Perception of Female Hormonal Contraception by the Main Prescribers

The recommendations for contraception, after researching contraindications to certain methods, are to offer clear and honest information to allow the patient to make an informed choice, adapted to her lifestyle. The best contraception is the one chosen by the patient. The choice of contraception illustrates the difficulty of assessing the benefit-risk balance in the context of functional and preventive treatment.

Taking into account this imbalance between patient beliefs and medical advice is an essential step in improving the provision of gynecological care.
