Summary: The study found that women using combined oral contraceptives had a lower risk of depression compared to non-users, while women using oral progestogen-only products had almost no increased risk.

Summary: The study revealed that the use of combined hormonal contraceptives and antifibrinolytic agents for refractory heavy menstrual bleeding is commonly practiced, showing efficacy and relatively good safety profile. Further research is needed to investigate this treatment approach.

Summary: The study found that nearly one in five postpartum women had category 3 or 4 contraindications to combined hormonal contraception. Women who were older, overweight, obese, and insured were more likely to have contraindications. Compared to U.S.-born Latina women, Black women were more likely to have contraindications, while foreign-born Latina women were less likely.

Summary: We investigated the effects of hormonal and non-hormonal oral contraceptives on bone mass, mineralization, composition, mechanical properties, and metabolites in pubertal female rats. Both types of contraceptives had adverse effects on various skeletal parameters, with the hormonal contraceptive having a greater negative impact on bone strength. Overall, the study highlights the importance of considering the effects of oral contraceptives on bone health.

Summary: The study found that current users of hormonal contraceptives among African American women had significantly lower mean AMH levels. There was little difference in AMH levels between former users and non-users of hormonal contraceptives. Different types of hormonal contraceptives also had varying effects on AMH levels.

Summary: This review evaluates the effects of hormonal contraceptives (HC) on various chemistry tests and finds that different parameters are affected based on the dosage, duration, composition, and route of administration of the HCs. The use of HC in women mainly stimulates the liver production of binding proteins. Therefore, biochemical test results of women using HC should be carefully assessed and unexpected test results should be further evaluated.

Summary: The study found that the use of any hormonal contraceptives increases the risk of cervical cancer, especially in current or recent users. The risk is higher with combined contraceptives compared to progestin-only contraceptives, affecting both adenocarcinoma and squamous cancer.

Summary: The goal of antepartum fetal surveillance is to evaluate the fetal well-being and reduce the risk of stillbirth. Techniques based on assessment of fetal heart rate (FHR) patterns, in combination with real-time ultrasonography and umbilical artery Doppler velocimetry, are used to assess the risk of fetal death in pregnancies complicated by preexisting or developing maternal conditions.

Summary: This study compared the chemosensory perception abilities between women using oral contraceptives and those not using them, and found that the thresholds for odor, trigeminal, and taste were not affected by OC use. The study concluded that the effects of OC use on chemosensory perception are unlikely to have behavioral relevance.

Summary: Uterine leiomyomas are the most common solid and symptomatic neoplasm in women, often leading to hysterectomy. However, there are alternative management options for patients who wish to preserve their uterus. This Practice Bulletin offers updated evidence-based recommendations for the medical, procedural, and surgical management of symptomatic leiomyomas.

Summary: This article provides a quantitative synthesis of the effect of hormonal contraceptive use on skeletal muscle hypertrophy, power, and strength adaptations in response to resistance exercise training. The results indicate that hormonal contraceptive use does not have a significant effect on these adaptations.

Summary: No-daily hormonal contraception, including SARC and LARC, provides high contraceptive efficacy, avoids daily oral intake, and offers non-contraceptive benefits. Personalized and tailored contraceptive counseling should be implemented based on different subsets of patients and specific contexts for use.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the hematological parameters of reproductive-age women taking hormonal contraceptives at a hospital in Northwest Ethiopia. The results showed that combined oral contraceptive users had higher platelet counts than controls, while long-term use of implants can result in low red blood cell counts. Baseline evaluation of complete blood count is recommended for women desiring contraceptive methods.
