Hormonal contraception, because of the numerous beneficial effects is always used not only for protection against unwanted pregnancy, but also as means of treating a variety of gynecological diseases. Enthusiasm for curative aspects of hormonal contraceptives has led to a shift in emphasis on therapeutic practice and underuse of preventive potential of contraceptive hormones. This particularly refers to the management of women of seniorreproductive group repositories in premenopausal and perimenopausal age. In this group the leading role is left to the questions of treating disorders associated with the extinction of ovarian functions including abnormal uterine bleeding, and substitution of estrogen deficiency, while the problem of birth control tends to be overshadowed. Reduced fertility in this age period should not be an argument for abandoning contraception, especially taking into consideration the fact that timely administration of contraceptive will not heal, but prevent the development of similar violations, which subsequently become an indication for therapeutic purpose of contraceptive hormones. Dual prevention, including the prevention of unwanted pregnancies and prevention of gynecological diseases associated with aging of the reproductive system is the basis for the selection of effective, timely and safe contraception with additional healing properties for women entering into physiological premenopausal period.
