Summary

The aim of this book is to help women understand what they want from contraception – this may include control of heavy bleeding, for example, in addition to preventing pregnancy – and which options might meet those needs. The aim is not to be too prescriptive – it is a healthcare professional’s role to discuss underlying medical issues that might influence the choice of an individual brand of pill, for example. We want women to understand their choices and to feel empowered to have a meaningful discussion with healthcare professionals.
