WHY MOST WOMEN ARE NOW CHOOSING IUCD AS THE FAMILY PLANNING METHOD OF THEIR CHOICE.
When it comes to choosing a reliable and effective family planning method for women it's never an easy task, some women end up changing methods from one to another in the hope that they will get a perfect one which will suit their health and general lifestyle, nevertheless no single family planning method that's 100% perfect, there's always advantages and disadvantages of each of them,

Today we focuss on why most Kenyan women are increasingly choosing the Intrauterine Contraceptive Device (IUCD) aka "coil" as their method of choice.

IUCD is relatively highly effective, long-acting, and reversible method of contraception that can last for up to ten years. Key drivers for its uptake include the method's high effectiveness rate, its convenience as a "set it and forget it" option that doesn't interrupt s*x, and its availability at public and private healthcare centers. Recent studies also show that high user satisfaction and a growing awareness about the method's benefits, including its potential to reduce menstrual bleeding, are contributing to increased adoption.

KEY REASONS KENYAN WOMEN CHOOSE THE IUCD
♀️Long-term effectiveness: IUCDs are over 99% effective, providing continuous contraceptive protection for several years, with some lasting up to ten years.
♀️Convenience: It is a long-acting, reversible contraceptive that requires no daily action, and once inserted, women don't need to think about it until it needs to be replaced.
♀️High user satisfaction: Many users express high satisfaction with the IUCD and are likely to recommend it to others, according to studies in Kenya.
♀️Availability: IUCDs are available at public facilities and private facilities
♀️Non-contraceptive benefits: Hormonal IUCDs (IUS) can reduce heavy menstrual bleeding, a benefit that attracts many women and increases demand for the method.
♀️High potential for uptake: Researchers and health programs

Amenorrhea (uh-men-o-REE-uh) is the absence of menstruation, often defined as missing one or more menstrual periods.

Primary amenorrhea refers to the absence of menstruation in someone who has not had a period by age 15. The most common causes of primary amenorrhea relate to hormone levels, although anatomical problems also can cause amenorrhea.

Secondary amenorrhea refers to the absence of three or more periods in a row by someone who has had periods in the past. Pregnancy is the most common cause of secondary amenorrhea, although problems with hormones also can cause secondary amenorrhea.

Treatment of amenorrhea depends on the underlying cause.
