Abstract

Conclusions: Previously related diseases of patients with high ages are increasingly present in young women, who need more assistance in reproductive planning, focusing on anamnesis and general physical examination, responsible for revealing significant findings for the eligibility of contraceptive methods, aiming to the reduction of health risks. [...]they present high effectiveness rates, which favors their use.1 In Brazil, progestin-only hormonal contraceptives, as well as combined estrogen and progestin ones, are most commonly used and indicated in the form of pills or injectables.2 It is estimated that more than 60% of Brazilians use oral contraceptive methods to prevent pregnancy.3 Such methods may have health risks, especially if long-term risk factors, such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), deep-vein thrombosis (DVT)1 and breast cancer are present.4 Given this, the correct prescription of these drugs is essential to prevent serious side effects on women. The data were collected by means of interviews and recorded on structured forms which included sociodemographic and gyneco-obstetrical variables, RP aspects, and personal and family risk factors associated with the use of hormonal contraceptive methods. [...]it can be viewed as an adverse effect of hormonal contraceptive use.
