Context:

  • Perimenopause is a transitional phase in women's reproductive lives.
  • Characterized by irregular ovulation, increased risk of estrogen-dependent diseases, and potential for unwanted pregnancy.

Purpose:

  • To discuss contraindications and suitability of various methods in this life stage.

Summary:

  • Contraceptive choices during perimenopause include low-dose estro-progestagen pills (preferable for non-smokers) and intra-uterine devices (IUDs) like copper or levonorgestrel-releasing.
  • Vaginal contraception is an option, though partner-related sexual issues should be considered.
  • Pure progestagen contraceptives are not officially indicated for contraception alone in France.
  • Bioactive IUDs are effective for menorrhagia.

Impact:

  • Provides guidance for healthcare providers in selecting appropriate contraception for perimenopausal women.
