Series Editor Introduction W hen I fi rst opened my series editor manuscript of the fi rst edition of T he Handbook of Contraception: A Guide for Practical Management, I was on a tiny plane on the way to giving a lecture in Albany, NY. I expected to peruse the manuscript and found that I could not put it down. The Handbook of Contraception: A Guide for Practical Management is an incredibly informative and enjoyable read. The second edition of this fi ne book is no disappointment. In keeping with the objectives of this series for primary care clinicians, and carrying on the tradition of the fi rst edition, there is a quality in this title that is uncommon among medical textbooks. The chapters of this book are written with extraordinary intelligence and under- standing, and with attention to practical considerations in the selection and manage- ment of contraceptive options. The authors have reviewed the science behind contraception, including the chemical structure and effects of hormonal contracep- tion, physiology of contraception, effi cacy rates, and side effects, as well as the practical considerations that are relevant in helping patients choose between differ- ent contraceptive options. They do this with a clarity of language and intent that lets the book cover with suffi cient detail the full range of questions that any primary care clinician will have regarding any of the traditional or new contraceptive options. Also included in each chapter is a section on “counseling tips,” which explicitly answers many of the questions that clinicians and their patients often have when discussing contraceptive options. For a book so useful and well done, the editors and authors deserve our thanks. Neil S. Skolnik, MD vii Pref ace C ontraception is now linked with many important partners. The introduction of the LARC methods and their extremely high effi cacy has propelled IUDs and implants into an ever increasing popularity and a wider population base. Closely coupled to the design, development, and introduction of new contraceptive methods has been attempts to dramatically reduce menstrual blood and associated symptoms. But p ossibly the most important partner has been the associated reductions in nonseri- ous and serious medical diseases. New guidelines are educating both health care workers and their patients as to the safest methods and which methods to avoid. Contraception is now entering a new world with options for high effi ciency, low safety risks, protection from many nonserious medical conditions, signifi cant reduc- tions in serious medical diseases, and dramatic decreases in menstrual bleeding. This Handbook is designed to interplay these many partners when considering par- ticular clinical situations and then when considering particular contraceptives. In Chap. 1 Crystal Goldsmith puts the emphasis on contraceptive effectiveness and frequently asked questions about effectiveness. The next chapter reviews choos- ing the right contraceptive for women in the general reproductive age, adolescents, perimenopausal, following pregnancy, and during lactation. This is followed by Jennefer Russo and Anita Nelson contribution, Contraception in Women with a Medical Condition. Chapters 4 through 14 review the current methods used in the United States. Each of these chapters contains pertinent sections on category options, general overview of method, clinical effectiveness, picking the right candidate, advantages, clinical concerns, counseling tips, initiating the method [insertion or removal tips], managing side effects, and mechanisms of action.
