Combined hormonal contraception is an effective method of preventing pregnancy and at the same time has a number of therapeutic effects. The need for contraception persists until the final cessation of menstrual function, but at an older fertile age, the selection of a hormonal agent becomes a daunting task. Over the past years, a woman has accumulated factors that can complicate the use of hormonal drugs, and, on the other hand, new problems arise in the transitional period of life, which combined contraceptives can solve. An equally relevant topic is the question of stopping the use of combined hormonal contraceptives and initiating menopausal hormone therapy. All of the above aspects of the use of hormonal drugs require deep understanding for the adequate management of women entering the final phase of reproductive life.

SummaryThe risk of thromboembolic events (TE) is increased by acquired or inherited thrombo -philias (IT). We know that some hormonal contraceptives also increase the risk of thrombosis, thus, the use of such contraceptives are discussed as contraindications in women with IT. TEs are infrequent events in children and adolescents and in the majority of cases are associated with secondary complications from underlying chronic illness. Although adolescents are not typically considered to be at high-risk for TE, this cohort is frequently using hormonal contraception, leading to an increased risk in cases with unknown IT. The risk of TE with pregnancy alone is higher than associated with combined hormonal contra -ception. Progestin-only methods have not been found to increase the risk of TE with only moderate changes of coagulation proteins compared to normal reference values. Conclusion: Thrombophilic women are good candidates for progestin-only contraceptive methods.

The review of the literature presents data on the possible risks of using combined hormonal contraception and the possibilities of prescribing purely progestogenic contraception as an alternative to the use of combined means. Progestogen contraceptives include a group of agents with different routes of administration, doses and characteristics of progestins, which have a number of differences in the ratio of benefits and risks, availability, reversibility and other properties of contraception. Particular attention is paid to purely progestogenic tablets containing desogestrel, as a means equivalent in effectiveness to combination contraceptives, but safer. Safety issues are considered in the context of the use of breastfeeding women, as well as from the standpoint of the risk of arterial and venous thrombosis. The issues of non-contraceptive positive effects of purely progestogenic contraceptives are covered.

Relevance. Currently, women make up more than 40% of the global workforce and more than half of students studying at universities around the world. Women's education, especially at a high level, tends to increase female employment. The mismatch of the style and rhythm of modern life with a genetically determined and working millennium reproductive program requires the choice of a specific approach to social adaptation. Aim. Analysis of literary sources on the use of hormonal contraception as a method of social adaptation. Materials and methods. To write this review, domestic and foreign publications were searched in Russian and international search systems (PubMed, eLibrary, etc.) for the last 2-10 years. The review included articles from peer-reviewed literature. Results. The review describes the features of modern hormonal contraceptives. Their non-contraceptive effects are presented. The individual non-contraceptive effects of a combined oral contraceptive containing 30 mg of ethinyl estradiol and 2 mg of chlormadinone acetate were determined. It has been established that the use of this contraceptive helps to improve the well-being and mood of patients, which allows you to actively use this contraceptive in routine clinical practice with premenstrual syndrome, dysmenorrhea, without the use of analgesics. Conclusions. The numerous positive effects of ethinyl estradiol and chlormadinone acetate allow the use of the drug as a means to increase social adaptation, and, consequently, improve the quality of life.
