Contraceptive Challenges in Women With Common Medical Conditions

Mayo Clin Proc. 2020 Nov;95(11):2525-2534. doi: 10.1016/j.mayocp.2020.08.045.

Abstract

Women have the opportunity to meet personal contraceptive goals with convenient, highly reliable, and easily reversible methods. Long-acting reversible contraception represents an increasingly popular option for most women throughout the reproductive lifespan. Nonetheless, many women and their health care providers are challenged by coexisting medical issues. We aim to help clinicians individualize contraception and use shared decision-making to enhance patient satisfaction and continuation with their method.
