Zorluk: OrtaMenstrual Cycle Abnormalities and Contraception

Match each patient's clinical profile with the most appropriate contraceptive method based on the World Health Organization Medical Eligibility Criteria (WHO MEC) and specific non-contraceptive benefits.

  • A 24-year-old woman with a history of oligomenorrhea, severe acne, and bothersome facial hair growth who desires contraception.Combined oral contraceptive pills
  • A 37-year-old woman who smokes a pack of cigarettes daily, has regular menses, and requests a long-acting, hormone-free contraceptive method.Copper intrauterine device
  • A 31-year-old woman with a history of unprovoked deep vein thrombosis who currently experiences severe, heavy menstrual bleeding causing anemia.Levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device
  • A 22-year-old woman with sickle cell disease experiencing frequent vaso-occlusive pain crises who struggles to remember taking daily medications.Depot medroxyprogesterone acetate

Cevap

The patient with hyperandrogenism matches with Combined oral contraceptive pills; the older smoker matches with the Copper intrauterine device; the patient with a prior DVT and heavy bleeding matches with the Levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device; and the patient with sickle cell disease matches with Depot medroxyprogesterone acetate.
Contraceptive selection must prioritize patient safety by avoiding methods with WHO MEC Category 4 contraindications (such as estrogen in women >35 who smoke or have a history of unprovoked thromboembolism) while leveraging the non-contraceptive benefits of specific methods (such as reduced sickling crises with DMPA, reduced bleeding with LNG-IUD, and reduced hyperandrogenism with COCs).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the contraindications for the 37-year-old smoker and the 31-year-old with a prior deep vein thrombosis.
Both patients have absolute contraindications to estrogen (WHO MEC Category 4). The smoker requires a hormone-free method, making the copper intrauterine device ideal. The patient with the prior DVT has heavy menstrual bleeding, which is best treated with the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device.
Estrogen increases the risk of cardiovascular events and thromboembolism.
2
Evaluate the non-contraceptive benefits required for the 24-year-old with hyperandrogenism and the 22-year-old with sickle cell disease.
The patient with hyperandrogenism and oligomenorrhea (PCOS) benefits most from combined oral contraceptive pills. The patient with sickle cell disease benefits most from depot medroxyprogesterone acetate.
Combined oral contraceptives decrease free testosterone levels to treat acne and hirsutism. Depot medroxyprogesterone acetate is uniquely known to reduce sickle cell pain crises and does not require daily adherence.
