Advice on contraception

Does the choice of contraceptives depend on the age of the woman? Choosing the type of contraception - a task that is best solved together with a doctor. The main criteria are - effectiveness of contraception and comfort of use. 👯16-19 years - The most suitable form of contraception for this age group is hormonal contraception. It is recommended under the following conditions: regular sex life; first menstruation at least two years before; height of not less than 160 cm; absence of obesity and serious diseases of the heart and blood vessels. 👸🏼20-35 years - Young women in this age group fit all means and methods of contraception. One of them is the IUD. This method is simple and does not require the level of self-control required with birth control pills. At the same time, hormonal contraception (the pill) remains one of the most effective and acceptable methods of protection against unwanted pregnancy. 👩🏼35-45 years - IUDs are preferred at this age, however, they are often contraindicated due to the presence of some uterine diseases (erosion, fibroids, etc.). When choosing a hormonal method of contraception (in the absence of contraindications and bad habits such as smoking), preference should be given to pills of the latest generation with minimal hormone content. 👭More than 45 years The main difficulties in selection methods of protection against pregnancy in women over 45 years old are related to existing risk factors (overweight, smoking, comorbidity, etc.). Hormonal contraception is not only highly effective, but also has protective properties against a number of gynecological diseases. The use of transdermal and vaginal hormonal contraceptives is also recommended. They do not increase the risk of thrombosis and have less effect on blood pressure and liver functions. Always keep in mind that a condom is one of the most effective methods of contraception and that it is the only method of contraception that protects against sexually transmitted diseases!!!
