Symposium on Women's Dissatisfaction with Traditional Contraceptive Methods and Alternatives

    Image of study
    TLDR Non-daily contraceptives cause fewer side effects and are more satisfying to women, and certain oral contraceptives can treat acne and seborrhoea, with a combination of chlormadinone acetate and ethinyl estradiol being highly effective and safe.
    In 2007, a symposium highlighted the dissatisfaction of women with traditional contraceptive methods due to their impracticality, leading to discontinuation within six months. Non-oral contraceptives were discussed as potential solutions, with a trial showing that women who switched to a non-daily method experienced fewer adverse effects and were more likely to continue its use. A study also showed that 61% of women were very satisfied with a contraceptive vaginal ring, compared to 34% using low-dose oral contraceptives. The symposium also discussed the cosmetic benefits of oral contraceptives, particularly those containing a potent antiandrogenic progestogen, in treating acne and seborrhoea in women of reproductive age. Lastly, the combination of 2 mg chlormadinone acetate and 0.03 mg ethinyl estradiol was discussed for its high contraceptive efficacy, safety, and additional health and beauty benefits.

      Ketoconazole shampoo does not significantly reduce systemic or scalp DHT levels and is mainly used for its anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory effects. It is not a replacement for finasteride, which is recommended by some users despite concerns about side effects.
