Counseling as the guarantee of the correct contraception method selection

Abstract

High frequency of unplanned pregnancies remains a significant problem in many countries, including Russia. This figure can be significantly reduced when the reversible contraceptive long-acting methods are used (Long-Acting Reversible Contraception - LARC), including intrauterine system (IUS). LARC-methods are highly effective, and are mainly characterized by small number of contraindications and side effects, thus being economically profitable along the application. Particular attention is paid to the benefits of levonorgestrel-releasing system, which, if timely advised can be a good choice for most women.
