In general, <strong>hormonal contraception<\/strong> is contraindicated in a history of breast cancer, in known thrombophilias, in a history of thrombosis, etc., while non-hormonal methods (e.g. IUDs) are contraindicated in anatomical abnormalities of the genital system.

If the woman is using hormonal contraception, then a good approach is to switch to another form of non-hormonal contraception and continue it for up to a year after the end of the last period. If the woman is already using a non-hormonal type of contraception and is older than 50 years, then she maintains it up to one year after the end of the last period. At the age of under 50, however, she should maintain it for two years after the last period.   <\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><div class=\"bt_bb_separator bt_bb_border_style_none bt_bb_top_spacing_small bt_bb_bottom_spacing_small\" data-bt-override-class=\"null\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- cell_inner --><\/div><!-- cell --><\/div><!-- port --><\/section><section id=\"bt_bb_section6a076fcdb4802\" class=\"bt_bb_section bt_bb_layout_boxed_1200 bt_bb_vertical_align_top bt_bb_top_spacing_medium\"  data-bt-override-class=\"null\"><div class=\"bt_bb_port\"><div class=\"bt_bb_cell\"><div class=\"bt_bb_cell_inner\"><div class=\"bt_bb_row \"  data-bt-override-class=\"{}\"><div class=\"bt_bb_row_holder\" ><div  class=\"bt_bb_column col-xxl-7 col-xl-7 bt_bb_vertical_align_top bt_bb_align_left bt_bb_padding_normal bt_bb_animation_fade_in animate\"  data-width=\"7\" data-bt-override-class=\"{}\"><div class=\"bt_bb_column_content\"><header class=\"bt_bb_headline bt_bb_color_scheme_2 bt_bb_dash_none bt_bb_size_large bt_bb_align_inherit bt_bb_dash_type_none\" style=\";
