Abstract
Objective: This research aims to determine the relationship between estradiol hormone levels and duration of use on sexual dysfunction acceptor depot medroxyprogesterone acetate.
Method: This research was an observational study with a cross-sectional method. Samples were 43 acceptors of depot medroxyprogesterone acetate who meet the criteria using the accidental sampling technique. Data were analyzed using Chi-Square.
Results: The results showed a significant correlation between the levels of the hormone estradiol to the incidence of sexual dysfunction (p = 0.000), as well as the duration of use of depot medroxyprogesterone acetate against sexual dysfunction (p = 0.000)
Conclusion: The length of time using the injection of depot medroxyprogesterone acetate significantly reduces the level of the hormone estradiol which can cause sexual dysfunction in depot medroxyprogesterone acetate acceptors.
