Cevap
Match the 24-year-old with heavy menses to the Levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device; the 36-year-old smoker to the Progestin-only pill; the 28-year-old with DVT history to the Copper intrauterine device; and the 22-year-old with PCOS to Combined oral contraceptives.
Each contraceptive method is selected by integrating the patient's specific reproductive goals, their medical comorbidities according to the WHO Medical Eligibility Criteria (MEC), and any desired non-contraceptive benefits. The levonorgestrel-releasing IUD is therapeutic for heavy menses. Progestin-only pills avoid estrogen's cardiovascular risks in older smokers. The copper IUD avoids hormones entirely in patients with a history of thrombosis. Combined oral contraceptives treat the hyperandrogenism seen in PCOS.
