Dear Readers..!!! Thanks for visiting my blog...!!!
Tanya is 33 and presents complaining of breakthrough bleeding with her contraceptive implant. It has been in situ for over two years and she has been getting altered bleeding for the last four months. She is up to date with her cervical cytology screening: her last one was taken 12 months ago and was normal. She had an STI screen six months ago and this was also normal.
How should you investigate and manage the patient in this scenario?
In this new module Ask an expert: Contraception in primary care
Dr Cindy Farmer offers expert answers to GPs’ questions on common practical challenges.
Key questions answered include:
- What is the latest evidence regarding long term safety of the contraceptive implant and injection on bone density?
- How important is family history when discussing contraception risks?
- Changes in bleeding are so common in women taking hormonal contraception. When and how should I investigate this?
- You can test your knowledge with case-based assessment questions at the end of the module and download a certificate of completion for your appraisal or training portfolio.
