Contraceptive-induced impairment: a rodent model study of levonorgestrel and DMPA
These findings suggest that prolonged use of Levonorgestrel or DMPA may significantly alter the oestrous cycle, potentially impairing fertility and delaying reproductive recovery. Further studies are needed to explore the long-term consequences of contraceptive-induced cycle disruptions.
