What are the considerations for contraception in special populations?
For adolescents, long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) such as IUDs and implants may be recommended due to their high effectiveness and ease of use. For women over 35, especially smokers, non-hormonal methods or low-dose hormonal options may be preferred to reduce the risk of cardiovascular issues. For breastfeeding women, progestin-only methods are recommended as they do not affect milk supply.
