Combined Hormonal Contraception (CHC) Methods course
This session looks at the use of combined hormonal contraception (CHC) methods containing oestrogen and progestogen. It gives an overview of the advantages, disadvantages and possible side-effects, as well as how to counsel individuals wishing to commence or continue using CHC.
Learning objectives
By the end of this session you will be able to:
- 3.3.1 List the advantages and disadvantages of CHC methods
- 3.3.2 Describe possible side-effects of CHC methods
- 3.3.3 List contraindications to CHC methods
- 3.3.4 Conduct an effective consultation with a woman considering a CHC, start methods of CHC safely
- 3.3.5 Conduct a safe repeat CHC consultation
CHC remains a popular choice of contraception in the UK. It is important that individuals are supported to make a fully informed decision on whether to commence CHC following discussion around the risks, benefits and potential side-effects of these methods. A full assessment should be undertaken to ensure the individual is eligible to commence CHC, followed by clear instructions on how to use her chosen method.
