ABSTRACT
Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the number colonies of Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) and Candida albicans on the Cyclofem contraceptive injections with Depot Medroxyprogesterone Acetate (DMPA).
Methods: This study conducted cross-sectional study design, this research was conducted in the work area of the Belimbing Health Center and Microbiological Laboratory of the Faculty of Medicine Andalas University, Padang from May 2017 - April 2018. There were 48 samples selected by consecutive sampling, which were divided into 2 groups: 24 DMPA contraception acceptors and 24 cyclofem contraception acceptors. Number of LAB and Candida albicans colonies were examined by the Quebec Colony Counter Forming Unit method.
Results: The results of the mean BAL colonies in the DMPA group were 24,94 ± 24,25 x 105 CFU / ml and the cyclofem was 15,00 ± 27,08 x 105 CFU / ml. Statistically obtained p value <0.05 meant that there was a significant difference in lactic acid bacteria (LAB) colonies between DMPA and cyclofem groups. The mean colonies of Candida albicans in the DMPA group were 1.25 ± 3.52 CFU / ml and the cyclofem was 0.75 ± 3.09 CFU / ml. Statistically, p> 0.05 meant that there was no significant difference between the colonies of Candida albicans in the DMPA and cyclofem groups. Conclusion: This study concluded that there was no significant differences between cyclofem and DMPA contraception groups with the incidence of Candida albicans infection.
