Abstract
Background: Contraceptive effectiveness and safety have been questioned for decades. However, it is uncertain if hormonal contraceptives and (GDM) are linked.
Aims of the study: The study aimed to find out the relationships between the types of contraceptives used before pregnancy and GDM attended Sulaimani City Gestational Diabetes Mellitus Center.
Design of the study: This is a prospective comparative study.
Material and Methods: Direct interviews with study participants were used to obtain data. After gaining agreement, the researcher administered questionnaires to 602 pregnant women. This study enrolled 602 pregnant women, 300 pregnant women were enrolled in GDM groups and 302 for no -GDM, with a gestational age of 24–28weeks and a maternal age of 18 years or more who used hormonal contraception, including the tablet, intrauterine devices (IUD), contraceptive patches, cervical rings, and injections (administered monthly or every 3 months). Pregnant women below 18 years, with a history of taking drugs that affect glucose metabolisms such as corticosteroids, progesterone, and beta-agonists, and not using contraceptive methods were excluded from our study. The data were obtained via convenience sampling and a specialized questionnaire separated into three sections, including demographic techniques, obstetrics, and family planning from February 1, 2022, to May 15, 2022. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 21. The P-value and Chi-Square tests were performed to see if the variables have a significant association. Significant values are those that are less than 0.05.
Results: According to the findings, 78.5 % of GDM respondents and 66.0 % of non-GDM respondents used hormonal contraception. This study discovered that there was a significant variation between the two groups with age, instruction levels, BMI, equality, contraceptive type, and term of contraception since the p-value was less than 0.0 5. Nevertheless, there were no changes to either residency or employment.
Conclusion: The findings imply a link between GDM and the contraceptive technique used. To affirm contraception as a conceivable chance calculation for GDM, more consideration is needed.
