Match the following patient clinical profiles with the most appropriate contraceptive method based on the World Health Organization Medical Eligibility Criteria and specific non-contraceptive benefits.
- Patient with heavy menstrual bleeding and severe dysmenorrhea seeking long-acting reversible contraception that minimizes bleeding.Levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device
- Patient with polycystic ovary syndrome seeking contraception that also manages acne and hirsutism.Combined oral contraceptive pill
- Patient over age 35 who heavily smokes cigarettes and requests a daily oral medication.Progestin-only pill
- Patient with a history of provoked deep vein thrombosis requesting long-acting, completely hormone-free contraception.Copper intrauterine device
Cevap
The clinical profiles align directly with their respective primary indications: heavy menstrual bleeding pairs with the Levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device; polycystic ovary syndrome pairs with the Combined oral contraceptive pill; the older smoker pairs with the Progestin-only pill; and the deep vein thrombosis patient wanting hormone-free contraception pairs with the Copper intrauterine device.
Each patient profile has a clear, unambiguous match based on standard contraindications and therapeutic benefits. Estrogen is avoided in older smokers and those with prior thrombosis. The specific benefits of local levonorgestrel (reducing bleeding) and combined oral contraceptives (reducing systemic androgens) dictate the remaining matches.
