Abstract:
The use of hormone therapy is an important therapeutic choice in woman's life, both for contraceptive purpose to avoid unwanted pregnancy, as well as for treatment of menstrual disorders, or climacteric symptoms. Medical care must therefore be dynamic, tailored to individual requirements as much as possible, reflecting personal and family background, potential risks related to treatment, and of course patient's wishes. We will first discuss the modalities of contraception in presence of obesity, then the need for potential adjustment following bariatric surgery.
