What are the Implications for Fertility and Contraception?
ITP does not typically affect fertility, but the condition and its treatment can influence contraceptive choices. Women with ITP should avoid contraceptive methods that may increase the risk of bleeding, such as the copper IUD. Hormonal contraceptives are generally preferred as they can help manage menorrhagia. It is essential to have a personalized contraceptive plan in consultation with a gynecologist.
