THE THREAD OF WOMEN'S HEALTH

Effectiveness, reversibility, safety, acceptability.

These are four essential requirements that all hormonal contraceptive methods guarantee, with different combinations of active ingredients and methods of assumption. The choice of method assumes that you know, at least roughly, all the methods that are available, so it is important that you inform yourself. If in doubt, ask your gynecologist, either alone or together with your boyfriend or partner. Among the hormonal methods, the effectiveness of contraceptives is the highest (~ 100%); if you use them correctly, you are guaranteed to have no unintended pregnancies. Reversibility allows you to quickly return to preexisting conditions of fertility once you decide to stop your method. Safety is at its maximum to ensure no harmful effects during the period of use and in the future. Finally, acceptability means no interference with sexual spontaneity, and in this regard, hormonal contraception is also a winner.
