The choice of contraception needs to take into account blood pressure, smoking, history of blood clots and other risk factors.
Combined hormonal methods containing estrogen have a different risk profile than other methods. Special evaluation is needed in women with hypertension or who smoke, especially after 35.
Discuss with your gynecologist which method is appropriate and whether a cardiac evaluation is needed. A general information is not enough to choose or stop contraception.
The information is general and is not a substitute for medical evaluation. Do not change your treatment without instructions. For urgent symptoms call 112 or 166.
