Hormonal contraception
This document discusses hormonal contraception, including combined oral contraceptives (COCP), the contraceptive patch, vaginal ring, and progestogen-only methods. It covers the types of hormones used, modes of action, indications, contraindications, risks and side effects. Combined methods primarily prevent ovulation while also thickening cervical mucus and thinning the endometrium. Progestogen-only methods primarily work by thickening cervical mucus but can also prevent ovulation or thin the endometrium. Contraindications depend on medical conditions and are classified by the WHO. Risks include minor side effects as well as serious risks like blood clots and certain cancers.
