Description
Background: Hormonal contraception has transformed family planning, but its possible impacts on the bone health of young women remain a source of concern. Given the significance of Bone Mineral Density (BMD) to bone health, it is essential to investigate the potential association between hormonal contraception and BMD. Methods: This retrospective investigation included 200 women between 18 and 30 who attended the Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Science in Patna, Bihar, India. The study participants who claimed to utilise hormonal contraceptives were compared to those who did not. BMD was quantified using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scans. BMD changes were analysed statistically about birth control methods. Results: The results demonstrated that different contraceptive methods caused distinct variations in BMD. The BMD of the average oral contraceptive user decreased by 2.61 per cent, whereas the BMD of the average hormonal intrauterine device user increased by 2.48 per cent. The BMD of injectable contraceptive users decreased by 1.69 per cent, whereas the BMD of non-users (controls) increased by 0.80 per cent. Conclusion: This study illuminates the complex association between hormonal contraception and BMD in young women. These results emphasise the significance of delivering individualised contraception advice to address issues related to bone health. This study clarifies the complex interaction between hormonal contraception and BMD, allowing women to make better decisions for their overall health.

Background: Hormonal contraception has transformed family planning, but its possible impacts on the bone health of young women remain a source of concern. Given the significance of Bone Mineral Density (BMD) to bone health, it is essential to investigate the potential association between hormonal contraception and BMD.
