Abstract
Purpose: the article discusses the possibility of using combined hormonal contraception, the reasons for refusal and the use in women of high-risk groups.
Methods: a review of data for 5 years was carried out, the factors that led to the refusal to use this type of contraception were analyzed. Information has been collected on the guidelines for action in patients with a high risk of side effects using combined hormonal contraception.
Conclusions: women’s fear of adverse events, the formation of health problems, are one of the main reasons for refusing to use contraceptives or completely stopping their use. Future research should explore user bias towards hormonal contraception for a better understanding of birth control, better matching the needs and expectations of women and men today.
