Abstract: The study investigates the relationship between contraceptive efficacy, side effects, and duration of use through a prospective longitudinal study. It found that longer durations of contraceptive use were associated with decreased efficacy, confirming method fatigue. The study also revealed distinct side effect profiles for different contraceptive methods, with hormonal methods showing higher risks. The study's significance lies in its contribution to contraceptive research by highlighting the temporal dimension's importance. Longitudinal analysis provides a dynamic view of contraceptive behaviors and outcomes, enriching our understanding of the relationship between duration, efficacy, and side effects. The findings suggest the need for tailored counseling and education, promoting informed contraceptive choices and method switching. Integrating longitudinal insights into family planning programs could enhance user satisfaction and adherence rates. The findings have significant implications for clinical decision-making and policy formulation, aiming to improve reproductive health outcomes.
