Gynecologists’ Association Recommends Implanted Birth Control for Teens

ACOG Updates Guidance to Recommend IUDs, Hormonal Implants for Sexually Active Teens

CHICAGO (TheBlaze/AP) — A national group of gynecologists said Tuesday it recommends physicians point eligible teens toward birth control implants instead of the more traditional pill.

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists said in its update to guidance regarding teens and birth control that IUDs or hormonal implants are long-lasting, more effective birth control that you don’t have to remember to use every time. It says they are safe and should be “first-line recommendations” by doctors seeing teenage patients for contraception.

ACOG states that with 42 percent of teens ages 15 through 19 having sex, eight of 10 of pregnancies occurring from these relations are unintended. This evidence it says “underscores the need for dependable and effective contraceptive methods for teens.”

Most are using some kind of effective birth control, but only about 5 percent use the long-lasting devices, the gynecologists group said.

Although the birth control recommended by ACOG is more invasive than the pill — the most popular form of birth control — and requires a doctor to put them in place, given that birth control must be taken at the same time daily to be most effective, forgetfulness could lead to these unintended pregnancies.

An IUD, or intrauterine device, is a small, T-shaped piece of plastic inserted in the uterus that can prevent pregnancy for up to 10 years. An implant is a matchstick-size plastic rod that releases hormones. It is placed under the skin of the upper arm and usually lasts three years.

The new guidelines don’t tell teens not to use other methods, but “if your goal is to prevent a pregnancy, then using an implant or an IUD would be the best way to do this,” said Dr. Tina Raine-Bennett, head of the committee that wrote the recommendations.

The organization’s previous guidelines, issued in 2007, also encouraged the use of IUDs and implants among teenagers. The new guidelines go further in saying physicians should discuss the two types of birth control with sexually active teens at every doctor visit.

The gynecologists group said condoms should still be used at all times because no other birth control method protects against AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases.

In 21 states, all teenagers can get contraceptives without parental permission, according to the Guttmacher Institute, which tracks laws affecting women’s health. A few other states allow it under certain circumstances.

The IUD and implant cost hundreds of dollars. The new health reform law requires health insurance plans to cover birth control without co-payments. Also, some publicly funded health clinics offer birth control free or at a reduced cost.

The American Academy of Pediatrics has been more cautious and has not endorsed specific methods of birth control, but is updating its guidance. Some pediatricians have been reluctant to recommend IUDs for teens, partly because of concerns over infection risks; an older model has been blamed for infertility.

Dr. Paula Braverman, a University of Cincinnati physician involved in updating the academy’s position, said the gynecologists’ advice does a good job of clarifying misconceptions about IUDs and implants.

An IUD called the Dalkon Shield that was sold in the 1970s was linked to dangerous and sometimes deadly infections. Newer IUDs have been found to be safe, and the gynecologists group said the risk of pelvic infections increases only slightly during the first three weeks after insertion.

The hormonal implant has been updated, too. The newest kind uses just one thin rod; an older type no longer sold in the U.S. used six rods that sometimes didn’t stay in place. IUDs and implants can be removed at any time with no lasting effect on fertility, the gynecologists group said.

“The ones on the market today are extremely safe,” said Dr. Mary Fournier, an adolescent-medicine specialist at Chicago’s Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital, who praised the new recommendations. “That is what everybody should be telling their patients.”

She said she already recommends IUDs for her patients and is being trained in how to insert birth control implants.

Raine-Bennett, research director for women’s health at Kaiser Permanente in Oakland, Calif., said she gets mixed reactions from her patients about both methods.

“Some of them say, `Great! Something that I don’t have to think about.’ Others are, like, ‘Hmmm, something in my body?’ It really varies,” she said.

Doctors need to be sensitive to that and provide detailed information to dispel any myths and allow teens to make informed decisions, Raine-Bennett said.

    ‘Kill Your Baby for Free’ day a success in FL. Illinois clinics considering same?
    Dozens of babies were aborted in Orlando, Florida this past Tuesday, as a result of a pro-abortion marketing campaign many called “free baby-killing day.”
    Scores of pregnant young women lined up at the Orlando Women’s Center to take the abortion clinic up on its offer to “dispose” of their pre-born babies—free of charge.
    In a sickening marketing display that treats murder like a two-for-one special at McDonald’s, the pregnant women were only responsible to pay for a $150 state-required sonogram.

      I’m normally not for intervention into the reproductive liberty of individuals, but in the case you describe (I’ve heard of it as well) I think the judgment was quite appropriate given the risk she is continuously potentially exposing children to risk of harm with no sign of abatement or remorse. In a case like that, it seems appropriate to limit or take away her reproductive liberty since she is abusing it to the great peril of her offspring.

      THE THIRD ARCHON, At the time I must admit that I was rather torn about who was right and who was wrong. Eventually the whole story came out and the damaged births had happened several times. I finally came around to the judges side and agreed that she had no right to continue to damage children that she would never put forth an effort to help. But, there was a media firestorm aimed at the judge back then.

    As a non-drinker and non-smoker who had a stroke at age 28 for no discernible reason than that I used a low-dose birth control and dealt with high levels of stress, I would approach the blanket use of hormonal birth control in teenage girls with extreme caution. Even though the current model IUDs are considered a lot safer than their predecessors, they are still only recommended for women who have already had a baby because of the potential sterility issue.

    And considering that schools are doing their best to intervene in the parent/child relationship and are promoting sexuality in children through school curriculums, I’m thinking this is shaping up to be what I once heard comedian Dennis Miller refer to as a “clusterstüpf.”

      I do not submit to your arm twisting and your words are offensive. If you want to win us over, do it with reason and not fear.”

      OK, now why would I want to “win you over” ? I’m not “arm twisting you”. I merely state the facts as I see them. Dr. Paul is done and gone and not in the “big picture” anymore. He’s set to retire very soon and yet you guys just don’t get that. Dr. Paul is leaving the polit6ical arena forever very soon.

      I like Dr. Paul and always give him the full title that he deserves. However, he’s gone, done and going away. We might never hear from him again. And Gary Johnson? I’ll never vote for a pot smoking ultra-liberal POS like him. He’s so lame it makes me sick.

      So what are you going to do? Vote for Obama or vote against Obama? It’s your choice.

      Like I said before… I love you like a brother but your vote is needed to stop Obama. Or your vote will keep Obama. It’s your choice. Go for it……

      again, there is no reason to bring up Ron Paul and make the ignorant claim that he has done nothing in his congressional career.

      Anyways, we have made perfectly clear from the beginning that Romney was the most liberal candidate. After the rule breaking during the primary and the trampling of the Ron Paul supporters in the convention – it is perfectly clear whom I should vote for. Mitt Romney’s goal has always been to win the moderates and not the independents….He even said so in his 47% video. Stop trying to make excuses for Romney – your job is to win over the moderates because that is what your candidate and your party want

      Here we go again, another scheme in which tax payers will be forced to pay for birth control for children.

      Once again it’s always a financial fix for the sins of the world levied by the socialist/atheist/liberals in order to suck the wealth out of the American taxpayers.

      Want to stop teenage pregnancies, take away their welfare and foodstamp programs that would support them.

      Let them have all the children they want, only pay for their child care and food stamps in order for them to survive they will have to get out and work for a living.

      The entitlements now make it possible for these free loaders to never work a day in their life at the expense of the American taxpayers.

      As your communist/muslim/Kenyan King has said, “We aren’t going back were are going forward!”

      Forward into socialism where the government makes it mandatory for teenage girls to have birth control implanted into their bodies.

    So, doctors are recommending IUDs over the Pill? I don’t see a problem with this, it seems perfectly reasonable to me. How is this newsworthy?

      Just don’t have an MRI with that thing in. Ever seen the ‘Aliens’ movie?

      Spend a few minutes looking up Searle’s CU-7 IUD from the 1960′s and see how that turned out. How anyone can conclude that inserting a hard, sharp object into soft cervical tissue and leaving it there for up to 10 years is a good idea is puzzling to me. I’d bet that Searle is still fending off lawsuits fifty years later. At one point in the 1970′s, it represented the majority of work their legal department did.

      Bob Dog: I’m sure that there is always the potential for problems with any medical device. In fact, a current coworker of mine is having problems with an IUD that has migrated and causing trouble. My point is that, all things being equal, I hardly see the news value in publishing a change of trends in doctors’ recommendations.

      Contemplate the agenda of the Blaze and its presumed audience for a moment, and you’ll quickly understand WHY this story is here.

      TTA – So you’re ok with underage teenagers getting an IUD without parental permission? Why can they get that yet they can’t take an aspirin at school without parental permission? No wonder you left wingers are so stupid.

    If teens and twenties are going to have sex, an IUD is the best choice. That decision is up to the child and her parents of course. I always wonder why Libs never mention the IUD which is a one time insertion that lasts 5 yrs, rather than asking us to pay for their daily birth control pills.

      That’s what ‘eligible’ means.
      This is another non story.
      I’m all for freedom of choice – on all fronts.

      Some Ho’s need all of the above to keep from getting knocked up, just ask Sandra Fluke, she is so fertile, she has to have 10 abortions a month, and that’s just from phone sex.

      Voiceofstupidity – Yet you’re not in favor of taxpayers or employers having the choice of not having to pay for it. Nobody else should be forced to pay for your stupid choices in life.
