简要总结

  1. Purpose: To compare the use of the menstrual cup "The DivaCupTM " to a menstrual strategy using tampons as the primary method of menstrual flow management using indicators of user-satisfaction, urinary tract infection, vaginal irritation, cost and waste.
  2. Hypothesis: The "The DivaCupTM" will have similar rates of user-satisfaction, urinary tract infection, and vaginal irritation as a menstrual strategy using tampons as the primary method of menstrual flow management but will likely be more reasonable in terms of cost and will generate less waste.

详细描述

Method:

Prospective study of 100 women from family practice offices in Vancouver, Victoria and Prince George who currently use tampons to manage menstrual flow. After an information session and consent, subjects will be randomized to tampon use or Diva Cup use and record their experience on a diary for 3 months. Women who attend the information session and who do not enrol, or those who drop out will be asked their reasons for discontinuing, and their pre-study questionnaire will be used for analysis.
