English to Italian Medical Medical: Health Care Contraception

Adolescent patients require reliable contraception, but often have problems with compliance. Careful counseling about options (including abstinence), the risks of pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease, as well as the need for both contraception and disease protection must be provided. These pa-tients may be better served by methods that rely less on the user for reliability (intrauterine contraceptive devices [IUCDs] or long-acting hormonal agents such as injections,
ring, patches, and implants) than those that depend on consistent use (use-oriented methods and those that are very time sensitive such as progestin-only oral contraceptives).
