Objective: Hormonal contraception can affect weight gain, but the dose of
hormones contained in combination pills and injections contraceptive is so
small that there is almost no influence on body weight. The aim of this study
was to determine the differences in weight gain as a side effect of hormonal
contraception on combination pills and injections contraceptive acceptors.
Methods: The design of this study is a comparative study in which
combination hormonal contraception is the independent variable and weight
gain is the dependent variable. The sample in the study was taken by simple
random sampling, while the population in this study were all acceptors of
hormonal contraceptive pills and combination injection in Langkap village,
Burneh sub-district with 151 acceptors. Data collection techniques used
documentation, statistical test using chi-square and considered significant
at 0,05.
Results: The results showed that p <α (0,02 <0,05). This means that HO is
rejected and H1 is accepted, so there is a difference in weight gain as a side
effect of hormonal contraceptives for combination pill and combination
injection contraceptive acceptors.
Conclusion: With these results, the authors hope that people should choose
contraception that is most suitable for themselves so that they can reduce
complaints and side effects while using certain contraceptives.
