Clinical experience with Norplant subdermal implant system as long-term contraception during adolescence.
This study was undertaken to assess the efficacy, acceptability and side-effects of the Norplant (Leiras) contraceptive system during adolescence.. A total of 13 adolescents were implanted with Norplant immediately after menstruation. Adolescents were advised to present for follow-up visits at 3 days after implantation, at 3, 6 and 12 months and every 1 year thereafter. Blood pressure, menstrual disorders, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), triglycerides, glucose and side-effects were recorded at every visit.. The follow-up period was 24 months with a continuation rate of 100% (13/13) for the first 6 months, 92.5% (12/13) for 12 months and 53.8% (7/13) for the whole period. No pregnancies were observed. No infections at the implant site or expulsions were observed. Menorrhagia was observed in 4/13 (30.76%) adolescents in the third month. Thereafter all adolescents were treated with tenoxicam (prostaglandin synthetase inhibitor), so that by the end of the sixth month of treatment menorrhagia was not present in any of the 13 adolescents. No increase of blood pressure was observed. A statistically significant increase (p < 0.01) of triglycerides at 6 months after implantation was found; however, no difference was observed in the values of serum glucose, total cholesterol, HDL and LDL.. This preliminary study has shown that Norplant is acceptable as a contraceptive method among adolescents in Greece and can be prescribed safely.

Tenoxicam versus lynestrenol-ethinyl estradiol treatment of dysfunctional uterine bleeding cases during adolescence.
The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of tenoxicam versus lynestrenol-ethinyl estradiol (L-EE) in the treatment of severe cases of dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) during adolescence.. Forty-eight patients with objective DUB completed a randomized comparative trial of treatment with tenoxicam (20 mg daily, n = 23) or L-EE (1 tablet containing 0.05 mg + 2.5 mg, respectively, 3 times daily, n = 25). Treatment was given during menorrhagia until bleeding ceased. Mean age of the patients was 13.74 +/- 2.1 years (range, 11-18 years).. A significantly higher level of hematocrit (35.9% v 32.6%, t = 2.1, P = 0.0217) and hemoglobin (11.5 v 10.4 g%, t = 1.7, P = 0.0495), and significantly less hospitalization (5.75 v 8.33 days, t = 2.45, P = 0.0106) was seen in the tenoxicam group in comparison to L-EE group after completion of the treatment. Three patients were submitted to curettage and seven to transfusion in the group receiving L-EE, but no patients in the tenoxicam group required these procedures.. Tenoxicam is considered an effective medication for the management of DUB during adolescence.
