| Abstract | Adolescent pregnancy is a high-risk pregnancy due to its biological, psychological and social consequences. Therefore, effective prevention of adolescent pregnancy is an important health issue. Condoms, if used correctly and constantly, are effective protection against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and unwanted pregnancy. More effective double protection is given by concomitant use of condoms and birth control pills. In ideal situations the pill can be prescribed after three regular menstrual cycles. Before the pill prescription a gynecological exam is not obligatory, nor is temporary discontinuation of pill use. Less often, slow-release progestogens, a diaphragm or intrauterine device, which is appropriate only for parous adolescents with low risk of STD, are advised. Postcoital contraception, as a last resort after unprotected sexual intercourse, is also an important choice of contraception for adolescents. | |
| Summary | Mladostniška nosečnost je zaradi bioloških, duševnih in socialnih posledic tvegana nosečnost, zato je učinkovito preprečevanje neželene nosečnosti pri mladostnicah pomembna zdravstvena dejavnost. Kondom zanesljivo ščiti pred okužbo s spolno prenosljivimi boleznimi in neželeno nosečnostjo ob pravilni in stalni uporabi. Večjo dvojno zaščito zagotavlja hkratna uporaba kondoma in kontracepcijskih (KC) tablet. V idealnih pogojih KC-tablete predpišemo mladostnici po treh rednih menstruacijah. Ginekološki pregled pred predpisovanjem tablet ni potreben, prav tako niso potrebne prekinitve jemanja KC-tablet. Mladostnicam redkeje predpišemo depo gestagene, diafragmo ali maternični vložek, ki je primeren le za monogamne mladostnice, ki so že rodile, z nizkim tveganjem za okužbo s SPB. Zelo pomembna kontracepcijska metoda je postkoitalna kontracepcija kot izhod v sili po nezaščitenem spolnem odnosu. | |
