Many women from the age of 40 still have 10-15 fertile years ahead of them, but no longer want to have children. Moreover, as your body begins to change in this phase of life, you should reconsider your method of contraception.<\/p>\n

You should consider, that hormonal preparations with the active ingredient estrogen (such as many types of the pill) are considered very safe in their contraceptive effect, but do have side effects. They for example increase the risk of venous thrombosis, which already gets higher with age. Smoking or being overweight can also contribute to this risk. Therefore, the more of these factors accumulate, women over the age of 40 are often advised not to use estrogen-based contraception.<\/p>\n

With our contraception check, we at VenusMed will be happy to give you detailed advice on alternatives for risk-free contraception from the age of 40. We for example offer the copper IUD, the frameless copper IUD and the intrauterine ball, all of which do not use any hormones. However, the hormonal IUD (such as Mirena) can also be suitable for women over 40. It does not contain estrogen and instead uses progestin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
