contraception uses both hormonal and non-hormonal methods. The aim of the study
is to determine the impact of female contraception on uterine vascularisation
and the endometrium. Method: It was a descriptive comparative study with an analytical aim. It took place at
the University Clinic of Obstetrics Gynaecology and the Radiology and Medical
imaging Department of Sylvanus Olympio University Hospital in Lom¨¦ over a
two-month period from May 15, 2023 to July 15, 2023. Group 1 included women
using a modern contraceptive method and group 2 women not using a modern
contraceptive method. Epidata 3.1 and R 4.0.4 software were used to process the
data. Results: Each group included 50 women. There were no significant
differences in uterine and endometrial biometrics. All women on contraception
had their zone 1 vascularized, without vascularisation of zone 2, without
significant difference with women without contraception The pulsatility index
was greater than 3 in 51% (n = 51) of women, including 62.7% (n = 32) of women
without contraception and 37.3% (n = 19) of women on contraception, with a
statistically significant difference (p = 0.009). Conclusion: Contraceptive methods do not influence the biometry of the uterus. However,
uterine artery Doppler indices can predict abnormal uterine bleeding.
