Abstract

Combined hormonal contraceptives (CHC), containing estrogen, remain the most popular choice of contraceptive among women. While the method offers many benefits, the use of CHC involves potential health risks. The aim of this study was to analyze the available evidence on the prevalence of CHC use among women with contraindications to their use according to the WHO recommendations (2015).
