Abstract:
CONTRACEPTION FOR ADOLESCENT. Adolescence is a key time to educate patients about sexual health and contraception. Decision-making should be shared and should consider the effectiveness of contraception, particularly related to expected adherence, secondary benefits, and risk factors. Long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARC) can be used as a first-line option due to their effectiveness. Common issues during adolescence, such as dysmenorrhea and heavy uterine bleeding, can be improved with hormonal contraception. The prescription of estrogen-progestin contraception should be preceded by a thorough assessment of arterial and venous risk factors.

At puberty, GnRH secretion increases in both frequency and...
