Female Contraception: Hormonal Methods

    December 1982 in “ PubMed ”
    Guillat Jc
    TLDR Hormonal contraceptives are highly effective but require medical evaluation due to potential health risks.
    The document discussed various hormonal contraceptive methods available in 1982, focusing on combined oral contraceptives containing estrogen and progestin, which were highly effective in preventing ovulation and had nearly 100% effectiveness. It highlighted the importance of medical evaluations before prescribing these pills due to potential contraindications such as cancer, hypertension, and cardiovascular issues. Side effects like spotting, nausea, and hair loss were noted, with vascular problems being the most serious risk. Progestin-only options, including pills and injections, were presented as alternatives with fewer estrogen-related risks, though they could cause irregular bleeding. The document also mentioned the need for periodic discontinuation of pills for women desiring pregnancy and advised switching methods after age 40.
