Levonogestrel: It is effective?

Hello, today I comment about the class of the last Thursday. This class was about the “Postovulatory effects of the Levonogestrel in emergency contraception”.

The levonogestrel is the active principle of emergency contraceptive or “morning- after pill”.

The doctor Carlos Valenzuela explained that the levonogestrel is effective, but always to be used at the right time. He said there was a period which is name as fertile window period, which comes days before and few days after ovulation. And that in these days women are most likely to get pregnant. It is this period should be used when the action of this emergency contraceptive. However, he said that through statistical studies had shown that levonogestrel was effective, but as an anovulatory, then this method would be effective only after the sexual act, if the ovulation has not occurred. The effectiveness of this method is over 50%, but during or after ovulation and would not be effective as a contraceptive.

Then we can say that using this method or recommend, would be strictly necessary know very well the ovulatory cycle of the woman who recommend the method and know our own cycle, because otherwise you run the risk of having a unwanted pregnancy.

Dr. Valenzuela said that this method is very good, but the bad thing about this method is that it increases the probability of ectopic pregnancy, especially if used after ovulation.

Well, I think that this topic is very important and interesting for my future profession as a midwife.

Goodbye, you have a very good holiday and his incredible bicentennial celebration.

The problem in the health treatments on different countries.

Hi, today I´m going to talk about the different that exist in de world and this issue focused primarily on health care, because the day, Tuesday 7 of the September, my group of English classes and me, saw a documentary film, about this topic.

In my assessment there are huge differences from one country to another, as to the importance they give to health.

In the report the first stories about people who had accidents in U.S. In this country, health authorities are not interested in the integrity of the health of people, only care about the hospital services are paid, they do that the person have to choose between heal or not, because if people have not money can not heal ailments or diseases.

The second country featured in the movie was Canada. Health in this country is free, every time a person has health problems, assists the hospital and is served free, and only important to the quality of life of people.

Then talk about France, but right now I must be honest and decided that I did not understand anything of that they were talking about in this part as they did not understand their System of organization.

In contrast to the reality or our country, Chile´s health care is among a middle ground between Canada and France, as though these GEH (Explicit Guarantees on Health), although these is no such a program to help people that need improving for common things such as accidents or illnesses that are nor within this health program.

Well… That´s all.
