Effectiveness and use of hormonal contraceptives (except for intrauterine devices): CNGOF Contraception Guidelines
Abstract
Hormonal contraceptives remain among the most popular methods used by women. The purpose of this work is to review the effectiveness and use of these different methods. In addition, some side-effects are feared and/or frequently reported by users of hormonal contraceptives: unscheduled bleeding, acne, catamenial migraines, weight gain, libido and/or mood disorders. In this review of the literature, the accountability of hormonal contraceptives for the occurrence of some of these side-effects was discussed and a management strategy was proposed.
