Contraception Cases

What types of birth control would you suggest for these patients?

1. Sally is 16 years old and does not want to go to the doctor for fear her parents will find out.

2. Janet is 34 years old and often forgetful. She wants children later, but not now.

3. Twee and Jim are both 42 years old and definitely do not want any more children (they have two). Jim does not want to “lose his manhood” with a vasectomy.

4. Mary is Catholic and does not want to get pregnant, but she also wants to follow the Church.

5. Elizabeth is 41, has had breast cancer, and wonders what is the best method for her.

6. Mughea is a 25 year old uneducated woman in an impoverished, undeveloped country with birth control being paid for by grants from the United Nations.

7. Renee is 18, and wants to have sex with her boyfriend, but does not want to carry condoms because she is not “that kind of girl”.

8. Jim’s girlfriend is an intelligent student but does not like touching herself “down there”. She wants to be prepared for sex if it comes along, but does not want to be thinking about it every day.

9. Sherika and her boyfriend had sex last night without any contraception, and now wants something “after the fact”.

10. Cammie lives in a male dominated country, but she has had two children and does not want any more.

11. Diane is on the birth control pill. Her doctor prescribed antibiotics for an infection and she is concerned about getting an STD infection with this new partner.

12. Bill and Janet are 45 and 43 years old respectively, have been married for 23 years and have two children. They do not want any more hassle with birth control, but they definitely do not want another child.
