Abstract

ABSTRACT Purpose To audit hormonal contraceptive use and associated symptomology in elite women’s soccer in England. Methods Seventy-five elite women’s soccer players from the Women’s Super League (WSL) completed a questionnaire to assess: hormonal contraceptive (HC) use or non-use, reasons for initiation and discontinuation and the symptoms experienced by HC and non-HC users. Results Twenty-eight per cent reported current HC use, with 43% having used HCs previously. Combined HCs accounted for 62% of total usage, with progestin-only HCs making up the remainder. Eighty-six per cent pre-empted negative symptoms before commencing HCs, with 38% experiencing adverse symptoms. Negative symptoms were most common in progestin-only HC users (63%). Eighty-six per cent reported benefits associated with HC usage include pain management and the ability to predict or control their cycles. Six non-HC users reported amenorrhea, with one medically diagnosed. Negative MC-related symptoms were reported by 74%, with 4% unable to train due to these symptoms. Unfavorable symptoms typically occurred during the first days of menstruation (59%). Conclusion Most WSL players do not currently use HCs (72%). Most HC users reported benefits of HC usage, whilst most non-HC users reported negative symptoms especially around menstruation. Practitioners should track players' MCs to help minimise discomfort and maximise performance.
女足超级联赛运动员使用激素避孕药的审计;对症状的影响
【摘要】目的调查英国优秀女子足球运动员激素避孕药的使用情况及相关症状。方法采用问卷调查的方法,对75名中国女子足球超级联赛(WSL)优秀女足运动员使用或不使用激素避孕药(HC)、开始使用和停止使用激素避孕药(HC)的原因及未使用激素避孕药的症状进行评估。28%的人报告目前使用HC, 43%的人以前使用过HC。联合使用的hcc占总使用量的62%,剩下的仅使用黄体酮类hcc。86%的人在开始hcc治疗前预防了阴性症状,38%的人出现了不良症状。阴性症状在仅使用孕激素的HC使用者中最为常见(63%)。86%的人报告说,使用HC的好处包括疼痛管理和预测或控制月经周期的能力。六名非hc使用者报告闭经,其中一人经医学诊断。74%的人报告了阴性的mc相关症状,4%的人由于这些症状而无法训练。不良症状通常发生在月经的第一天(59%)。大多数WSL玩家目前不使用hc(72%)。大多数HC使用者报告了使用HC的好处,而大多数非HC使用者报告了负面症状,特别是在月经前后。从业者应该跟踪球员的mc,以帮助减少不适和提高表现。
