Abstract
It remains unclear what proportion of women experience discomfort among those who use contraceptive methods, as well as which specific contraceptive methods are associated with side effects, leading to misconceptions and perceptions about contraceptive methods and contributing to the unwillingness to use contraceptives despite being generally aware of contraceptive methods. The research objectives were to determine the criteria for administering contraceptives and the accompanying tests, explore the reasons behind the varying reactions of women to contraceptives, and investigate the potential correlation between inconveniences related to contraceptive usage and blood group type. The primary data used consisted of 200 married women from five selected primary health care centers in Yola, North Adamawa State, Nigeria, who volunteered to use various contraceptive methods. The contraceptive methods administered include Jadelle, Exluton, Implanon, Sayana, Noristerat, Levonorgestrel, Microlut, and Depo-Provera. Both qualitative and quantitative methods were employed, involving thematic analysis of relevant documents and interviews for data analysis. Blood group testing is not considered a criterion before administering contraceptive methods. Of the participants, 106 women did not experience any discomfort, while 68 women experienced discomfort with all the methods administered. The discomfort experienced by women was analysed based on their blood groups, revealing that certain discomforts were more prevalent among specific blood groups for different contraceptive methods. The results indicate that the majority of women using contraceptives do not experience discomfort. However, for those who do, the nature of discomfort varies across different methods and blood types. Thus, the unwillingness to use contraceptives can be attributed to the negative perceptions of a few women who experienced discomfort, the spread of misconceptions about contraceptives and thereby the discouragement of other women based on their experiences.
