The website for Irish women
A new study has shown that nearly 80% of Irish women are unaware of long-term contraception options for their birth control. This is despite the admission that more than 60% of women have forgotten to take at least two pills per cycle.
For women who were aware of long-term solutions to contraception, uptake in Ireland remains low. Only 8% of women have had an injection, 7% have had an intrauterine system , and 6% having received a hormonal implant. The contraception debate is also a shared responsibility, with nearly half of women saying they take joint responsibility with their partner when it comes to making contraception choices. The survey also found nearly 80% of couples discuss contraception options at some stage in their relationship.
“The survey showed that many women are uneasy or are fearful of having an internal long term contraceptive and more clarity is needed around what it entails. The new devices available now are very small and non-invasive and they have been shown to be more effective then short term contraception as women do not need to worry about forgetting a dose.
