy, polio, muscular dystrophy, and estrogen containing -low hormonal birth control pills and other methods of contraception should be used with care and preferably only when a woman is quite active. If a woman he was still at greater risk of blood clots / thrombosis. The membranes are good but may not be appropriate if a woman's bladder is not working properly, as they contribute to hold back urine, urinary tract infection and a later development.
Mental retardation – condoms, caps, diaphragms and other contraceptive methods are not suitable for women who are severely disabled, so for maximum efficiency and user comfort Depo injections and implants are provided to these women . Dr. Taylor emphasizes "any and all contraception in this population, consent of the parents, conservators, or courts may be raised. And you need to work with patients so you understand as much as possible, pregnancy, sexuality and childbearing."
loss of arm, hand – this disability allows multiple low-dose hormonal contraception can be used if desired and contraceptive methods can be particularly convenient and hassle-free with disabilities woman, but all this must be worked out with a partner who must be willing to help the contraceptive method that suits them both – so frank conversations going in advance.
loss or impairment of movement, paralysis or amputation of the foot Partial mobility – this often means that a woman confined to a chair or bed, and do not move actively around so the increased thrombosis risk analysis. without low-dose estrogen contraceptive methods would not be suitable.
a woman "contraception career 'lasts for decades, but it does not have to be a burden on women with disabilities – when combined with the constant monitoring of other medicines taken when using low-dose birth control pills, and changing hormones should be performed. The type of low-dose birth control that has served you well 29 can not be satisfactory when you're 35. If debilitation occurs or the progression of a disease brings the immobility and affects the immune system, a method of contraception should be investigated.
people with disabilities have the right to grow a variety of contraceptive methods "designed" to him throughout his "career contraception." If he can not make a choice himself, definitely you have a duty of care to honor and acknowledge the sexuality by her decision that she can celebrate her femininity security?
