This review summarizes the current opinions on the mechanisms of action of nuclear, mitochondrial, and membrane progesterone receptors. The main aspects of the pharmacological action of progestins have been studied. Data on the clinical use of gestagens by nosological groups are presented. Particular attention is paid to progesterone, megestrol acetate, medroxyprogesterone acetate due to broadening of their spectrum of action. The possibilities of using gestagens as neuroprotectors, immunomodulators, and chemosensitizers are considered.

“…The use of contraceptives among women of gestational age has been increasing in demand for several decades, to prevent unintended pregnancies [4]. However, studies have shown that a high percentage of those who use contraceptives are at risk of unwanted pregnancies, which may be due to inconsistent or ineffective use [5,6]. Unintended pregnancy has been associated with some socio-demographic factors including education level, age, area of residence, etc.…”

An unintended pregnancy is an indicator of a woman's reproductive health status. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of unwanted pregnancy and related factors among pregnant women in Erbil Governorate, Iraqi Kurdistan. This cross-sectional study was carried out between 1/2/2020 and 31/1/2021. It was conducted with 500 pregnant women who attended an antenatal care hospital in downtown Erbil, as well as two health centers in the region. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data. Descriptive statistical method was used to analyze data using the SPSS system. The results showed that of the total pregnant women participating, 179 (39.4%) were exposed to an unintended pregnancy, the proportion of unintended pregnant women in the older (≥ 35) age group (18.4%) and those with insufficient income (30.4%) was significantly (p ≤ 0.05) greater compared with those who intended to become pregnant (2.8% and 22.6%). Women with unintended pregnancies had a significantly higher incidence of multi-gravida and parity ≥4 than women with intended pregnancies. The majority of pregnant women without intent (73%) were using contraceptives, 58% of whom gave birth naturally. Our region needs more studies on unintended pregnancies, delving into more accurate details, and spreading reproductive health awareness among women, especially concerning contraceptives.

“…Today, various methods of modern contraception focus on techniques that have proven to be effective and are widely used. 1 For example, long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) are birth control methods that provide effective contraception long-term without requiring user action. Contraceptive methods that fall under LARC include intrauterine devices (IUDs) and subdermal contraceptive implants.…”

Objective: To study the rate and reasons for the early removal of etonogestrel contraceptive implants and associated factors at the family planning clinic in Siriraj Hospital. Materials and Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted between May 2015 and December 2019 and contained 1,030 women who received the etonogestrel contraceptive implant. The medical records of demographic characteristics and clinical factors i.e., implant insertion date, implant removal date, reason for implant removal, contraceptive use before implant insertion and after implant removal, documented bleeding pattern and acceptability, were identified. Results: The mean age of participants was 28.6 ± 6.9 years. About 21% of women (218/1030) prematurely discontinued their etonogestrel implant. A desire to become pregnant was the most common reason for early removal of the etonogestrel implant (32%). Meanwhile, the most common side-effect contributing to early removal was unscheduled bleeding. The associated variables of early etonogestrel implant removal were low BMI (p-value = 0.021) and unacceptability of bleeding pattern at one year (p-value < 0.001) and two years (p-value < 0.001) after insertion. Conclusion: Early etonogestrel implant discontinuation rate was remarkable and the main reasons for it include a desire to become pregnant and bleeding side effects. Moreover, a lower BMI and unacceptability of bleeding problems also increased the likelihood of early removal of this contraceptive method.
