Zusammenfassung

Bei der modernen natürlichen Familienplanung beobachten Frauen die zyklischen Veränderungen des Zervixschleims und der basalen Körpertemperatur. Zur Bestimmung des Anfangs und Endes der fertilen Phase werden jeweils zwei Parameter herangezogen, die sich gegenseitig absichern (double-check). Wenn kein ungeschützter Geschlechtsverkehr in der fertilen Phase stattfindet, liegt die Methodensicherheit dieser in Deutschland gebräuchlichen symptothermalen Methode bei 0,3–0,5 Schwangerschaften pro 100 Frauenjahre, die Gebrauchssicherheit bei 2. Diese Ergebnisse stammen aus großen europäischen Datenbanken. Diese Methode ist die einzige hocheffektive natürliche Methode. Sie ersetzt deshalb in Industrieländern die alten Methoden wie Kalendermethode und Temperaturmethode und auch die Billings-Methode.

Abstract

The symptothermal method (STM) is the most effective method of natural family planning, if two parameters to determine the beginning as well as the end of the fertile phase are used (double-check). The main parameters observed by women are BBT and cervical mucus changes. The method-effectiveness is 0.3–0.5 pregnancies per 100 women years, if there is no unprotected intercourse in the self-detected fertile phase. The use-effectiveness is about 2 in Germany. These results are derived from large European databases. In developed countries, the STM replaces the old calendar and temperature methods and the Billings method.
