USE OF CONTRACEPTIVES IN AGE AGE

In the elderly, it is very important not to stop using contraceptives too soon. If you are a woman and you are under fifty, you should continue to use contraceptives until at least two years have elapsed since the last menstrual cycle. If you are over fifty, you should continue to use contraceptives for at least one more year after the last menstrual cycle has passed.

Contraceptive agents can be any. It is best to choose those that will resist the signs and symptoms characteristic of the period of menopause. If a woman resorts to a course of therapy that restores the hormonal balance, she should consult a doctor about the use of some non-hormonal contraceptives.

• A combined contraceptive pill is suitable for women who tolerate estrogen well. Such pills can counteract the signs and symptoms characteristic of the menopause period. Unfortunately, the use of combined tablets interferes with the manifestation of the symptoms of menopause. Therefore, many doctors advise women older than 50 years to stop taking hormones and switch to some non-hormonal method of contraception.

• Progestogen-based hormonal progestogen tablets, injections, implants and intrauterine contraceptive systems are a highly effective alternative to combination tablets, but less effective for menopausal women compared to estrogen tablets.

• Barrier contraceptives( condoms, diaphragms and cervical caps) are especially effective for older women. Their contraceptive properties are slightly lower in comparison with hormonal methods of contraception, but this is compensated by the fact that with the

onset of menopause, the reproductive function of the female body is already decreasing. True, barrier contraceptives do not solve the problems associated with symptoms and signs characteristic of menopause. However, barrier methods can be used in parallel with a course of therapy that restores the hormonal balance before the onset of menopause.

• Intrauterine contraceptives( spirals) are also a highly effective method of contraception, well combined with a course of therapy that restores hormonal balance.

• The method of natural birth control is virtually helpless and not recommended for women over 45 years of age, because their menstrual cycle begins to malfunction during this period.

• Male and female sterilization has until now been considered the most effective way to control births in people over 40 years of age. But now the popularity of this method is falling. Doctors advise patients to give preference to contraceptives, since the reproductive capacity of the organism after 40 years begins to decrease. Sterilization will provide protection from an unwanted pregnancy for a number of years, but the risk associated with surgery is much greater than the usual use of contraceptives during the mature period of life. Therefore, many still prefer contraceptive methods of protection.

Male and female condoms are still recommended for use as a barrier method when there is a risk of contracting sexually transmitted infections.
