Abstract
Effective contraception consultations are essential to delivering high-quality perimenopause care and reducing unplanned pregnancies. Contraception can be used independently, or in conjunction with hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Newer contraception options provide enhanced opportunities to individualise perimenopause care. This paper provides case based contraception options, which reduce unplanned pregnancies, erratic perimenopausal bleeding patterns and estrogen deficiency symptoms. Clinicians must also be aware of the potential impact of vaginal preparations which may affect condom integrity. Formulary updates should enable a wide range of options for contraception choices in all settings and provider updates should include this vital topic.
期刊介绍:
Post Reproductive Health (formerly Menopause International) is a MEDLINE indexed, peer reviewed source of news, research and opinion. Aimed at all those involved in the field of post reproductive health study and treatment, it is a vital resource for all practitioners and researchers. As the official journal of the British Menopause Society (BMS), Post Reproductive Health has a broad scope, tackling all the issues in this field, including the current controversies surrounding postmenopausal health and an ageing and expanding female population. Initially this journal will concentrate on the key areas of menopause, sexual health, urogynaecology, metabolic bone disease, cancer diagnosis and treatment, recovering from cancer, cardiovascular disease, cognition, prescribing, use of new hormone therapies, psychology, the science of ageing, sociology, economics, and quality of life. However as a progressive and innovative journal the Editors are always willing to consider other areas relevant to this rapidly expanding area of healthcare.
