Abstract

Hormonal contraceptive pills containing 750 microgram levonorgestrel are the most commonly used postcoital contraceptive method because of their high efficacy and fewer side effects. Emergency contraceptive pills containing levonorgestrel present their effects by several mechanisms, including delayed tubal transport of the ovum. A delay of tubal transportation of an ovum is also one of the possible etiologic factors of tubal ectopic pregnancies. There are limited data on the risk of ectopic pregnancy following levonorgestrel treatment as an emergency contraception. Here, a case of tubal pregnancy associated with the use of levonorgestrel containing emergency contraceptive pills has been presented along with discussion of the relevant literature.

Özet

750 Mg levonorgestrel içeren hormonal kontraseptif haplar, yüksek etkinlikleri ve düşük yan etki profilleri ile en yaygın kullanılan kontraseptif yöntemlerdir. Levonorgestrelli acil kontraseptif haplar, ovumun tubal transportunun gecikmesini de içeren çeşitli mekanizmalarla gebelikten koruyucu etki gösterirler. Ovumun tubal transportunun gecikmesi aynı zamanda tubal ektopik gebelikler için de bir risk faktörüdür. Levonorgestrelli acil kontraseptif hap kullanımı sonrası ektopik gebelik riski ile ilgili sınırlı bilgiler mevcuttur. Bu yazıda acil kontrasepsiyon amacıyla levonorgestrelli hap kullanımı sonrası oluşan tubal ektopik gebelik olgusu sunulmuş ve konu ilgili literatür bilgileri eşliğinde tartışılmıştır.
