Abstract:

Following childbirth, most hormonal methods are an effective way to prevent an unwanted pregnancy. There are a few medical conditions that may prevent a woman taking the COC; these need consultation with a family planning doctor. On the whole most oestrogen-free methods are suitable, particularly if a woman is breastfeeding. However, they may not be the method of choice if irregular bleeding is unacceptable for social or cultural reasons. The advantage of these methods is that they are not coitus-related and do not involve touching the genitalia. The mode of delivery also does not preclude the use of hormonal contraception.
