Effects of hormonal contraceptives on women's health and fertility
HAVLUJOVÁ, Anna
The bachelor thesis Effect of hormonal contraception on women's health and fertility is dealing with women's knowledge about hormonal contraception, about its effects and its risks and at the same time finds out, from where women take information about hormonal contraception most often. Thesis is divided to theoretical and practical part. In theoretical part is described a history of contraception, phase of the hormonal cycle, which is related to the usage of hormonal contraception and different kinds of contraception including description of advantages and disadvantages based on each types. The individual types of non-hormonal and hormonal contraceptions are described here including their benefits and risks based on their usage. At the end of the theoretical part is added a chapter on the education of women about hormonal contraception by midwives. In the practical part is qualitative research, which consisted from 12 interviews. There is described woman's awareness about benefits and risks, which usage of hormonal contraception represents. Research finds out sources, from which women most often derive their information about homornal contraception. The main point of the thesis is to find out woman's awareness about benefits and risks connected with usage of hormonal contraception, which can affect their health, but also can have negative impact on fertility. The results of research pointed out an insufficient awareness about function of hormonal contraception and poor knowledge in the area of using hormonal contraception. Only two women were able to state serious risk of thrombosis occurence. The knowledge about hormonal contraception were basic and disparate. Women don't use all of available sources of informations. They usually rely on informations from their gynecologist and from closest surroundings. Superficial knowledge is enough for most, but they do not deal with them more in depth. It is necessary to focus more on education on this topic in order for women to not look only on the benefits, but to mainly think about risks, which, hormonal contraception represents and may affect their planned pregnancy in the future. It would be appropriate to focus on women education already in the schools and later in gynecologist's office, where they could apply and pass on their knowledge of a midwife.
