Which method of contraception best suits your patient's needs?
Contraceptive technology has exploded at breakneck speed. The options now available can bewilder patients who need

individual methods of contraception, and risks and benefits for various patient groups, the editor presents a clear
pathway to help your patients decide which method is best for them.

The book covers all available contraceptive methods with WHO Medical Eligibility Criteria of contraceptives and CDC
modifications. It gives sound advice on selecting contraceptive methods for women with bleeding problems, previous
ectopic pregnancy, mood and depressive disorders, hirsutism and acne, perimenopausal women, women with HIV and other
STIs.

Provides an essential guide to all gynecologists, family medicine physicians and health care workers who provide
