- Abstract
Research and educational efforts to choose contraceptives for women with medical conditions are limited. Contraceptive and family planning counseling should start early in life, and the choice of contraceptive method should take into consideration the impact of an (unplanned) pregnancy on maternal-associated disease, the risks and benefits of the contraceptive type, the patient's age, the existing risk factors associated with her medical pathology, and the patient's preferences. Data from studies suggest a lack of interest regarding the use of contraception in women with known chronic conditions. The medical conditions may influence the women's birth control methods, and the prescription of contraception in various medical conditions may be a challenge. This paper is a minireview about contraceptive use in various medical conditions: diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension heart disease, hematological and renal diseases.
