Zusammenfassung

Durch Weiter- und Neuentwicklungen ist das Feld der natürlichen Methoden der Familienplanung unübersichtlich geworden. Unter den klassischen Methodenbezeichnungen – Temperaturmethode, Billings-Methode, symptothermale Methode – verbergen sich zahlreiche Varianten, die sich hinsichtlich Sicherheit, Praktikabilität und Akzeptanz erheblich unterscheiden. Sensiplan® (www.sensiplan.eu) ist der neue Name für die evidenzbasierte symptothermale Methode der deutschen Arbeitsgruppe NFP. Die hohe Zuverlässigkeit ist nachgewiesen. Mit relativ wenig Aufwand können Frauen das fertile Fenster im Zyklus selbstständig bestimmen und dies zur Familienplanung sowie zum differenzierten Zyklusmonitoring nutzen.

Abstract

Due to new and further developments, the field of natural family planning methods has become confusing. The conventional nomenclature—the temperature method, the Billings method, the symptothermal method—includes numerous variations of natural methods that vary substantially in efficacy, practicability, and acceptability. The new name of the evidence-based symptothermal method of the German working group NFP (Natural Family Planning) is sensiplan® (www.sensiplan.eu), which has a proven high efficacy rate. Women can reliably and independently determine the fertile window of their individual cycle without much effort. Thus, this method can be used for family planning and differentiated monitoring of a woman’s cycle.
